Some highlights from recent speed/agility sessions. Simple progressions in here, starting with a large focus on content, before progressing onto more contextual work ⚡️

Some agility work from the other day.

Starting simple.

Increasing complexity as the session progressing.

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

Best football game ever. The best sport in the world. UNBELIEVABLE.

[Sam Julian @_SamJulian]

Heartbreaking 💔

Huge effort from everyone involved.

Heads can be held high after that performance 🌹

[England Rugby @EnglandRugby]

Heartbreak in the final.

CONSTRAINTS-BASED LEARNING 🧠

Emphasis here on punching the knee forward and creating BIG SHAPES.

Simultaneously promoting a lower heel recovery.

[Sam Julian @_SamJulian]

Good couple days spent at the @UKSCA annual conference.

Always tend to leave things like this feeling two ways:

1. Motivated

2. Stupid 😂

Genuinely can’t believe what I’m hearing coming out of @WorcsWarriors. 🤠🤠

[Sam Julian @_SamJulian]

New venture. Appreciate any shares, follows etc. 👍🏼 https://t.co/jkMQiOAGv6

[Sam Julian @_SamJulian]

So sad 😞

[BBC Sport @BBCSport]

Worcester Warriors have been suspended from all competitions after failing to meet a funding ultimatum set by the Rugby Football Union.

The men's team will now be banned from the Premiership and its women's side from the Premier 15s.

💣 ACCELERATION 💣

Love this rep.

😤 Aggressive start ➡️ PROJECTION

✂️ Scissoring thighs ➡️ SWITCHING

🔨 Attacking DOWN AND BACK

🛫 Smooth RISE

[Sam Julian @_SamJulian]

@StuartMcMillan1 @ALTIS @ALTISEdu Yeah, PRESSURE has also been a nice one to use.

[Sam Julian @_SamJulian]

🗣 MOOD WORDS 🗣

A nice take-home from the @ALTIS Need For Speed course.

‘LIFT’ is a personal favourite. Use it regularly when trying to promote front-side mechanics/reduce back-side bias.

@ALTISEdu

[Sam Julian @_SamJulian]

⚡️AGILITY DEV. IN THE GYM⚡️

Jab step regression.

💥 Applying FORCE in the right direction in order to create HORIZONTAL PROJECTION.

💥 Highlights the importance of the TRUNK when changing direction.

🗣 ‘Coil the spring’ ➡️ ‘Release the spring’

[Sam Julian @_SamJulian]

🏉 Rugby Fit 🏉

Used these for a while now, either as a post-session ‘top-up’, or as a way to build capacity during late-stage RTP.

Disassociating the upper/lower body happens all the time in rugby.

Nice way to isolate it here. Harder than it looks. 🥵

[Sam Julian @_SamJulian]

@808wavewarrior Thanks! Hope it helps

[Sam Julian @_SamJulian]

🚨CROSSOVER STEP🚨

Seriously under-coached movement.

Happens all the time in field sports, especially when defending, yet never seems to get the attention that linear acceleration or sprinting does. 🤔

Attempted to make a simple technical model for it 👇

[Sam Julian @_SamJulian]

🥊 JAB STEP 🥊

Attacking scenarios. Good weapon to have. Similar to the crossover, don’t see it coached much.

Attempted to highlight some key coaching points/positions 👇

Incredibly fortunate to have worked with some great movers 🕺
