Presenter(s): Yuka Sugiura
Session Summary

Coaches will be introduced to a system that has an enormous impact on movement, yet is not assessed or trained, even at the Elite level. It impacts flexibility of the spine, hamstrings and calves, and is the system that is “in charge of” balance and air awareness. Coaches will learn basic drills to activate and train this system, as well as how and when to use the drills in practice.
