@spikesonly Any cheaper options available for instrumented blocks? Kistler sells them for $100k😳
English
For $600 dollars you can mount an electric reel with battery on a set of blocks. Very smooth adjustable resistance and includes a retraction.
The future is bright for affordable solutions. Expect a massive influx of sports tech companies adjusting to this.

Technique Drills-
Look at the average velocity and total work distance with warming up.
If you are not making progress and are spending too much time doing exercises that strain but are slow you are the problem.
The same can be said for jump training, be very selective.

@barberathletic One of the good guys. Enjoy the greens Hill ⛳️

A legend of Australian Athletics, Craig Hilliard, finishes at AA today after 42 years as a professional coach. Hill gave me my start in coaching and has provided me guidance and support ever since. Thanks for the friendship, jokes and rounds of golf.

Knowing people is less about data than feelings. It is less about what comes through the head than through the heart. It is less about mental intelligence than emotional intelligence. It can’t be taught but can be learned through life experience. Learn fast.

Revisiting running drills – HMMR Media
Running drills can only be considered running drills if they are dynamic in nature. The whole purpose of running drills is to challenge balance, coordination and range of motion - not to take these variables away hmmrmedia.com/2024/09/revisi…

@jaredwright17 Probably the best rugby athlete I had the pleasure of working with. Hoops had it all. Phenomenal speed, power & an incredible engine. Incredible bloke. Never complained and super tough. Well done mate.

Who's building companies designed to reduce ACL injuries for women athletes? Or more broadly, improve medical care (not just research, but action) for women athletes?

I’ve finally managed to put a list together of all the books I’ve purchased over the years …
I’ve been pestered for it over the years ..
The complete list is over 1,550 books in hard copy
I should have it organized by domain in a few weeks.
I’ll post in on my site shortly
Books with Beste@BookswithBeste
I’d recommend coaches at all level to check out books from this stack to read in 2023.

Because #IWD2024 's theme is "Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress", here's one of the areas in need of investment: Women's sports.
With enough investment, in ALL parts, maybe we'll see less ACL injuries.
Until then, here are the numbers in #WOSO 🧵👇

Unleashing your potential requires a look beyond more traditional frameworks to discover blind spots and opportunities in your training!
A BIG shout out to Sarah who has done just that during her current AFLW offseason
Team up with Prepared to Play and optimise for your best!

Fantastic piece by our co-founder Dean Benton on the importance of not having a reductionist approach to training and injury management- this time around the calf complex!

@Stawell_Gift Another very short sighted decision, which will lead to the demise of the Gift. It undermines the fabric & history of the race as well as diminishing its economic viability. These regulations could have easily been adopted without the need of this across the board decision.

In line with the Victoria Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) policy on a ban on betting on all under-19 sports competitions, SGEM advises that wagering will not be conducted at the 2024 Powercor Stawell Gift carnival. More info >> bit.ly/3uXePMc
