LOW MAN WINS ON CONTACT

LOW MAN WINS ON CONTACT
MOBILITY THURSDAY's
Peak Performance is also about how you prepare for a training session, a practice, or a game and how you close it out. Ankle Mobility is important for all athletes, but it is especially important for football players. This approach is grounded in physics, on the premise that low man wins on contact, to get low requires mobility and stability and the ability to apply force in the opposite direction.
The more flexible you are the lower you can get at P.O.C (Point of Contact). Most football players are pretty good at paying attention to their hips and backs, but it’s the ankles (and calves) and feet where a lot of problems start. The body doesn’t work in isolation, it works as a system. It’s a chain reaction, and for every tight ankle, there’s a shin at a the wrong angle, a hip out of alignment, a torso too far forward and missed lift. This equates to missed tackles, getting caught from behind, and missing games due to injury.

7 年Exactly right. The weakest link in the chain will be the first to give in. Tape, strengthen or both? If tape restricts movement, what is the next joint in line...... knee. Was just training a client today using a soft balance beam for strength & balance work preparing for ski season. Use a variety of moving & static holds to assist. Hasn't had a structural injury in 12 yrs playing basketball, trekking & skiing, client is now 50+. Training to suit lifestyle needs & demands. Nice post to raise awareness Chase Jackson.
