Talking to parents about speed training for the young athlete: DO activities that involve running short distance at fast speeds...racing and chasing! Don't do activities that involve running long and slow...jogging Learn to handle bodyweight, crawl, climb, skip, hop and jump

Yup

Heart. Will. Wow.

"I've actually stopped using the word 'drill' w/my athletes as it implies a drilling of something into the brain so instead I will try to use the words: scenario, activity, problem, etc" Dr. Tyler Yearby

Kids made up their own game With their own rules Set up their own field Argue their own calls To the lay person it's just a silly game. Those In the know will realize there is a lot of magic happening here. #gamesbeatdrills #LTAD #Training #agility #athleticism

Children are notoriously poor at balancing and holding static positions but ironically they become very adept at staying on the ground for very short periods of time in things like running, jumping, hopping, leaping and changing direction. Ever notice children love run everywhere

Children are much more stable when moving. Slowing them down to teach technique, sticking the landing, holding positions, slow motion etc...is only working against their still developing CNS and their natural inclination to move and move fast. Craig Harrison, PhD #LTAD #PhysEd

How many different surfaces are your athletes training on?

#GameSpeed is about so much more than just the capacity to sprint in a straight line. - Curved Sprinting - Anticipation - Cut Steps - Reaction to Team - Reaction/Duelling/Adjusting to the opposition - Effective technical skills at high V: Control&Finish Perception > Action

I hope you enjoy!! Any feedback is more than welcome

Instead of one strict way of landing a jump. Offer up a number of different solutions for the athlete to explore... Land soft/quiet Land hard/stiff Land and fall to hands Land in a deep squat Land roll to your back Land facing diff. direction Land roll sprint #LTAD #norobots

1. Project maximally with each step. 2. Raise the center of mass with every step. 3. Increase the rhythm with every step. In sprinting, every step is a product of the step that preceded it. - Stuart McMillan

Two of the main muscles or muscle groups that weightlifters use are the lats and the glutes. These are also what make up the posterior fascial sling, the lat and contralateral glute. 1.) Psoas March w/ Band Pulldown 2.) Cable Low-to-High Chop w/ Split Squat #rrsc #ruderock

Push-up Bridge Relay from Sterling Physical Education is a great activity that combines #fitness & #cooperation. Our Shaull Elementary are displaying an excellent job of #teamwork to accomplish their goal. #physed #CVSDwellness

I hope there are a lot of takeaways as we provide an overview of biomech and physiol factors (joint-angle, ROM, intensity, time-under-tension etc.) that are important to understand regardless of how they are applied (EQI, iso, con or dynamic training)!

Latest #PhD methodological paper. We argument for assessing #isometric force and rate of force development at multiple joint angles, and demonstrate that peak force, and late-stage #RFD and #impulse are reliable regardless of knee-angle. journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Full…

Numbers on #Saints DT David Onyemata: three years, $27 million, source says. A decade ago, the native of Nigeria had never even heard of American football. Bet he's glad he found out.

My paper is published! Thanks to my team Craig Harrison, PhD, chris whatman and Peter Maulder.
