@kurt13warner Most likely not coming from your knees, check pelvic position. Are you developing your hamstrings? DM for more help if needed.

Observing players physical and physiological performance has been very interesting recently.

I see some players playing for content, rather than playing for the love of the game.

Motivation has shifted.

Can’t describe this loss but I wasn’t surprised. Italy has fallen once again, in real time.

@Challenger_ST This is disappointing. Unfortunately we’ve seen more videos like this than we’d like. It’s like the Fasica Cult but for Soccer Players…

@StrengthDebates You should max with maximum intent on specified moments in a training cycle for athletes. That’s why we use VBT.

[Ground Force Strength and Conditioning Training @groundforcejax]

“The Ground Force System prioritizes the explosive capacity first, then manages aerobic conditioning within match week structure.”

Our athletes sustain repeated sprint abilities pass the second half.

Movement restrictions are neural constraints, Force deficiency is capacity problem and Velocity deficiency is an expression problem.

This is the framework we use in our movement lab.

[James Walsh @904_walsh]

Seeing a movement pattern on the pitch and putting bands around you to replicate it in the gym is not sport specific and quite frankly a waste of time- regardless of what MD it is.

Every HS administrator/coach I’ve spoken to tells me they “have a guy/gal”. There’s a huge difference between having SOMEONE and having a PROFESSIONAL run your weight room. Be careful who you trust

[James Walsh @904_walsh]

Intention is an energy system that never gets discussed. It’s a driving principle for success.

[James Walsh @904_walsh]

What makes a footballer isn’t a singular thing. Not technical, not tactical, not physical. You can have all three and not be considered. There’s more to the story of a footballer.

Own your space.

[James Walsh @904_walsh]

The physiological demands of the game dictate the first layer.

[James Walsh @904_walsh]

There appears to be a common misconception that understanding of human physiology alone is sufficient to guide sport-specific training, when in fact the physiological demands of the body and the physiological demands of the game represent two very different layers.

[James Walsh @904_walsh]

Second being physiological demands of the game - speed of play, decision-making under fatigue, repeated high-intensity actions, and tactical context.
