Do you ever wonder what videos can all be used for? How about continually training and reminding employees how to use a rather complex form? This example video I created is for bus drivers working public transit in Las Vegas. It runs every so often in their drivers’ lounge so that some drivers may watch it. All fixed route bus drivers across the country use a form, called a “paddle”, that includes all the places they need to drive to and by what time. It also directs them the time to start their work shift, how many hours they work, and more. https://lnkd.in/gpsGT6GH

Unpredictable wait times apply to idling. Whenever an item that is worked on gets placed on a queue for someone else to pick it up, that creates an idling situation -- we are waiting for the item to get picked up. No one in the world can possibly know how long this idling will take. Why? Because other people are busy with their tasks, and it is unrealistic to expect them to drop whatever they are working on just so that they could promptly attend to our needs. On the other hand, if the team has mastered the Continuous Delivery discipline, that means they are deploying/releasing many times per day. In that situation, asking how much time it is going to take is superfluous. We know that the team is reliably and predictably releasing frequently, therefore just leave them alone to do their work. No use in interrupting them to repeatedly ask, like little annoying children, "are we there yet?"

THURSDAY TRACK WALK.. !   In a world where EVERYONE is distracted, don't be that driver.   Instead, be the driver who is committed and disciplined to their profession. If you do this, it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to lose.   I see so many formula drivers are film Instagram stories during their track walks, instead of paying attention in-full, and asking themselves "What do I need to be looking for here"   If this is you, it shows to me that you have a lack of commitment and discipline to your profession, and it's the difference between good and great.   The track walk is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT steps to learning a new track or analyzing the track for the first time. There are SO MANY DETAILS that you need to pay attention to during the track walk.   This is not a time to switch off and enjoy a leisurely walk! Some things you need to look out for are: - Elevations - Cambers - Kerbs - Run offs - Track surface - Pit lane - and more..!

Speed is crucial in fast bowling, but what truly defines "fast"? How important is sprint speed over a 40-meter distance for bowlers who typically run 20-30 meters into their delivery stride? Additionally, how valuable is a quick burst of acceleration if the bowler struggles to maintain maximum velocity through their approach? When it comes to developing faster, stronger bowlers, the focus must shift towards understanding the factors that contribute to speed during the run-up and delivery. Maximising speed entails more than just reaching top velocity; it involves optimizing performance components. Utilizing tools like the 1080 Sprint system with minimal resistance can help analyze crucial aspects such as force and velocity markers, movement asymmetries, and acceleration patterns through the run-up. Identifying each bowler's limitations is key to effective speed development. PaceLab emphasizes the importance of addressing individual constraints, whether they stem from force, power, or coordination issues. Tailoring training programs based on these limitations is essential. For bowlers lacking power, incorporating heavy resisted runs can aid in boosting acceleration. On the other hand, assisting sprinting drills can benefit those who struggle to reach or sustain top speed, enhancing overall velocity. PaceLab's approach focuses on providing stimuli to enhance speed improvement through methods like assisted sprints. By training the brain to adapt to higher speeds, bowlers can experience significant enhancements in their performance. This adaptive process plays a vital role in fast bowling, where linear speed principles like force application and coordination are crucial. Resisted and assisted sprinting drills contribute to developing faster and more explosive bowlers by refining these fundamental components. #pacelab #runup #speed #pacelabprinciples #1080 #cricket

Conflict between attractors When one attractor is performed with high intensity the subsequent attractor becomes under pressure and risks becoming less stable. This limits how they can interact In a high intensity skill like fast bowling each key node will have to be based on a single attractor. Due to the pressure of time, switching between attractors that are structured differently will lead to excessive load on the system and lead to technical flaws and potential injury The transition between one and the other is where the body is at its most vulnerable. ‘Transitioning between two stable phases requires a high level of dynamic control and can be used to indicate an athlete’s movement ‘stability’. @harrysimington Rotation before extension is one such conflict Front foot contact should be performed after rotation around the hip. Front side extension will not happen without rear side hip internal rotation. This conflict is prevalent around the world with most fast bowlers. This is due essentially, to the lack of stiffness and reactivity (crossed extensor reflex) on Back foot contact (BFC) and an over emphasis on fast bowling being a ‘side on-skill’. We are not crabs; we can’t move with our pelvis being side on. Too complete the skill will require movement somewhere else as different patterns conflict with each other This conflict happens mainly in knee dominant bowlers who land sideways needing a greater range of hip internal rotation. Remember it only takes 0.30-0.40secs for the legs to switch in the air and the front leg contacting the ground. There is a lack of time to fully open the pelvis. This is why this conflict occurs. Muscles are so far away from their optimum length they simply can’t function correctly To tolerate the instability in the system the body finds a protective way to cope with the unstable environment . What happens is the leg simply rolls forward and the bowlers just folds and keep running. It’s dividing the breaking ability over more than one step. It’s divided over multiple steps. The body wants small ranges over multiple joints as opposed to one large range over one joint. #attractors #conflicts #pacelab
