Why are “High Knees” making you slow!! 💨😟

https://youtu.be/1DMSs5Wqsgo?si=8b1AUN6P_FbpHW-8

We want to see the following within Front Side mechanics:

⚡️ Squeeze the hips to punch the knee and toes up and forward.

⚡️ Whip the hips to drive and punch foot through the floor.

⚡️ Greater room from foot to floor increases potential to create more force into the floor.

Check out this video over on you tube!

Oh and would sincerely appreciate a follow on there 🙏

Want to become faster then drop us a message about our 6 or 12 week online speed school programs! 💨

Football is getting faster! 💨

A great editorial here highlighting where we could see football in 2030! ⚡️

Are you looking for world class online speed coaching?

Then we have the bespoke, science driven programs that will get you faster.

Manipulating the attractor landscape can provide athletes with better and more effective movement solutions!

Our work is to establish the optimal solutions for movement problems and then guide the athletes attractor landscape towards this optimal strategy!

Considerations;

⚡️Age and Training will dictate how stable the attractor landscape is.

⚡️ Previous Injuries, limited capacities can lead to different attractor landscape being optimised.

⚡️ Skill limited knowledge about movements can lead to shallow unstable attractor landscapes.

By understanding the above provides coaches with further understanding and better interventions to lead to better performance outcomes.

Periodisation is often complicated!

Here is a simple definition to help cut through the noise and assist you in your coaching!

Developing understanding to create simpler forms for understanding.

Why are we still utilising aerobic endurance within team sports 🧐

Studies have demonstrated that sprint interval training (SIT) has improved Vo2 max along with changes in substrate oxidation at rest.

Further, improved glycemic control and insulin sensitivity!

Utilising sprints can improve the aerobic demands that are expected from players.

Effects of sprint interval training on VO2max and aerobic exercise performance: A systematic review and meta‐analysis Recently, several studies have examined whether low-volume sprint interval training (SIT) may improve aerobic and metabolic function. The objective of this study was to systematically review the exis...

Are you looking to improve speed?

Are you looking to move better?

Looking to increase your speed by upto 5mph?

Reduce the risk of ankle, hamstring, adductor and other injuries 👌

Then get in touch today and let’s begin your speed journey with our online speed program!

Since February 21st we gave ourselfs around a month to get over 16mph! 🚀

We did this by focusing on;

⚡️Fundamental element’s

⚡️Increase acceleration mechanics

⚡️ Explore more relaxation in max velocity

Keeping with the basics of toes up - attack the floor - be aggressive.

We have achieved 16.1 with still a couple of weeks left on our goal.

Proving speed is a coachable assest that everyone can improve.

Why we use dowel rods and how to progress intensity!!

Dowel rods are a great tool to increase chaos within the lumbo-pelvic area. Cueing athletes to stack there hips and develop correct posture, positioning and patterning technique.

⚡️ Increased lumbo-pelvic control

⚡️ Increased neural drive

⚡️ Improve leg mechanics

⚡️ Improve posture

Check out this video over on you tube to see how we increase the intensity.

Progressions_Dowel_Rod We use dowel rods to allow athletes to focus on leg mechanics when practising technical elements for accelerations and max velocity.The use of dowel rods inc...

Class session.

It was an absolute pleasure delivering a presentation around the technical demands of speed in football. ⚡️

Thanks Ray Power

Had some amazing feedback and definitely got some of them creative juices flowing!! 🚀

Speed is king but understanding the physical and technical qualities can provide massive value to coaches and help them develop and players physical qualities further. ⚽️

Congratulations to two of The Speed Mechanic athletes who this week won the Totty Cup, Barlow-Salmons/Clarke Shield, Don & Dearne and Pokémon Cup.

Speed kills in all sports! Be at the top of your game with speed training!

Do you work on speed? Watching your child play sport and thinking they move differently? Are you always second to the ball or last in races? 🚀

Fun Fact - SPEED IS A SKILL!! 🤩

Here at The Speed Mechanic we help individuals improve speed through technical and physical development, along with applying the correct amount of stimulus. ⚡

How to coach sprinting? 🧐

It is often a question I get asked and I feel individuals see this as a mind-field of science and empirical claims!

Here is a breakdown of how we coach sprinting to field sport athletes.

⚡️Create compliance with the floor, look at the elasticity and how they tolerate compression in each stride.

Working on Pogos, foot contact drills (A series and Wickets) promoting the Whack and Rip nature required.

⚡️Positioning once we are compliant and elastic with the floor, we want to optimise the correct position and placement of the limbs.

This is the create the best possible force application and expression. This can be done through Dowel walking drills, wall sprints and video feedback.

⚡️ Patterning can the athlete pattern this together in a rythmic fashion, working on build ups and fly ins along with switch drills to create the best patterning.

Overall we continually focus on Posture throughout sessions.

Cueing and coaching from live events.

⚡️ A few weeks apart going from 13.2 mph to 14.4 mph! 🚀

Developing technical elements with acceleration and max velocity along with strengthening important physical qualities! 🤙

The Speed Mechanic program is proven to improve speed get you stronger and change your performance levels! 🙏
