Athletes require the development of functional strength in both the upper and lower body. Functional strength development is predicated upon multi-joint, total body, integrated, NOT isolated movement patterns. Human movement and the execution of athletic actions recruit the entire body "feet to fingertips" and in order to create a transfer of training effect from the weight room onto the field of competition, it is necessary for the sport performance coach to address the development of functional strength in the athlete's strength...

Sports Performance Coach Sean Cochran on the 19th Hole Talk Radio Show by Dennis Silvers "Swinging a golf club, baseball bat, or tennis racquet all require the rotary athlete to develop speed. In order to the develop this speed the body must have certain levels of mobility, strength, and power. As a result it is imperative for the rotary athlete to develop a physical foundation of joint mobility, segemental stabilization, and total body power." - Sean Cochran Read More...

The development of lower and upper body strength is imperative for all athletes. Increases in total body strength allow the athlete the potential to generate more power, reduce injury, and increase overall performance during competition. The athlete, coach, and trainer must recognize the kinetic chain operates as a collective unit to perform athletic actions during competition. As a result, the strength and conditioning program of the athlete must develop the neuromuscular system of the body in accordance to the requirements of...

Plyometrics are a specialized type of training modality developing the power outputs of the kinetic chain. Bat speed, change of direction, and sprinting in the sport of baseball all incorporate a power component. As a result, a strength and conditioning program for the sport of baseball should entail modalities to increase the power outputs of the baseball athlete. Power Power can be defined as the ability of the neuromuscular system to exert the greatest amount of force in a short amount of...

The ability of the athlete to maintain stabilization of the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex while generating rotary movement patterns with the hips and shoulders is imperative. The majority of rotary sports require the athlete to generate speed in a transverse plane. In order to complete this requirement efficiently, the athlete must have adequate levels of mobility in the hips, thoracic spine, and shoulders. In addition, it is necessary for the athlete to organize the spine and maintain stability in the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex. An...

Performance training for the athlete requires a comprehensive approach to mobility training for each joint within the kinetic chain. A review of the Mobility/Stability Pattern of Human Movement indicates the ankle, hip, thoracic spine, gleno-humeral, and wrist joints require large ranges of motion in order for optimal movement during athletic performance. As a result, the strength and conditioning coach should look to develop a mobility program incorporating a multifaceted series of exercises and modalities to develop the range of motion...
