My own training, and the training advice I provide [...] Recently Evolutionary Athletics contributor Jeremy and I were consulting a local HS football coach about his off season strength and conditioning program.

No matter how you slice it, 1 [...] At Evolutionary Athletics we believe in a simple formula for improving sports performance: 1. Get moving better 2. Get Stronger 3. Get faster 4. SPP As the regular readers may know we have spent much time working on the get moving better component with the material dedicated to foot function and all the discussion surrounding core and glute function. Now it is time to discuss the get stronger component of the equation. First a brief discussion on autoregulatory training.

Also, keep the [...] We look at the impact ankle rocker has on sports performance. Including a look at sprinting speed, potential injuries, and exercises to improve ankle rocker and sports performance [...] These active stretches are the brainchild of my friend Colin. They are excellent! 1) tuck chin hard and pull shoulder blades back together, really stretch the pec minor and hold for 20secs 2) tuck chin, pull shoulders down and internally rotates arms as hard as you can and hold for 20secs. Arms will be [...] For those who don’t know you, if you could give us a brief background about who you are that would be excellent? I am a speed trainer.
