Coach

A 4-week program for Rotational Development. This program is ideal after building a base of training rotation from our 101 or Key Positions programs as a progression. Those who struggle with loading into and creating power out of their rear hip would be great candidates to improve their rotational power through this program.

If you already have a lifting program but are missing the development of the Primary Movement Pattern of your sport, this is a great add-on. Continue your lifting program and add this as the first circuit of your session.

This would also work great at the field, court, or course with bands and med balls to make sure you are improving your rotational power, speed, and positions outside of traditional lifting.

Feel the Hip Load that Drives Big Power
Loading the pelvis rotationally over the back hip sets the foundation for huge amounts of rotational velocity.

FAQs
Is this a stand alone program?
This can be done in the bullpen, on the court, or at the range prior to sport practice. It is best used as an addition to normal strength training as a rotational movement pattern focus.
What training should I do in addition to this program?
I would recommended using our full program for rotational athletes. In addition to Rotational Development, your training should also focus on Lower Body Force and Structural Support for the performance and health needs of your sport.
