Once an athlete demonstrates prerequisite strength, we start various deceleration drills. Once they can effectively pump their breaks, we add an acceleration component to make the drill a true change of direction task. From there, you can add reactive, neurocognitive, or “sport-specific” components to further challenge your athlete. 🚨 NEW BLOG 🚨 What is the ACL and Why is it Important? ‼️ Short on equipment or space? Here is an easy drill to work on lateral agility - all you need is two people and two tennis balls! Happy Thanksgiving to our amazing clients and team! Thankful for all who have supported us over the past few year!! Sprinting into Turkey Day like… 🦃 We know that patients demonstrate better carryover/retention of motor learning when there is an external focus of attention. This means that an athlete is more likely to retain a motor pattern when variables of a specific exercise have been manipulated to drive a certain outcome. We know that following ACL injury, the brain re-weights vision and conscious cognition when processing sensory information and creating motor outputs. In order to combat this compensation at the level of the brain, we must systematically progress focus of attention during exercise. We all know that deceleration is paramount to change of direction and sporting participation. Here are three drills we like to use to work on an athletes brakes with minimal equipment. Friendly reminder for all NEW athletes to bring signed consent forms and energy tomorrow!! Let’s get after it!
