Mikes Toeboard Drills

[littlebutterfly2]

Hey Kidz...Coach Mac calling: you both have ( chin/shoulder TRIGGERS ) These are triggering the movement VERSUS turning the rt-foot-knee-HIP ! Try HOLDING a focal target at the back LIFT the bent left leg and POP it down causing a BIG BLOCK - Good luck

Funny, how I'm hearing the SAME THING from you and Mike!

Hold a focal point in the back, rotate the right leg under and STOMP! Errr...block.

Gee.

...allowing you to pop the hip faster, harder, and most importantly through a greater range of motion...all adding up to more distance. You are really close to implementing the full reverse into throws. Thanks for the shout out!

Love the "Pop the Brat"! You look exponentially more explosive. One tip here, let that left foot be your zeitgeiber , a little german for ya haha. What i mean is, let that left foot stomp be the triggering device for your explosion, the weight doesn't just transfer, you MAKE it transfer with the heel stomp. In the footage, you left heel never touches the ground, if you can get it to stomp first, you will get on top of your left leg faster, which will unweight your right leg and hip faster...

Bethany actually told me at the end, after some throws that we didn't video, that the harder I "stomped" the left foot, the harder I "popped the brat". Stomp -> acceleration. I tried it, and she was right.

On youtube, search "Olsen Standing Throw" (for some reason it won't let me link it here) this is a great example of the "open, pull in and around" I'm talking about.

Ooh, wow...that's beautiful. He leading foot is clean off the ground and he stomps it down and gets kickbutt acceleration. SWEET.

2nd position: Very good emphasis on the stomp, that generates a lot of the lift in the throw and transfers weight off of the right leg so the hip can come through faster and more effectively. I might consider changing the "clear" to "open and close" Open wide, eyes still back, with the left hand, then grab an imaginary handle connected to a one arm cable row apparatus above your head. the hips come through, then, pull it fast and hard into the block, creating action-reaction whip of right

Awesome footage Alan! First position toeboard (esp 2nd attempt) drill looks great. Very nice hip action. Bethany, you've got an extra 3 feet hiding just in the toeboard drill! Stop the left side so it doesn't counter rotate, pull the left arm in to get the action-reaction of the right arm extending out beyond, in other words put more into the stone, follow through with only your right side and stop the left. leftinstead o
