We want longer ground contact times (GCT) in initial acceleration mechanics!! To manage this we want athletes to increase there frequency in order to apply adequate force to reach maximum velocity. I don’t agree with an increase in stride length at this point as this will reduce the frequency and GCT!!

Skill Acquisition Framework👇 https://lnkd.in/enkGrKP2 Can we utilise a framework for skill acquisition? Here the researchers have done this providing a clear structure of developing session intentions and practise design. Using a constraint led approach we can create environments that provide adequate learning opportunities for players along with increase dexterity. When I witness training sessions I often witness coaches providing a one dimensional approach to a complex game. Providing there players with very little in affordances. “It’s like a plumber attending every job with a hammer” 🔨 Next coaching session try and plan using the skill acquisition framework!

Players complete over 90 + accelerations per game more or less 1 per minute. Accelerations occur in the most important events of game play goal scoring and preventing. Here is a contextual 2 v 2 game that encourage players to acceleration and then face an attacking/defending situation. https://lnkd.in/eQYPkp9a
