Rarely do athletes have to just purely accelerate without other considerations. They constantly have to be able to adapt to changes on the field/court and react.
The ball drop sprint is a great drill to train acceleration in these situations. Speed is king! ๐บ
Coach Nova helping out last week during our 10yd hill sprints ๐ She's a great motivator! Asstitant Coach Banner just tried to eat grass the entire time...๐บ
The single leg box step down is one of the first progressions we do before getting to more advanced single leg movements such as the RFE split squat. We revisit it frequently both as a prep movement and a main exercise during the workout to see where athletes are at!๐บ
The power clean is one of the main ways we build explosive power๐ชWhile it does take some knowledge to be able to coach effectively in a small group environment, when implemented intelligently it is very efficient and fun as well!

Exploding into this week with some partner med ball chest passes! Pairing this movement with some heavy bench press is a great power development tool as we get closer to football season!
Jumping into this week with some 4-way jump series! Every athlete benefits from these explosive movements. Every session begins with some sort of plyometric/speed work to keep athletes ready for the demands of their sport ๐ช

We warm up with shoes off to make sure the sensory pathways that send information from our feet back up the body are fired up and ready to go. Gotta be ready to be explosive!
The session breakdown before we start serves as a way to get athletes mentally prepared and moving in the same direction. Letโs start off strong this week!
Shout out to the UAP Athlete of the Month for May, Will Redden @WillRedden71 ! "Big Will" has dropped almost 30lbs and is working on his speed and explosiveness. He's going to be a force on the field next year!
