Athletes trained to "brace the core" 24/7 often show up with high resting heart rates.
The diaphragm isn't just for breathing — it's one of the body's primary pumps.
One of Many Cost of Bracing

Hip thrust with band resistance within a speed training block, while incorporating staggered feet. Powerful athletic movements start from the ground up, however the hips are a crucial piece to the puzzle. This exercise includes having the foot position in the way we perform.

New advances to the GOAT drill are explained here. By far one of the best drills for enhancing performance through different sensory input and stimuli for increased skill development

Walking 🚶♀️patterns can help diagnosis different types of neuro-degenerative conditions. What could that mean for performance? @TFConsortium @korfist @XLATHLETE @CoachSteiny @CoachFortney @Coach_Rathke

Speed Practice Proposal⚡️🏃
- Work on Speed right after your warm-up
- Workout Duration should be 8-12 minutes
- 1-2min rest b/w reps
- Dont use balls until last rep (it slows players down)
- Speed Training is different than Conditioning

Sometimes timing is just as important to train as anything else, especially when you haven’t run much @TFConsortium @pntrack @XLATHLETE @WGF1

Tempo training is a hallmark feature for any program I write. Below is a quick reference chart for benefits of eccentric & isometric applications.

"I began to realise that athletes may not need a particular block of training but I put people through it anyway because that's what we do. ITS ON THE SHEET!"

"When I see problems with running mechanics with non sprinting athletes, I won't coach running form because I want to see if I can fix them in the weightroom withouth coaching them on the field or track"

So what is it?
2-3 weeks of eccentric focused training
⬇
2 weeks of isometric focused training

Interested in how @WGF1 has incorporated the vestibular and visual systems into training to enhance recovery? Follow the link to see the most recent manual release:

A compromised vestibular system can create a faulty vision correspondence while in motion. Why train it? 1. See clearly while moving 2. Where am I with gravity 3. Speed of movement. Hmmmmm - probably should add it @TFConsortium @coachbdixon #retweet @XLATHLETE @RPR_system

Exercise: Oscillation Band Chest Press
This is one of many exercises we built into the end of an 8-wk cycle to peak an athlete for an upcoming event. We created this plan off of the amazing work that @XLATHLETE has done w/ his Triphasic model.

"I watched one of the best rebounders in the Bog Ten doing a rebounding drill for maybe 2 minutes, and his heels never touched the ground. This guy is jumping on his toes the whole time. 8 years ago I started doing supramaximal loading with a floating heel..."
