Dr Ramus & I are not referring to Athletic Trainers-strength & conditioning coaches and personal trainers are the people that we need to get this trng info to, especially @ the high school and middle school levels. Most of our school workout rooms are equipped and setup for boys sports training, equipment needs for the trng that we do are multiple sizes of plyometric boxes, speed ladders, twelve lb medicine balls, benches, 5lb dumbbells, jump ropes, stairs or steps (calve raises), enough floor area to do core trng, and body vs gravity trng. Luckily for us( the incoming 2011 boys basketball coaching staff @ Friendship Christian School in lebanon which i was apart of ) we had two vertimax machines V-6 models that we brought there. Vertimax"s are widely used out west, Stanford womens volleyball team actually has enough that each player has their own. Many of your larger high schools, most major universities, wnba, nba and nfl teams also. Simply identifying kids that run flatfooted girls & guys would be a start toward evaluating footwork for the novice S & C coaches, I personally use boxes, ladders and vertimax to evaluate footwork & running form & weaknesses. Also want to say that i do like weight trng for both sexes during the off-season stressing proper form and range-of-motion especially for girls making sure to never do movements that require them to lock knees, building short fiber muscles-pre-season is when we lengthen the muscles w/before mentioned trng that Dr Ramus prescibes to build long fiber. Hip-flexor & IT Band stretches is another area overlooked that is included in my wkouts- i even have ankle exercises. You must be strong from the foundation up to play low(feet-ankles-calves-support muscles and ligaments surrounding the knee-inner thigh) i stress inner thigh & hamstring to balance the normally stronger outer muscles. Some of the exercises are sports related by design, (basketball-volleyball-football) mimic movements of sport to build muscle group in synergy. Every wkout starts with 20 mins of core. RealTruth seems like we are on the same page-glad to hear someone that speaks the language Now how do we get this info to high school strength coaches??
