Joe I love this series, I'm training to be a PT at 37 years old and no one even established trainers with big reps in my city do anything like this they just do the ladder stuff etc. Can't wait to apply this kind of knowledge great series thank you man

Awesome! Glad I could be of some help.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! No one seems to understand that traditional "reactive agility" drills with cones and ladders are complete BS. Perception of information in our environment and the results affordance-action coupling drives our movements! When you remove sports-specific environmental stimuli, you are training the athletes to learn irrelevant skills based on non-specific stimulus (like cones), and as a result it will not transfer onto the field. Playing small-sided games and manipulating the constraints of these games/scrimmages is a much more effective way to develop "reactive agility" that will improve performance in games.

Walter Payton, Barry Sanders & Marshall Faulk all three played basketball to work on their moves. My HS football coach told me to play B-Ball in order to work on my instincts as a RB. That cross over move helped me a lot. Salute!

Love the eccentric phasing on the split squats. Certainly fires up the fast twitch fibers.

Solid info. Thank you.

Good stuff - thumbs up!

It Do help. It Trains the fast twitch fiber. It help me get my feet off the ground and change direction quicker to get a step ahead of my opponents. Every inch count.

Top notch info!!✌️

Thanks Joe I have listened to all your pod casts over the last few years and can't tell you how much I appreciate your knowledge. I'm all the way over in New Zealand and with your help my athletes are dominating national and internationaly in there givin sports Thanks again brotha.

Great vid. Agility training should always be in reaction to a stimulus that is not pre determined. Memorising a set of movements does nothing after getting a solid base in movement patterns.

When i work on those , i make a clear différence between agility and reactivity

Brilliant

Genius!

I play tag and builders and bulldozers with my players! Ladders are a dance...rehearsed dance.

Isn't it amazing how long ineffective techniques persist? Even in the age of the internet, people keep doing the same stupid shit. Every high school, collegiate, and pro team should check this video out and stop wasting their efforts.

Fuck man excellent information

This video reminds me again what a phenom barry sanders was...his ankles were made of rubber smh

Could heavier, slower prowler or farmers walk replace split squat for players under college varsity level. Due to limited time and physical foundation, two days game day, one day upper one day lower are usually the schedule for me. Wanting to use squat+ prowler/sled + hamstring focused exercise to say, gain strength, conditioning, posterior balances but at the same time sort of improve unilateral. I tried stepping on lacrosse ball last night after game (from another video), usually my feet hurts walking around for a while but this time it was a quick relief afterwards. Thanks Joe

Replacing the split squat with prowler/sled work would not produce the effect that Joe is describing in this video. The emphasis is less on the type of movement and more about the type of contraction it achieves. Sled/prowler work is almost entirely concentric based and it does have applications (especially with GPP for younger athletes), but in this case we want emphasize the eccentric/isometric portion of a movement in order to improve an athletes ability to absorb force. This is much easier accomplished through something like a squat, split-squat, RDL etc. Check out some of Cal Dietz's (University of Minnesota) stuff about Triphasic Training out and that might give you a little more insight as to why this effect is important in the development of athletes.

so key is to train to absorb the force, understood

Exactly, thats the name of the game. The faster you can slow down a load, the faster you can apply force in a new direction and additionally more force is contributed into the stretch-shortening cycle (assisting in the concentric phase). With that being said, don't skip the prowler or farmers walks they definitely will have enormous benefits in other areas.

I wouldn't want to skip them; but just by judging my own food, sleep recovery, or my condition. Doing squats, split squat, then prowler with some glute ham raise. I would only be burning myself out

Gooddammit! Why is the intro music so loud? Other than that... very interesting view.
