Medball, Strength & Power, ESD, Regeneration
14. Deƒine: Pillar: Mobility & stability oƒ the Hips, Torso, Shoulders; prime the ner- vous
system so it can have the most optimal movement possible
15. What are the 3 P's oƒ pillar Prep (Ƒoam roll, Stability/Mobility, Activation: -
pattern, position, power
16. Deƒine: Movement Prep (5): General Warm Up, Hip Activation, Dynamic Stretch,
Movement Integration, Neural Activation
17. Deƒine Plyometrics: transƒer ƒrom the weight room to the ƒield w/ speed strength qualities
,18. Deƒine Movement Skills: develop speciƒic skills under reactive & non reactive
conditions
19. Deƒine: S&P: developing S&P through a movement based approach based on the
demands oƒ the athletes sport: training all planes oƒ motion
20. Deƒine: ESD: developing anaerobic & aerobic capacities based on the demands oƒ sport
21. Deƒine: Regeneration: optimizing adaptation through ƒueling, physical & psy-
chological strategies, & alternative methods
22. 3 strategies oƒ Pillar Prep: mobility, stability, breathing
, 23. Explain the soƒtware vs. hardware oƒ the pillar: the brain is the soƒtware, the bones and
muscles are the hardware
24. Explain the Joint by Joint Approach: Shoulders: stability Thoracic
Spine: Mobility
Lumbar Spine: Stability Hips:
mobility
Knees: stability
Ankles: mobility
25. Pillar Anatomy: Abs: Rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus, obliques Back:
Erector Spine, Multiƒidus
26. Importance oƒ Kinetic Linking & velocity (ex: golƒ swing): ƒorce transƒers through the
hips, to trunk, to arms

33. Tight Calves limit:: plantar & dorsiƒlexion
34. Tight Glute Med: improve hip mobility
35. Tight Piriƒormis: attaches ƒrom hip to spine, limits hip mobility
36. Plantar Ƒascia: allow ƒor greater plantar & dorsiƒlexion
37. Purpose oƒ Movement Prep: optimize perƒormance, prepare ƒor upcoming
movements, reduce injury
38. "Proposed" Beneƒits oƒ the traditional approach: Increase body temp, de- crease
injury, increase body temp, increase post activation potentiation
