Reactive Change of Direction Day. Coaches and Athletes plan your days out before you show up to the gym. Each section of the training day should build on the previous exercise or portion. We need to send a consistent training stimulus to our athletes. Trying to train to many qualities in a single session only confuses your athletes system. If you want to change direction better focus on just that for a day. The session today began with soft tissue mobility work, a specific joint warmup, dynamic movement, CNS activation, deceleration technique, acceleration technique, transition work, and finished with visual reactive training. You can see from the video all steps were in order leading up to a final two man race drill which was started by me pointing to the direction of first movement. The final drill puts all the pieces together: visual reaction, deceleration, transition, and acceleration. The focus of the day: Reactive Change of Direction. Quality reps were the focus. Athletes were given rest between reps. Try not to train athlete for quality while they are completely bagged. #haveapurposeplan #team2sp
