Contact prep.
We can’t expect our players to be prepared for live contact after a 3 day “acclimatization” period in August.

Been toying around with some extreme depth drops for the past month, making my way up to 60” yesterday.
The last 4 weeks I paired a depth drop variation with an extensive plyo and ended up seeing a 1.5” increase in my VJ.

Proud coach moment:
About 3-4 months ago Danielle struggled to do 1 body weight pull up.
This past week she knocked out a solid rep with an added 10 pounds and almost got one with 15 pounds.
She was locked in during the eccentric phase and it shows here.
