My g wrap

Did not expect the step on this one 😂

4 times in a row is not bad 😂

To be fair, was the first reactive defence drill post-op ACL reco for the defender

But still, pretty impressive step on a 10 yr old !!

It’s easy to show the sexy stuff on socials.

The athletes who’ve been with us long term, who’ve had a lot more time to practice these drills making them look crisp. Because let’s face it, that’s what gets the views

But I want to post a lot more of this stuff, the not so sexy stuff, so people can get an idea of the work and time it takes to get our athletes (particularly young athletes) to a point where they make these drills look smooth

This was the first running tech session with this young man. Got a lot more work to do but he’ll nail this drill in a few weeks. Never ceases to amaze me how some athletes will pick up certain drills in a heartbeat, and other drills they find much more challenging. Can be especially challenging in group scenarios where two athletes might be at a very similar level, but the instructions and the cuing may have to differ a lot between them to get a feel for the drill.

I guess that’s the art of coaching.

Consequences of a lack of knee flexion in the swing phase ⬇️

1️⃣ Swing leg moves much slower through the air:
E.g. A straighter leg is harder and slower to swing forward than a bent leg, like swinging a long stick instead of a short one. So slower leg speed = slower running.

2️⃣ Overstriding

With a lack of knee flexion, the foot lands too far in front of the body (overstriding), with acts as a braking force with every step

4️⃣ Reduced elastic energy utilisation
Being able to fully flex the knee then extend it later in the swing phase involves a storage and release of elastic energy. Without sufficient knee flexion, you’re unable to store elastic energy efficiently and therefore less able to punch the leg back into the ground on initial contact

5️⃣ Increased eccentric demand on the hamstrings
Basically increases the demand of the hamstrings to slow down the leg given it’s in a much straighter position throughout the swing phase - can result in a higher hamstring injury risk

6️⃣ Increased hip flexor workload
The hip is basically over compensating for the lack of knee flexion - can result in a higher risk of hip injury

This is super common post-op ACL and can be very persistent. Not only can it increase injury risk, but I can majorly slow you down due to the inefficient mechanics it causes during acceleration
