Rotational Force Velocity Curve It is common practice for coaches to base their training around the force/velocity curve. We want to train/expose our athletes to various stimulants to create desired adaptations. Relatively easy to plan for when looking at the sagittal plane.

@StrengthDebates Kids sprint from the time they are capable of doing so. So by the time they are in high school their training age of sprinting is much more advanced than resistance training. Once equity is built max attempts can be performed.

If you are constantly training your spine in a state of compression, your spine will adapt to that stress. This can have a negative impact on your ability to bend and rotate. There must be balance in the program. Train to be athletic not a powerlifter.

Step Back Shot Put Throw: I really like this variation to help athletes feel themselves load into their back leg and then over come the force to immediately get off their back side.

1/2 kneel scoop toss is one of my favorite ways to start an athlete with rotational throws. The stance allows for the athlete to feel them rotate their back hip into the there front hip. Too often in a bilateral stance the athletes will have soft front side and the hips will leak
