We all know sport is reactive. The best way to get ready for sport is creating a safe and controlled environment that works on the athletes reaction (time, space, competition). - **We should be practicing social distancing** - Before building up to reaction drills I like to build the foundation with non reaction drills. - Here is some simple non-reaction drills I like using when teaching change of direction. - 1??Shuffle to stick 2??Shuffle to cut 3??Shuffle to Sprint 4??Shuffle to drop step sprint - *all drills was performed with proper warm up before hand.* - Lets stay active team - #teamla #uclahealth #uclasport #teamexos #changeofdirection #deceleration

If you missed today’s movement session. We worked on top speed. Here is a few drills I like to use to help top speed. - Posture, pattern, power - Straight leg shuffle: fast and broad. This allows the athlete/client to understand ground contact. This is important to top speed, hamstring injuries come from over stride which exposes the hamstring. - Step over the ankle, shin,and knee drill. This drill brings out the cyclical movement during top speed. - Put them all together you should feel like “floating on clouds”. - #movement #topspeed #sprint #hometeam #ucla #uclahealth #teamexos

If you missed the 3pm movement session, here is a snippet of what we did. - Today we focused on plyos and acceleration ?? - “Posture, pattern, and power” - Wall drills help with posture and pattern. Learning how to that core engage and allow the movement to come from hips. Also putting us in that 45 degree angle we need for our drive phase. - I also did a lot of marching, skips, bounds (not recorded) working on the pattern for acceleration. - We can deep dive into acceleration but to keep it short and sweet, lets focus: - 45 degree angle (shins/body) - Neutral spine - Piston action (knee drive) - arm swing - low heel recovery - Drills that I find helpful with teaching athletes on how to get in the angles: - Half kneeling starts - falling starts - push up starts ?????‍?? #acceleration #drivephase #sprinters #inglewood #fasttwitch #uclahealth #sportsperformance #letsgetbetter #hometeam #teamla #run #gocrazy #stayathomeworkout
