"Have you executed a movement with that level of violence and aggression?"
'Not off the field.'
"Okay, do you see an issue?"
This is my all time favorite coaching demonstration of intent with @TheNewAthlete and @WGF1

Why?
Because you see the level up of intent in real time.
You see what an athlete 'thought' was good enough, fast enough, violent enough in one exercise.
Then you see it transformed. You see what they are truly capable of.
Even better you see it with reps. (which again we care so much about repeat sprint ability or conditioning but we don't match game like intensity in training...)
Do you see an issue?
YES.
We need to be teaching intent like a skill.
We can't assume athletes know what we mean.
Everyone 'works hard'.
Few move with intent.
