At the U of Strength our goal isn’t building the strongest or fastest athlete, it’s creating the most resilient athlete. With early specialization and the playing of sport year-round, there’s an extreme amount of stress placed on the athlete’s system. Most young females’ athletes naturally cannot handle that workload. This is why we’re seeing a high rate of non-contact and overuse injuries, like soft tissue tears and stress fractures.
Force Acceptance This is addressed with speed, power & strength movements. Depending on the time of year and training level will determine the emphasis: ▪Deceleration Mechanics (Speed/Change of Direction) - Closed and Open Skill Drills ▪Landing Technique (Jumps) - Drop Jumps/ Bounds/ Hops - Depth Drops/ Altitude Landings - Single Response Movements w/ Stick ▪Eccentric Phase (Strength Exercises) - Slow to Moderate Tempo (Descending Phase) Early on we focus on force absorption, we improve an athlete’s breaks before their engine. If sequenced properly, an athlete will be able to safely absorb and then efficiently re-produce force. This will lead to greater power output potential and decrease in non-contact related injuries.
