Post Max-V session plyos: 1 for short ground contact vertical displacement, 1 for medium gc horizontal, and one for power from deep hip/knee angle.
Lots of phases from a short run up. Have to not only maintain horizontal momentum but hopefully add a little with good timing g and reactivity on the ground!
Acceleration day with some resisted and unresisted starts through some Vince Anderson accel patterns.
Plyo session with 3 different types of reactive emphasis:
1) RFE Band Resisted Jumps-vertical displacement & deeper hip/knee ROM
2) Hurdle hop-vertical but with more ankle-focused reaction
3) Gallop Bounds for horizontal displacement
When the step phase is short, it’s usually a problem with the ANGLE and not strength. Try mixing in a few short-approach Hop-Jump for distance and athletes may start to connect the LIFT after the hop landing with increased distance.
Early Season Hammer day includes some stick turn basics for the rookies and block work and 1/2 wire turns for returners
Great work by rookie Lily today at our first technical practice. Slowed it waaay down and cleaned up a bunch of stuff!
So much great information from these old educational films. Let’s make the weight room a better place for everyone!
There’s been a decline of weight room etiquette in recent years so I dug up some old educational videos to help folks out.
Nothing like coming home with a little hardware. Women beat 4(!) teams ranked in the top-10 to claim win at Paul Short.
