Force Development

Instead of following tradition and doing the same standard protocol, we strive to find the missing pieces for the individual’s training puzzle. When looking at force development, we take into consideration the athlete’s potential and expression:

• Force Potential= Maximal amount of force an athlete can exhibit dependent on physiological abilities
• Force Expression= More complex & is the amount of force an individual can express in dynamic skillful actions with time constraints 

 
Both should be strategically trained in an athlete’s program. If the individual is lacking in force potential, then his or her ability to express will be limited. This is why the weight room can be highly beneficial for a developmental athlete. We organize this part of our force training into three different categories:
1. Production

• Overcoming strategies
• Examples: Squat, press & deadlift patterns

2. Acceptance

• Yielding strategies 
• Examples: Depth drop & “fake” throwing patterns

3. Transmission 

• Elastic strategies 
• Examples: Extensive & intensive plyometrics
