Study Notes
Scenario 1
- Athletes need help with acceleration, deceleration, and rate of force development
- Exercises include: kneeling overhead medicine ball throw, rotating medicine ball slam, linear acceleration into deceleration stops
Scenario 2
- Athletes need help with transition into acceleration over 5 meters and improving jump ability
- Exercises: alternate leg bounds, hurdle jumps, side shuffles into acceleration
Scenario 3
- Athletes require acceleration from varied start positions
- Goal is to improve jump ability and initial acceleration
- Exercises not specified in this scenario
Scenario 4
- Helping athletes improve ability to turn and reaccelerate
- Exercises include: box to box jump, counter movement jump, linear acceleration bilateral, linear acceleration 180
- Exercises and drills to improve turning abilities are needed
Scenario 5
- Athletes need to address issues in running technique for improved maximum running speed
- Exercises: tuck jump, drop jump, ankle jumps, skips
Scenario 6
- Athletes require improved change of direction ability
- Drills to improve change of direction are needed
- Exercises include: split jump, lateral bound, outside of foot cut
