Hey everyone! Today we're going to be discussing an A Hop for maximal speed and acceleration training. So for this drill, it's going to be the same setup as our A March would be. We're going to achieve dorsiflexion or a toe up position with the knee drive. And for this drill, what we're going to do ...
Hey everyone, in this video today we're going to be discussing B Marching. So this is another way that we can develop maximum speed and acceleration. So what we'll do for this drill is instruct our athlete to get in the starting position. And for this one what we're going to be focusing on is a knee...
For hands and knees to three point transition phase two, start by bringing your foot up to your hand and then bring your arms overhead. Get up nice and tall and then come on down and bring your leg straight back. Being sure to fully extend the knee and then come back and repeat that position.
All right, now we're going to take a look at doing some resistance to dorsiflexion, to kind of get some overflow to the quad to get a stronger quad contraction. So we just simply wrap tubing around the foot here and go ahead and tighten up your quad for me. Good. And then bring your toes up and h...
For long arc quad with ankle pump with weight, straighten the knee all the way out. Hold it there. Bring the ankle up and down while you keep the knee perfectly straight. Repeat that ten times.
Now we're going to work on teaching her how to feel that multifidus contraction first of all reflexively, and then ultimately we want her to feel it volitionally. But this is kind of the first step. So what I'm going to have her do is I'm going to have you take this hand and bring it and find the...
For diaphragmatic breathing in half kneeling, go ahead and place one foot up so that your knee is at a right angle and your hip is right above your knee on your down leg. Go ahead and place a hand on your chest and a hand on your stomach. Take a deep breath in so that your hand on your chest is n...
Now we're going to take a look at both evaluating the person's multifidus and then also starting to show them how to contract it. We ultimately want to get a volitional contraction of the multifidus. So we're going to palpate the iliac crest. And then we're going to go inward and find the spinous...
For the hands and knees to three point transition phase one, start by bringing your foot up next to your hand, and then come up nice and tall with your arms overhead, getting into a nice tall posture. Come on back down and repeat.
For long arc quad with ankle pump, go ahead and straighten the knee all the way out. When you get it all the way straightened out, bring the toes up toward the nose and keep it there. Hold real strong and then point it down, up and down ten times.
For shoulder flexion isometrics, place a towel underneath your arm and then get your shoulder blades down and back with really good posture. Then bend your elbow so it's at 90 degrees and push into the doorframe for 10s. Relax and repeat.
