Change of direction starts with learning how to stop. Before athletes can cut efficiently, they need to be able to control their momentum, absorb force, and own the position they’re cutting from. ⚡️ Develop: • Deceleration • Body control • Reactive stiffness • Cutting mechanics • Reacceleration Progression: ➡️ Athletic stance → decel ➡️ Rapid fire → decel ➡️ Pogo → decel ➡️ Continuous angled cuts We start by teaching the position, then add faster ground contacts and more momentum before putting it all together with continuous cuts. Control the stop. Own the cut. Accelerate out. #SportsPerformance #ChangeOfDirection #AgilityTraining #SpeedTraining #AthleteDevelopment
