Return to Sport: Agility Training

🚨Return to sport reactive agility progression🚨

1. Planned Movement:

When your brain knows a movement is coming, it is better able to prepare your body to perform the movement. These drills make sure you’re able to perform a movement at a high level - done with intention and high intensity to maximize return. Needs to be done well before moving to reactive drills.

2. Unplanned Movement:

The difference between many drills and actual game play is reactivity. Mind-body connection is important here with a focus on coordination and accuracy, while sacrificing as little intensity as possible.

3. Unplanned Movement with Dual Tasking:

Forcing a diversion of your focus away from the movement pattern in order to simultaneously complete another skill. When retuning from an injury, it’s important to demonstrate the ability to move well subconsciously while performing another task, as that’s what will occur in sport.

4. Movement with Disruption:

Can you react when someone impedes or disrupts your movement? Improving body awareness and developing reactive correction strategies can help reduce the likelihood of injury. This also provides exposure and practice to landing in a variety of non-conventional positions.
