Movement mechanics are used to teach the athlete how to stabilize position, carry the body in motion, and correctly initiate motion. The cornerstone of our movement mechanics system is the use of the foot. Because the feet are on the ground, movement in any direction must begin there. This seems obvious, but we find that most athletes use their bodies before action occurs in the feet, causing an off-balance, less than powerful motion.

We use movement mechanics to train muscle action, stability and strength of the feet as the first step, drills that initially develop this awareness progress into drills that utilize it with increasing speed, reaction and positioning.

Being able to count on the use of perfect movement during performance assures confidence and allows the athlete to focus on the skills of the game.

In order for the feet to create motion, they must be taught to push. This is a new muscle action for most athletes as they have usually used their feet to "lift and set". By learning to push, the athlete is able to create instant, functional motion that continuses upward through the body. As each muscle system learns to respond off the previous one, synchronized action allows the body to react as a unit.

Drills that create stability in the center of the body allow movement to occur in balance. Positioning is taught here so that at each foot strike, the upper body is in alignment with mid foot. This is developed in every direction successively.

Arm action is established in exact timing with foot action throughout the drills, as well.
