Mama Kelce finding Travis and Jason after the game is so great.
She knew one will be on the losing end. But the moment with Jason was still very emotional. This got me...

"I have this theory that 99% of work that you do is useless. You still have to do it because it's iterating your way to the 1% that is useful. But, in an ideal world, if you are omniscient, you would just cut to the 1%."

The majority of movements in a team sport environment are not of a linear nature, often requiring the athlete to accelerate, decelerate and change direction from different positions as well as cover the required distance in non linear routes.

Bounding are a staple in most of our programs during various SPE phases. Bounding allows athletes to learn how to effectively produce force into the ground while spending as little time on the ground as possible.

Utilisation of the flywheel in your training can be beneficial in supporting changes in strength, speed and power metrics.

๐Measure to Manage!
When working with athletes providing objective feedback bodes well for improved technique and ultimately performance. In this video we show two two movements, overlays with barbell traces as well as velocity graphs.

Static starts ๐๐ผ
By changing the stimulus of a movement we can change the type of muscle activation and contraction type. Static start squats force athletes to focus on the concentric portion of the lift.

Team sport periodisation can be challenging with constraints present in the specific context which often donโt allow a โtraditionalโ model of micro cycle planning to be implemented.

Rapid eccentrics and the use of bands
One of the adaptations to using resistance bands is the increase in the eccentric velocity of the movement, resulting in a rapid eccentric portion of the lift.

This step allows for the transition of horizontal energy into vertical forces, by lowering the COM allowing jumpers to get off the ground with their next step.

When looking to develop explosive power in athletes, the hang clean has been a staple movement used for many years. Some research has shown an increase in general strength and power in various athletic populations.

Acceleration checklist ๐
One of the primary objectives in acceleration is horizontal displacement and specifically ensuring that optimal hip displacement is occurring in order to maximize that forward momentum.

๐๐ผโโ๏ธ๐จ Run straight, run fast, run often!
Linear sprint efforts ranging between 20-60m and at least at 90% of Vmax is still probably the โholy grailโ of maximal sprint training even in team sport athletes.

Velocity Based Training or Velocity Tracking as we like to call it, provides an objective feedback mechanism to the athlete while driving specific adaptation based on the intended speed of movement.

A staple in our programming year-round is the RDL! It is a great way of lengthening the hamstrings while strengthening them at the same timeโฆa crucial aspect of creating robust hamstrings!

Box jumps are a staple in most of our programs through the SPE and SDE phases. Vertical force production transfers well in to on โpitchโ performance, through an increase in max velocities, general lower body power, RFD and the SSC
