Just as athletes seek to continuously improve, coaches should seek to continuously improve their knowledge. It is the responsibility of every coach working with athletes to know as much as possible about the training that affects those athletes' lives and aspirations. Coaches seeking to improve power must consider how to make their athletes stronger and faster. Move a MBO farther in the same time or Move a MBO the same distance in less time or Move a bigger MBO the same distance in the same time or Any combination of the above. To begin a power development program, coaches must ensure that their athletes have a good foundation of core stability and technique.
Core stability involves strengthening the trunk muscles.
Coaches must incorporate back and abdominal strengthening exercises into their program. Proper technique ensures that athletes remain injury-free and have the greatest room for improvement. The next phase of power development incorporates slow speed, high force movement exercises to build the strength component of power. These exercises involve using heavy resistance, generally with few repetitions. The first stage in this zone focuses on fast speed, low force movements.
