BACK TO FRONT, FRONT TO ARMS

From my understanding, this is the path described as “the kinetic chain.” This is how we build and produce a pulse of power… transfer it forward, only to capture/catapult/and add more power to that burst… and then transfer it into the hands.

ATHLETICISM

Baseball has turned into a job for many. With single sport specialization pushing younger and younger, college and professional coaches are starting to see single-sport robots arriving on campus.

Algorithms

“If this, then that.” Algorithms are a great way to make decisions easy, get in front of disciplinary issues, and create non-emotional rules for your squad.
