Pretension and Sequencing for optimal co-contractions. How to re-educate your hinging, to quiet your tendons whinging? It’s all in the setup! @CTsportsci Does movement even matter?

Self organisation is for LAZY coaches! Elite coaches should verbalise all of the nuances of detail to maximise the performance of their athletes. Video analysis should provide you with all of the granular data so that you can make minute analysis and provide the most specific cues for each step in the sprint. 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥 At the end of last the summer I reached to @FransBoschBook to bug him on all things sprinting. It’s been 3/4 years since we had spoken last so it was very refreshing to talk about what I had been witnessing whilst analysing footballers. Somethings that I learnt from him over a decade ago and have consistently used to maximise speed skills. 1) “take the arms out of the running cycle and the body will need to self organise in order to avoid over rotation and thus keep the abdominals in the sweet spot” 2) “Run bouncy with excellent co contractions between hip, knee and ankle will keep the hamstring in the sweet spot, reducing strain” 3) “Stabilise running technique by clarifying how to PROJECT , SWITCH AND REACT (PSR) over increasing amounts of velocity, vectors and variations of instability” 🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬🔬 I took the concept of PSR directly from the heuristics of @PfaffSC 15 years ago. A man who gives and gives and gives and gives some more. Dan let me bug him for months, write my thesis on him, then I got to stalk him daily for 3 years in the build up to the 2012 Olympics. Coaching the PSR pillers became a very helpful way of reducing the clutter of technical jargon and degrees of freedom. It focused my coaching eye and created a shared language for athletes, therapists and non technical coaches. ⚽️🏉🏈🏟️🥅🎾🏏🏐🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏾🏃🏽‍♂️ 3 years ago I started working with @coachrgrubbs before he joined the NFL. Ryan and I put our heads together to create a system that would reduce the friction for coaches wanting to coach more efficient movement . We downloaded our brains in to a range of decision trees and algorithms and then began to support teams through our joint venture @SpeedSolutions_ We provide a unique macroscopic analysis of intense game actions (acceleration, deceleration , change of direction and max velocity). All data is visualised and compared athletes of a similar level within our data base. We have stood on the shoulders of great academic work of @R_Nagahara @HelenBayneZA @wildy_jj and @KenClarkSpeed and then layered in our experiences coaching the best athletes and players from around the world. 🤳🎥👾💻🖥️🧑‍💻📉📊📈 @vuemotion provide us with the data and @SpeedSolutions_ provides us with the insight. Self organisation is a concept built for lazy coaches like me. Measure what matters. Coach the PSR PILLERS Design a training environment that challenges skill stability. Then Measure again. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕 This was longer than I planned (I am sick stuck in bed) , so well done if you made it this far. Drop me a question video analysis using, lazy coaching or building Olympic level Speed Skills.

Something here to digest on COD METRICS. Heavily influenced by @DHMov The how, what and why behind the movements the matter. @SpeedSolutions_

🚨 @SpeedSolutions_ is live! 🚨 @coachrgrubbs and I have partnered to bring you a full circle Solution for Speed testing ,Technical analysis and Programming. Open your Coaching eye, to create Confidence in your Coaching!

Front side mechanics are needed to prepare for sharp impulses. Back side mechanics are needed to orientate forces and prepare for next step. Enough contact distance to orientate large forces appropriately in little time. That’s it. @KenClarkSpeed
