A thread on squat mobility - what it is and how to get it

The squat is a fundamental movement pattern that is a representation of:

✅Hip mobility
✅Ankle mobility
✅Pelvic & trunk control

Let’s break down why these are all connected and how to improve each...

@PratikxPatel Unbelievable

I really hope this isn’t a thing still. Get over yourself.

[Pratik Patel @PratikxPatel]

Any coach/department head/leader that forces interns or assistants to be at beck and call daily to get coffee/water/food/dry cleaning/etc just to reinforce power dynamics is a joke and horrible human

@RUGBY_STR_COACH 😳 stories like this truly make me appreciate my mentors in this field. The fact that someone like that was given a the responsibility of molding others is unbelievable

Just listened to the @scaphockey with @petef08 and oh man, what a passionate and energetic person to learn from! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences 🙏

#Hockey players typically deal with stiff backs from the nature of their posture in sport along with our typical kyphotic posture in daily life. In addition, based on their stick hand, there’s likely going to be more rotation on one side.

I use this prior to our dynamic work

On-ice 15m skate time is best predicted by off-ice 15m resisted (15kg isotonic) sprint time.

A simple test to monitor on-ice acceleration when ice isn't available?

@1080motion @jdcford @SAFxAbdul
Nice work team!

[Jamie Burr @Dr_Burr]

Running tests are commonly used in off-season testing/training to predict skating performance. Here @kmathompson @SAFxAbdul @jdcford show resisted sprints using @1080motion better predict on ice hockey acceleration https://t.co/Z0rp9cwzYA

There’s not many things that i love more than when an athlete comes to me for help with something. To me it means 2 things:
1. that they are very motivated and improving or solving an issue of theirs
2. They trust me enough to help them get better or provide them with guidance.
