Are you on a team that refuses to give up? 🏆
Remember to always show appreciation for those teams that pushed your boundaries and made you EARN the win.
It’s those games that reveal your character, challenge your weaknesses, and ultimately make you a better athlete

Lateral skipping⏩
The only way to get better laterally is to train laterally, but this skip usually catches a lot of athletes off guard because no one thinks to skip this way.
Moving laterally is something ALL athletes need to know how to do well.
We teach this skip in our team S&C programmes to help improve coordination, warm up the abductors and prep the knees and ankles to move laterally.
The youth athletes at Chigwell tigers have been practicing this for a few weeks and they are finally getting it down!!
Left this video without music so you can hear some of the coaching points. Give this skip a try in your next warm up. .

🗣 Don’t let other peoples' opinion you overpower your view of yourself. Let me explain..
As athletes we are faced with a lot of comparison and judgments from parents, teammates and coaches. This is unavoidable.
We compare jump height, running time, game stats, attitude, stamina starters over non startes, etc. That is the nature of competition.
But you can't let those aspects of competition take over how you feel about yourself on a day to day basis.
Otherwise you don't give yourself any room to grow.
You will fall into the trap of caring more about what others are thinking and doing rather than just doing you and focusing on your unique gifts.
This happens a lot in sport and can often go unnoticed until your time in competitive sports is done.
We have to form some sort of mental protection by building confidence in who you are both in and out of sport.
Meditation and visualisation is a great way to get rooted in who you are as a player AND a person. Make sure your thoughts are yours and not someone else’sYou are what your believe your are.
Deadlift or squat? If you could only choose one, which do you enjoy doing the most? 👇🏽WeTrainsharp
Doing S&C together as a team can improve team checmisty, establish trust and provide more player accountability. Any little win matters when you are striving to be the best.

SPEED 🏃🏾💨💨

Speed is an attribute that all athletes want to have but so few actually work on to become faster 🤯
•
High knee switches and A-skips are just two of many exercises which can help train your biomechanics to do just that.
•
These two exercises are in our online high performance programmes.

Do you get caught up in comparing yourself to others?
Social media can make it really challenging. We see people with “more” than us or in a “better” position than us and that can lead us to end up feeling ungrateful, anxious, low on confidence or even jealous.
What good does that do?
Remember that everyone has their own unique situation. It does us no good getting distracted by what others are doing. True growth and progress happen when you can appreciate your own your own journey.
“If you get 1% better each day for one year, you’ll end up 37x better by the time you’re done. Small choices don’t make much of a huge difference at the time, but add up over the long term” James Clear (2018)
