Pumping up your tyres- How to improve performance.
I had a great session screening a couple of young multi event athletes last week. The coaches were present which made exchange of information very clear and easy for all concerned.
When explaining to the athletes the importance of being able to have control of key areas of the body to enable the big movement joints to work efficiently, Gary Jennings (coach) said “Otherwise its like trying to ride a bike with a buckled wheel.” No matter how hard you peddle, if one of the wheels isn’t working well, or the tyre is deflated, you will not be able to move as fast.
The secret is balancing both so that you have a great engine and drivers (the prime movers, phasic muscles) and also an efficient steering and controlling mechanism (static and postural muscles).
Client Testimonials
During the build up to the Beijing Paralympics I was fortunate to be able to train with Excelsior. During this time James delivered a specific eleven month training block to me starting from base fitness up to more complex circuits and exercises. James would always take part in our sessions and this really helped motivate me, as we would push each other to achieve during the sessions. James was flexible around my shift work and would always answer any questions I had, however daft they sounded!
