Can We Change Technique?Should We?


10/39

Many coaches don't believe in "technical"

training for movement.

1. Just get strong and explosive because

technique training is a waste of time

2. Just do the drills fast and athletes figure it

out

Motor Control

More than one motor strategy may work

depending on the constraints

Teach them important pieces

Let them apply and find the strategy

Concentric: propulsion

Eccentric: deceleration and SSC

Small Time

Movement contact times ranging from 100 -

450 msec.

Rate of Force Development & Reactive

strength for good SSC


25/39

Biomechanical Keys

Proper Direction

Force vectors for concentric and eccentric

actions

Core and lower limb stability is critical forapply forces in proper direction

Optimal Range of Motion

Not maximal. In some cases a shorter rangeis often better so the athlete can react and

apply forces quickly


26/39

Exercise Types

Technical exercises emphasizingdevelopment of discrete motor skills Part and Whole

Training exercises focusing on developmentof specific activation, neuromuscular andstrength qualities

Applied an open or closed application of skillthat is often sport specific

Execution


28/39

Execution

Do it right

Coach it

Correct errors appropriately

Make every moment count

Mindful training improves performance

Engage the athlete

The Challenge


30/39

The Challenge

Train a group of diverse athletessimultaneously

Different sports and seasons

Male and female

Experienced training and in-experienced

Individual strength, weaknesses, Injury histories

Provide instruction to meet individual needs

Provide a safe and effective training stimulus Make them feel like they got personal attention

When you can do this, you are a COACH

Coaching Innovation

Charles von Commenee, head coach ofBritish Athletics

"I see coaching as the greatest innovation. Today is different

than yesterday. The athletes that you work with are different

than yesterday so I have to make unique decisions every

day; I have to improvise, adjust and be creative. That is the

biggest innovation it's not a new spike, or tighter pants, or

attaching the bib number to the body with less aerodynamicresistance. That's why in the future the coach will never be

replaced by a robot."

10 for 10

Most coaches gives examples of their

successes. 2 - 3 athletes that it fit

Athletes 4 - 5 require different training

based on injury Hx or training Hx

Athletes 7 and 8 need to buy in to you and

your plan

Athlete 9 buys it, but it just isn't working

Athlete 10 needs to look inside and decide

Planning

Great Coaches plan their sessions and review

them after

Coaching is more than the plan

You can't coach by blindly following a sheet

Recognize when you need to change the plan
