🏃‍♂️CoD provides the mechanical and physical basis underpinning agility. ✅Successful CoD performance is underpinned by the interaction between 🚅Velocity 🚕Deceleration 👨‍🔬Mechanics 🏋️‍♀️Physical capacity

Just a little insight into what yesterday looked like for our students 👍🏻

By 2030, ⚽high intensity demands will skyrocket 40% But how can we best prepare players? Here are 6 conditioning qualities to target (For those who want to stay ahead of the competition) 🧵

Great to see our latest paper now published: 🆕Biomechanical and neuromuscular performance requirements of horizontal deceleration: A review with implications for multi-directional sports ⚽️🏈🏀 In Sports Medicine with such a great team. 🔓HERE link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s…

SPEED ASSESSMENT The 30m sprint is our gold standard when assessing our athletes sprint abilities. The key metrics we look at are: - Force - Power - Velocity - DRF - Slope Here’s a quick thread discussing each metric & what they mean about the athlete (continue ⬇️)

What speeds up, must slow down, But how quickly can you brake after sprinting? 5-20m acceleration and deceleration distances ⬇️

Opinions please Seen a few things about this age old thing recently, but never heard seem broad discussion, just one person sharing opinion Why do we see this leg position frequently during jump shooting in Basketball? I wonder if my perspective is a bit different 🤔

Eventually, your talent ladder will run out of steps. High-performing sport reveals those who skip reps or think that they know better. You cannot perform at that intensity and remain available without work. They become the people who talk about how they “almost” made it.

Defining Plyometric Intensity You can't program safely & effectively unless you understand the intensity of training exercises Plyometric intensity = stress exercise puts on muscle, connective tissue & joints Thread & videos below on determining factors of plyo intensity 👇

Deceleration is not optional. Whether a player is pressing an opponent, preparing for a change of direction (COD), or controlling momentum before a skill execution, braking is fundamental. Lucas Galmiche sportsmith.co/articles/testi… via Sportsmith

"Should we be doing static or dynamic stretching before practice?" Neither one reduces injuries the way you think they do. Here's what really matters.. Understanding Injury Causes Injuries in occur for two main reasons: 1. The volume demand exceeds the capacity of the

Everyone talks about force. Sprinting looks violent and ballistic. But the fastest athletes aren’t straining. They’re rhythmic and relaxed. What to look for - grimacing in their face…tight, raised shoulders…loose hands vs clenched fists... rigid, locked body vs. smooth and

If we really want to talk about developing athletes, we have to dig deeper into the qualities that make them elite. That’s often a difficult conversation, because some of these things aren’t as easily measurable as a vertical jump, a bench press, a squat, or a broad jump.
