Train For The Extremes, Prepared For The Middle

Train For The Extremes, Prepared For The Middle

Movement is simply going from one position to another

And in order to coordinate your movement you need to have set positions

Start and end positions for a given “cycle”

So that movement can happen between those two positions to get the cycle completed

Being aware of every single point you move through (in the cycle) does not work because of how fast it happens

You need START and END positions

And that’s why position is the basis of movement


——————

Practical application - when throwing for example you cannot put full attention on every single point you go through because of how fast it is

What you do is get certain positions - maybe front foot down is a position for you, and then finish is a position for you

Or if sprinting - one position is left leg max knee flexion, next position is right leg max knee flexion, and you’re simply cycling through those

See what I’m saying

We work with positions

Cause movement happens so fast

That we just focus on switching from position to position and the middle gets filled in based on the two positions we’re working with

Which is why being able to pack into good and clean and efficient positions is so valuable

Gives you a clear start and end point

Making movement (in the middle) more efficient
