teaching ✔✔the ability to effectively articulate and instruct the mechanics of each movement.
Focus on major points of performance and change for the needs of the athlete
seeing ✔✔the ability to discern good from poor movement mechanics and identify both gross
and subtle faults whether the athlete is in motion or static
static faults ✔✔the points in which an athlete is not moving. usually occur near the end ranges of
motion, either starting, receiving or finishing a movement
dynamic faults ✔✔where the athlete is moving bt the static positions, often at high speed. ex: not
reaching full hip extension, pressing early or initiating the squat with the knees
correcting ✔✔ability to facilitate better mechanics for an athlete using visual, verbal and or
tactile. this includes prioritizing faults in order of importance.
cues ✔✔this results in improved movement mechanics
primary function of a cue ✔✔to help an athlete execute perfect mechanics not to perfectly
describe the mechanics of the movement
3 step process for cues ✔✔1. identify the fault. 2. identify what is out of place and be specific
naming the body part. 3. give direction for that body part
verbal cues ✔✔tell the athlete specific instructions
visual cues ✔✔create contrasting images bt current and desired positioning
tactile cues ✔✔use physical targets to achieve proper mechanics
after a cue is delivered ✔✔stay with the athlete for another rep and provide feedback no matter
what
presence and attitude ✔✔the ability to create a positive and engaging learning environment.
shows empathy for athletes and creates rapport
6 areas trainers can evaluate and develop themselves ✔✔teaching, seeing, correcting, group
management, presence and attitude and demonstration
midline stabilization ✔✔plane of bilateral symmetry. refers to the relationship of the spine and
pelvis during functional movements
ex of core to extremity faults ✔✔pushing or pulling too early before the hips or legs have
extended
ex of balance of frontal plane faults ✔✔kip swing gets off, weight on heels, neutral spine and
moving objects not in a straight line
posterior chain engagement ✔✔balance of pressure bt the balls of the feet and the heels with the
line of action at the frontal plane. athlete maintains optimal knee alignment with the foot
ex of posterior chain engagement faults ✔✔knees collapse inward, center of pressure shifts
forward, and may or may not create the heels to come off the floor and hips extending forward
instead of upward
sound hip function ✔✔refers to the athletes ability to flex and extend the hip to maximize its
contribution to the movement
ex of sound hip function faults ✔✔muted hip, lack of hip extension, slow hip extension
muted hip ✔✔when the hip never closes/flexes and therefor is permanently open
lack of hip extension ✔✔does not allow the power of the hamstring and glutes to be fully
expressed
ex of active shoulder faults ✔✔the direction of the shoulders move forward or down when active
shoulders are lost.
full range of motion about a joint ✔✔allows a greater complement of musculature to be used ie:
reaching full depth in a squat, using active shoulders
effective stance and/or grip ✔✔refers to the foot and hand position adopted during a movement
when to use a narrow stance ✔✔deadlifts, presses and olympic lifts
when to use a wider stance ✔✔used in squatting movements, sumo deadlifts
assessing safety and performance ✔✔1. athletic capacity. 2. loading. 3. positioning. 4. assigned
tasks
heavy day rep schemes ✔✔1-5 reps usually 80-85%
effective programming is based on what results ✔✔real changes in measurable, observable and
repeatable markers. improvement in performance markers
what is variance ✔✔the variation of functional movements, loads, rep schemes and time
durations
weakness ✔✔a certain skill that is lacking relative to an athlete's proficiency in other areas
what areas do you look at to scale effectively ✔✔1. movement function. 2. loading parameters.
3. timeframe. 4. volume of repetitions
specific warmup ✔✔to build and refine proper mechanics for the movements used in the
workout and prepare mentally and physically for the challenge
general warmup ✔✔to increase core temp and blood flow to the muscles, prime the
cardiorespiratory system, increase mobility and move joints through a full range of motion
coaching a workout ✔✔it is about applying threshold training, which means pushing an athlete's
intensity while maintaining sound mechanics
