Instinct Performance

01/18/2023

Last off-season we set out on a mission to raise 5000.00$ for those at risk for homelessness & poverty.

• Our goal was to provide 500+ hot meals to families who need them most. Thanks to you, we succeeded. We also set out to provide 100+ nights of shelter provided for single moms going through the rehab/drug addiction process with their children. Thanks to you, we succeeded.

No matter how tough sport and life get, take a step back and look at the lottery you hit. Born in a first world country. Yup. Renowned education systems. Yup. Running water and high quality food. Yup.

Give thanks as you hustle and motivate. I appreciate you all, let’s keep rolling!!

Speed should be simple from the athlete's perspective yet complex from the coaches, especially during high-velocity, instinctive movement patterns.  

My 🔑's when taking an athlete through a session:

•Apply forces to the ground with optimal ratios (e.g., horizontal vs vertical).
• Optimize centre of mass displacement.
•Optimize internal pressures.

Then I tell the athlete:

If I'm chasing a lion in the jungle and haven't eaten for days, I am not trying to think about heel recovery, ground reaction forces, and front-side mechanics. I'm thinking, "you got no chance, mf****er."

We don't do it for recognition. However, excellence is the standard, and our crew was pretty damn close. One of my favourite quotes from a former Navy Seal:

• Excellence is never an accident; it results from high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful ex*****on, and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities •

Happy Canada Day, EH 🇨🇦

I remember this dude walking into the gym in grade 9 weighing a buck fifty MAX. Now he’s representing his country and heading off to college next year.

Keep working my dude 🔝🔜

A lot of quality positions being hit here by MLB’s Byron Buxton👇🏽

1. Notice his short, choppy shuffles due to the uncertainty of an unpredictable stimulus (eg., low line drive to OF where base runner isn’t sure if the ball will be caught). If shuffles become too large or airtime is too long, the consequence can be the difference between safe and out by a matter of inches.

2. Notice how he shifts his centre of mass appropriately so forces can be applied to the ground at optimal angles and in a timely fashion (see video).

Train with purpose and detail, but let instincts take over when it’s time to shine.
