The b skip - where hamstrings should get loaded... well, but often the poor timing of the drill makes it worthless to teach to football players. Post injury , relearning the sprint cycle can be important for turning off inhibitions and rebooting co-contractions. Static a/b skip is a simple drill that in one session can often increase player confidence, timing and integration of thigh reversal and reactivity”. You don’t need to wait till mid to late stages to work on swing leg retraction. Find a Simple tool to relearn the sprinting cycle (load it with bands or LILA to create a nice stress).

👀Connecting your coaching eye to your clinical reasoning! Observe... the leg cycle of the leg closest to the camera on each drill. Can you see small medium then big elliptical on the right limb and very limited ones on the left? What does limb movement and synergies say about muscle properties and pelvic structure ? Does “technique” matter? Well only if you want to load specific tissues and create protective system tension. We had a really interesting 10.6 sprinter with repeated right side hamstring strains over the past year join our hamstring workshop. UPMC Sports Surgery Clinic 💪🏾Isokinetic tests have him really really strong on both limbs. 🔋Emg told a story of right side dominance and good lateral to medial hamstring balance whilst the left side was far more imbalanced with medial hamstrings dominating action that we assumed the lateral would. 🧐When we went on to the track, we saw similar things. 🚩Notably a reluctance to open up into late swing phase, avoiding long lever eccentric stress on the distal hamstrings…. ON THE LEFT LEG! Well this was noticed across a range of exercises velocities and complexities. 🏃🏾‍♀️ Drills with speed and locomotion, static fast drills as well as static slow drills. 🧐Movement illuminates structural qualities. 🧐Can you spot the difference in these two leg cycles? Could it be that the right side is repeatedly hurt due to the deficit in the left side. After all, if you can’t integrate late swing phase, then you will have poor negative foot speed. You will be able to accelerate…. But all the work will be on the right side the deeper you get into a sprint. Ed Mias Sportsmithshow more

Here is a drill to help you learn what... it feels like to use the ground and start to sequence effectively. Notice how the club is setup in the video between my feet. Get to your back swing and jump favoring your lead foot left and laterally like I am. With that feeling step in and hit one. Not where you are pushing off from when you swing and try and get that into a feeling that makes sense to you. This is how power is created in the golf swing. This is also where physical limitations can show up.show more

Kerry Carpenter working on controlling the back leg with... limited forward movement / being ready to go instantly when he decides to swing from a fully loaded position. Such a sick swing. Proud to see the player he has turned into these last few years. All his hard work has paid off. Some things to take into account. Kerry has always had a great swing. The loading & timing change that he made to start pretty much already loaded with the upper half and weight on his back leg has eliminated slop & extra movement in his swing & created a consistent timing mechanism he can use each time he steps into the box. Now he can just wait longer to read the baseball, decide to swing, & unleash from a fully loaded position.show more

No. It’s not golf training;-). But it will work... for it. The world throws us challenges that require being able to develop and absorb load in rotation. We need to be able to handle that. We need to train rotation. This one trains thoracic rotation. You bend, lift, turn, and place in life often. Picking up a box, turning, and putting it on the counter. Moving mulch or things around the garden. Prepare for life’s challenges. Train rotation.show more

I came across this clip of Carlos Alcaraz doing... this simple but effective drill to help with his ball toss when serving It immediately made me think about how these amazing players in ANY sport don't skip the basics I see it everyday with golf, the recreational golfer isn't willing to do the smallest, most basic things in order to help themselves acheive their goals They say they want one thing but their actions don't show they will achieve it Golfers always want to hit driver as hard as they can, they skip the importance of setting up to the ball correctly, they don't like changing their terrible grip because it "feels weird" Yet the best tennis player on the planet is working on his ball toss in order to ensure he can serve the ball to the best of his abilities It's these 1% efforts that can help you achieve exactly what you want. Don't skip them & when a coach asks you to do them, there's a reason we want you to listen and do them. They are importantshow more

Teams that don’t strike out at a high clip... win more games. Simple as that. This is amplified at the college level — and even more at the high school level and below. Once you get to two strikes, it becomes a team at-bat. Grind it out. Compete your tail off. Choke up, shorten up, widen out, move closer to the plate — whatever helps you execute your two-strike approach. Some call it their “B swing.” Make the pitcher work. We preach “look fastball away and adjust,” but there are plenty of effective two-strike approaches. You have to experiment and find what fits your swing and mindset best. A quality two-strike approach often leads to hard-hit balls. But even when it doesn’t, the defense still has to field it, throw it, and catch it. That’s pressure. A lot tougher to defend than a right turn back to the dugout. #DoingDirtWorkshow more
