Tips on teaching the foot 🦶 contact and frontside mechanics to youth athlete’s.

Sprinting correctly can be CHALLENGING, but consistent exposure to the right movements and intelligent cueing can make the process much easier!

Love this cue for athletes struggling with picking things up off the floor.

How many of you use this one? Is there something better?! I’m all ears

GAME OF THE WEEK 📈

Noodle 🍜 Juke - Two partners approach holding the noodle and use whatever creative strategy to trick the defender. Noodle crew has to split before attacking target of choice and defender has to tag the athlete that still has the noodle.

Check out the benefits in the video and try it out next training session. Follow for more game ideas like this 📈📈

Your kid’s athletic window is shorter than you think.

Not to scare you … to wake you up.

The years between 10-18 are when the physical foundation gets built.

What are you doing with the time that’s left? 🕐

[Darren Hansen @CoachDHansen]

@titovillano11 @CoachDJClark_2 @ryanfleischmann @kadecalvintv @Coach_TMACK Yes sir

[Darren Hansen @CoachDHansen]

Most youth athletes don’t need more reps of their sport.

They need to learn how to move, improve outputs, and recover.

Sport-specific skill on top of a broken athletic foundation = a ceiling.

Build the athlete first. The sport will thank you later.

@TheDavidWeck 10lb or 14lb better for sprint applications

[Darren Hansen @CoachDHansen]

Learned the basics of the bounce-fire series from @KulaPerformance at the @universalspeedrating summit and have been implementing ever since that weekend with my athletes.

It’s challenging and checks a tons of boxes as you run through the different variations.

Typically I’ll learn something, test on myself, and then test on my athletes I’ve been working with for an extended amount of time.

I’ve seen improvements with my athletes that I’ve exposed to the bounce-fire consistently and it builds one of the MOST IMPORTANT aspects of athleticism, coordination!

@Tony_Villani_ You’re the man Tony, thanks for helping get more eyes on it

[Darren Hansen @CoachDHansen]

@BrianKight Appreciate you coach

[Darren Hansen @CoachDHansen]

Get @reshare_app • @coachdhansen Sport doesn’t favorite the athlete with huge gaps in development.

Bigs NEED to move fast and smalls need to be STRONG. You can’t avoid weaknesses and make it to the next level anymore.

Get fast, get strong, use strength fast, and build COORDINATION [maybe the most important quality]

@isaiah_leonard7 is 260+lbs of pure athleticism 📈📈

Snippet from my foundations of speed presentation talking about speed reserve and the big play capabilities high outputs create vs doing traditional long distance conditioning in training for athletes.

If you wanted athletes that were just “in-shape” your XC team might be a better fit.

Full presentation will be available soon!!
