We’re training athletes to redirect force FAST. Band-resisted depth jumps accelerate the athlete toward the ground, creating a faster and more demanding ground contact. The goal isn’t to absorb or store force. It’s to hit the ground like a coiled spring, rapidly redirecting force and using the elastic properties of the muscle-tendon system to explode back up. Then we add load. Hex bar weighted box jumps challenge the athlete to produce high levels of force with explosive intent. Redirect force. Shorten ground contact. Produce force fast. Build a better spring. #sportscience #trainsmart #plyobox #plyometricstraining #peakperformance
