Half Kneeling DB Side Bend. I love anything that challenges lateral flexion of the spine, and it’s hard to find exercises that do it effectively. Been playing around with this one lately. Cues: .- Tall chest.- Drop your ear to the floor .- Move away from opposite hand on hip

Overloaded Eccentric Band Walkouts. Try to stay out of the traps. Target rotator cuff and scraps here. Stabilize until you feel like you’re compensating elsewhere or you can’t hold your arms apart anymore. Low impact, high intensity exercise for the rear shoulder

College summer off season is underway! Call me typical but I still love hammering eccentric work the first few weeks of an off season. Here’s a fun one:.1A. Eccentric SSB RFESS.1B. Split Stance Depth Drop. Depth drop variations stay in the program all off season, just get higher

Simple, effective. Reaction and curved run. You control the angles and stimulus you want them to hit. As long as you make it fun and competitive, the intent will drive the results.

PREACH THAT.
HS kids can handle more volume than most think. Everyone is comparing to top-level guys. We deal w/ the avg. They need more reps to progress especially in weaknesses. Work capacity is the most important quality to start with. Build GPP = Ability to handle more work = Better Gains.

THIS. Just got done talking to another coach about how force output is force output. It’s not specific to a certain plane. If you’re driving a car 30 MPH, whether you’re turning, moving forward, or moving backwards, you’re still going 30 MPH. It’s all about efficiency.
Stop posting things that increase “rotational power” because it doesn’t exist.

ALL ATHLETES ROTATE. You’re missing the mark if you only have your baseball and softball players rotating in training. Every athlete would benefit from training spinal rotation, flexion, extension, and lateral flexion. Especially through/around a fixed frontside hip.

The bird dog row. For a while I thought this exercise had too much going on to be super effective. For some athletes, that’s the case. But if your athlete can properly fire the glute, brace the trunk, and focus on scap control through the row like this athlete, I love this one.

EASIEST WAY TO TEST READINESS. 1. Grip Strength - dynamometers are cheap and easy to use. If an athlete is more than 20% down, you know there’s some muscular or neural fatigue going on. 2. Vertical - jump mats are great but if u know the athlete, I find the eye test can be better.

Get athletes out of their comfort zone. I’m all for speed testing from stationary starting positions. We do it multiple times a week. But if you don’t train athletes how to reach those speeds with some kind of constraint in play, you’re not properly preparing them for sport
