🔑🔑🔑 to Mastery @nigel_noriega ➡️ This drill is intended to assist athletes with developing the coordination to maintain power during high velocity hip extension where speeds exceed muscle contraction velocity enough to require assistance from connective tissue elastic recoil.
 The first phase is a hip extension with no “starting” momentum (moving foot starts as close as possible to stationary foot) while balancing on one leg. 
The first phase encourages:
- coordinated use of the core, shoulders, back and hips to recruit multiple connected “springs” to accelerate the leg without losing balance
-Development of posterior pelvic tilt as a stabilizer during hip extension of one leg, in athletes who have the mobility.

The second phase is a knee drive using the elastic recoil of the prior hip extension.
Coordinated athletes can develop arm-swing and counter rotation to use the rigidity of the standing leg to power  the knee drive as opposed to relying on hip flexion of the driving leg.

In short this drill develops coordination to use tissues from the foot through the legs, hips, core, shoulders and arms to cycle the leg at high velocity.

This drill was a test to see if we could find another way for athletes to comprehend rapid hip extension and leg cycling when they displayed difficulty or sticking points with traditional switch and thigh separation drills typically used to develop sprint posture.

A primary intent of the drill was to “force” shoulder and upper back mechanics (fast, powerful high elbow) to develop the posterior phase of the arm swing as a counterbalance.  Our athletes typically comprehend the front phase of the arm swing more easily than the rear phase.

We were working with athletes on the “hammer down” phase of the arm swing, and some of them had good “front catch”. We wanted to test if developing the “rear catch” of the arm swing could help with posture for faster leg cycling, easier hip extension and better drilling during warmup and top end speed.
