The ALTIS Kinogram Method - Dan Pfaff & Stuart McMillan

Dan Pfaff and Stuart McMillan introduce the Kinogram Method as a tool for coaches to analyze movement and develop their coaching eye.

👀 DEVELOP YOUR COACHING EYE 👀 🎓 One of the most frequent questions we hear from visiting coaches at ALTIS is “How did you develop your ‘coaching eye’?” The answer is really quite simple: We have watched a lot of athletes do stuff, and we paid very close attention while doing so! In the days when iPhones, inexpensive high-speed cameras, biomechanical analysis apps, and wearables did not exist, watching closely was our only option to better understand what was going on. Now that these technologies are available to us, it is imperative that we don’t forget about the importance of developing our “real-time” eye. If we do this correctly, technology can support us through the process. It is with this objective in mind that we offer the following method of analysis that we use at ALTIS in support of our daily coaching. It is called the ALTIS Kinogram Method, and it is based on an analysis system that is more than a century old. ▶️ ALTIS coaches use five frames—three stance phase frames and two flight phase frames—which form the ALTIS Kinogram Method. ▶️ The three stance phase frames are termed “touch-down,” “full-support,” and “toe-off.” The two flight phases are termed “MVP” (maximal vertical projection) and “strike,” which is the initial point at which the swing-leg hamstring is under maximal stretch. 📖 Learn the full method for free with our Ebook: The ALTIS Kinogram Method 🌐 loom.ly/NZyec2w
