Speed is critical for most athletes and will often separate those that train from those that deliver. Consequently, speed elements appear in most training cycles. This one-day workshop will arm you with the science, observational skill and coach-ability of key acceleration, maximal velocity and plyometric methods that you can immediately use with a range of athletes.

 

 

 

 

Content:

• The science of speed
• The science underpinning plyometric methods of training
• Practical coaching of a progressive range of plyometric exercises
• Understand key acceleration and maximal velocity characteristics in sport not just track!
• Acceleration characteristics – observation skill and drills
• Constant velocity running – observational skill and drills
• Safety considerations for plyometrics, acceleration and constant velocity running

Coaches will be able to:

• Effectively demonstrate a range of progressive plyometric exercises
• Observe dysfunctional movements within plyometric exercises
• Develop coaching strategies to improve the performance of athletes training at different levels of plyometric activity.
• Demonstrate a range of acceleration exercises
• Observe gross dysfunctional aspects of acceleration and have coaching strategies and drills to aid performance.
• Demonstrate key characteristics of constant velocity running
• Observe gross dysfunctional aspects of constant velocity running and have coaching strategies and drills to aid performance.
• Tailor plyometric, acceleration and constant speed running drills to a range of athletes and abilities.
