The early offseason is a great time to put athletes in a high variability, high feedback throwing environment. By manipulating constraints and throwing implements, we can challenge athletes to explore different movement solutions and solve new problems.

This gets back to Bernstein’s concept of repetition without repetition. Developing adaptable problem solvers who can get out of their own way rather than consciously control every aspect of the throw.

By challenging athletes on the front end, we can build throwing capacity and lay a solid foundation that sets us up for greater throwing gains when the time comes to push intensity later in the offseason.

A lot of Davy’s progress came from building a better foundation and then putting him in a throwing environment where he could explore and learn to express that newfound capacity.

Increasing physical capacity is only valuable if we create opportunities for the athlete to learn how to use it. That’s why the throwing environment needs to complement the work taking place outside of it.

A lot of credit goes to Davy for consistently showing up and executing the plan we put in front of him.

When we can bridge the gap between physical capacity and the actual throw, that’s when we start to see meaningful results.

When designing a practice plan, the biggest question you have to ask yourself is: Does this environment provide enough information for the athlete to learn, adapt, and ultimately find better solutions?

Ecological training design with the LP Cavs 12U last weekend.

Constrain the movement and give them a clear task to solve. Create loud feedback from the environment and let competition drive the intent.

Question of the day:

If the goal is to perform in that unconscious state where we say someone is “playing out of their mind,” why do coaches spend so much time teaching athletes to consciously control how they move within the practice design?
