Drill with elastic band

Hi,

after the post about the development of the lower limb's strength with jumps and changes of direction, today I would like to introduce you a useful tools that I used from 2 years for the strength training. I have 6 elastic band of different length and resistance (from 2 to 12 meters). I think that are very useful for the type of load that permits to administrate to the athletes: eccentric and concentric contractions, accelerations and deceleration. These tools are also useful for the muscles injuries prevention.

In this drill we have joint a strength work on lower limb with a sprint in counterattack and a final shoot toward goal.

Speed and individual technique training

Hi,

Today I'd like to share with you a drill for the development of speed of player. This simple drill permits at the same time the increase of the shooting skills and defensive block. The sprint work is on the 20 meters while the "technique" part is made for the development of defensive skills of the players in fatigue conditions.

Strength of lower limbs

Hi,

I think that this is one of the most discussed topic in the athletic training "world". A lot of trainer think that without leg press, leg extension, leg curl, squat etc, is hard to develop the strength and power of the lower limbs. Surely, the work in the gym is an important addition to the "field training" that unfortunately not all the teams can use. This is the reason why today I am share with you a drill for the development of the lower limbs strength with jumps and changes of direction. In these drills, the load is the body weight of the player and the advantages are: specific and mutidirectional actions, work of eccentric deceleration made by the hamstrings muscles, elimination of the training's monotony.

I want to explain that I am not totally against the work in the gym with machine, barbell and dumbbell, but I think that this load has to be modulated with the drills like the below video one.

Greetings
