is power a direct or indirect method for ESD - CORRECT ANSWER -both!
Direct=meter on a bike
Indirect = time to complete task
Creates a goal for next week -
Circuits - # of rounds completed
The drill is the coach- athlete decides - ownership
Goals
Short term E system: 10 secs get 50 ft
lateral bound double contact quick stick - CORRECT ANSWER -most important movement prep for
shuffling
acceleration - CORRECT ANSWER -0-20
change in velocity / change in time - CORRECT ANSWER -acceleration
Body weight x acceleration - CORRECT ANSWER -
force (how much F is needed if an athlete needs to go x speed)
speed endurance - CORRECT ANSWER -> 40 yds
