Just because someone is muscular does NOT mean they are athletic ❌🙅♀️
The nervous system (CNS) is king when it comes to jumping high, sprinting fast & changing direction efficiently 💯 It’s the CNS job to co ordinate motor unit & therefore complex muscular recruitment patterns (multiple muscle groups must contract & relax at once) that maximise not only the “skill” of the movement but also the “capacity” 💯
If you are not exposing your neuromuscular system to movements (strength, power, speed etc) that train the body as one (unit NOT in isolation ie think compound, multi joint) you are not developing your CNS ability to be efficient & athletic 💪
Training like a body builder & isolating every muscle group misses out on enhancing the CNS ability to become efficient & athletic 🤦♂️ moreover, the athlete might look muscular AF & gives the impression of being “athletic” but in reality they lack the ability of their CNS to recruit motor units > muscle fibres as one unit & efficiently as possible for athletic tasks that require the CNS to recruit in links and chains (& co ordinate complex contraction of muscle groups & relax others)
This is why IMO the nervous system is king when it comes to athletic development & it would be better to see an athletes nervous system (& how efficient or in efficient it is) rather than their muscular system as this is what dictates sports performance 👊
Note; Yes the muscular system is important because this is what creates contraction & therefore Force but the nervous system is what controls contraction & without it we are just slabs of meat (thank you - honours supervisor back all those years ago ❤️) coach wood

After few competitions and few block start sessions, it wasn’t bad but had issues (stumble) after 4 step out of the block. Proposed change to my block start will not be a bad idea🤔

As a coach, do you need biomechanics?
All the principles of movement are based on how forces are developed and controlled by the athlete or how they act on the athlete’s body. They may appear complex at first, but as a coach, as you learn the basics for each event, biomechanics and analysis of movement will become an understandable and usable part of your coaching knowledge, helping to make you a better coach.

The Copenhagen hip adduction
This exercise has been shown to be very effective for training hip adductors (1,2).
A 2015 systematic review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that hip adductor strength was one of the most common risk factors for groin injury in sport (3).
Performing the Copenhagen adductor exercise requires a partner to hold the trainee’s knee and ankle or the use of a high chair for support.
The trainee is supported on the elbow in a side plank position.
From this position, raise the pelvis and bring the lower leg slowly to the upper leg and back.
The adductor muscles of both legs are active, but the higher load is on the upper leg, which supports most of the body weight. The lower leg has only to raise its own weight.
You can either go up and down or hold steady in a static position.
