🔑 Acceleration is all about 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗥𝗵𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗺, 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲! Adding a dowel/stick/hurdle board on the athletes' shoulders removes their ability to 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 with their upper body & places more emphasis on their 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀. WHY IS THIS BENEFICIAL? 🤔 1️⃣ Works on 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Athletes are "forced" to project at a certain magnitude & angle that enables them to reposition their limbs and keep from falling flat on their face. 2️⃣ Enhances 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 It prompts athletes to project through the hips and feel what's going on through their lower body. 3️⃣ Specific 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 As a coaches, it provides you with a specific movement screen, and exposes any asymmetries the athlete may have. 🎓 Check out the ALTIS Need For Speed course for more ways to develop Speed -- diving into the 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧, 𝗪𝗛𝗬 & 𝗛𝗢𝗪 of 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗘𝗗! ⚡ 👉 loom.ly/qD5f6rE P.S.
