Why do stronger players run slower! 🥲

🙋🏿‍♂️Hands up if you have observed athletes get stronger in the gym , vertical jump higher, broad jump further , but with little to no impact on their speed. 😖

🚩Heavy squats , and deadlifts are great for physical conditioning but often this can be at the detriment to coordination and speed development🚩

❌To lift close to maximal weights , athletes often sacrifice form for force. ❌

🚩They hinge using their back more than their hip extensors. 🚩

🫠They illustrate poor trunk and shin discipline. 🫠

❌They fail to use their BUM BEFORE BACK❌

💡Proximal to Distal Sequencing during leg drive is an effective way to use the pelvis as an engine. This encourages appropriate folding/unfolding, winding/unwinding and essentially loading and exploding in the desired DIRECTION.💡

🤨The weight room rewards slow, vertical forces. 🧐

✅Useful for neural drive, explosive strength and often great displays of force production✅

🧭The weight room doesn’t discriminate DIRECTION of force production. 🧭

👉🏾👈🏾👆🏾👇🏾Even when selecting exercises focused on horizontal muscles (posterior chain), we have a choice on how to express our hips.
👇🏾👆🏾👈🏾👉🏾

💡Trunk Discipline and Shin Discipline encourage appropriate orientation of your force (Horizontal Projection). Stability at the proximal ends provides a foundation for efficient and effective triple joint extension (Sequencing > Full Extension)💡

💡The weight room can encourage a more quad dominant / ground based strategy , rewarding strong trunk extension (like a back hyper) which can ultimately shift your projection vertically.💡

🔥Creat large forces , in a short time , in the right DIRECTION !🔥

🙋🏿‍♂️Question time ❓
What coaching or programming strategies can you use to encourage proper hip hinging in the gym, in order to make your athletes faster on the grass?

[Strength & Conditioning Vacancies @sandcvacancies]

There will be plenty of quality coaches, analysts and physios looking for work. If your team is looking reach out to the staff who have recently been made redundant.

High intensity actions (accel, decel, braking/COD)

are GENERAL SKILLS for team sports.

Build bigger engines, stronger chassis ,brakes etc

Then calibrate through iterations of game actions

Hardware + software.

You don’t need to be a speed coach to coach speed!

Students only know what they know. Showing them explicitly the relationship between their input and improvement over time allows them to build their relatedness to practice. Would love feedback/to hear if this is useful for you.
