Very simple concept: if your front shoulder doesn’t get beat you maintain a shuffle. If it does get beat you laterally run. Perfect example of a strong shuffle to take space away from offensive player.

Our Return to Sport: Acceleration and Agility course will soon be approved for CEUs for PTs and through the NSCA! More info coming soon!

The ability to drop the COM is a key component of any COD

This requires eccentric control at the ankle/knee/hip to develop braking forces at the requisite angle

An injury to any of these areas often results in a compensatory braking strategy and slower CODs

Eccentric RFD is critical for athletes to be able to brake and reverse their momentum in sport

These are 2 of our favorite ways to increase the velocity of the eccentric action

🟢kBox Zercher Squat
🟢Band Resisted Speed Squat

Want to see parallel shin/trunk at the bottom

Reggie Bush was so smooth, fluid, and dynamic

He was ridiculously elusive. He had incredible vision and found absurd angles to change direction/stop in 1-2 steps to create space from defenders

COD Prep

▶️Low Cable Pull Arounds
▶️Wall Lateral PIMA

Both train the coupled actions of the ankle/knee/hip and from a wide foot position

Want to see a parallel shin/trunk when in max ankle/knee/flexion

The point on the L heel contact is huge

The heel contact helps orient the line of force application horizontal and places more of the eccentric load on Maxey’s hips/glutes

The angles he applies force
His reactive strength qualities
How he repositions his feet

Allows him to create space

“Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”

Repositioning the foot to find a wide lateral foot plant and being able to reverse the eccentric ➡️concentric action enables athletes to change direction rapidly

These are two drills we use to build these qualities

SL pogo to lateral line hop

Traveling low hurdle Heidens

🤯What is thigh angular velocity (TAV) , does it even matter❓

❗️High TAV relates to faster running, more efficient running and can be a window for effective rehabilitation of running based injuries.

❓How do you maximise it ?

❗️Create large shapes in short times.

❓What

Lee is bringing the 🔥 with these breakdowns!

Lee is one of the best out there at breaking down in sport movement

COD and agility are not the same

The foot contact patterns are different and the braking strategies used are different

Athletes play in reactive environments and need to be prepared to produce a braking and propulsive impulse in the final foot contact

Can’t wait to hear this lineup!

Cardinals parents, players - take time out this evening for a special free virtual event hosted by Resilient Performance designed to help keep baseball players healthy during the spring season. edu.resilientperformance.com/resilient-seri…

Changes in F-t curve with an NFL player over 5 weeks

⬇️ Asymmetry in each phase
⬆️ Force @ min displacement
⬆️ Braking Impulse
⬆️ Concentric Impulse
⬆️ Countermovement Depth (important for this athlete)
⬆️ Jump Height

Still progress to be made but very happy with these changes
