Attention Coaches and Athletic Directors
Get Your athletes “Reactively: Fast - FIT –n- Explosive”
using a simple 41 inch continuous rubber band
Don’t spend another “Dime” on high priced gadgets that allow you to train ONE athlete at a time!!!
Dear
Coach,
I have traveled to 100’s of high schools and seen 100’s of weight rooms. All coaches, especially at the high school level struggle with low budgets, limited space, and creating training variety to keep athletes motivated.
These are the very reasons why I developed the Reactive - FAST - FIT - n - Explosive Training System. I like to think of it as the functional version of BFS.
No Space… NO PROBLEM
As a high school athlete I lived on a farm 20 miles from the high school. Needless to say getting to the weight room was not going to happen. So I learned how to train on my own.
I ran plowed fields, worked on cutting off hay bales or fence post and did tons of quick burst drill.
For some reason I felt I need to really work on my ability to explode off cuts and develop my ability to change direction quickly. Interestingly I never suffered a lower torso injury and was the fastest kid in a school of 1200 students throughout my high school years. I did not understand why I trained like I did back than until I started training and rehabilitating my physical therapy patients with resistance bands .
Injuries helped Develop FFE
Since 1986, I have rehabilitated 1000’s of sports injuries. All of these athletes had this in common..
- They demonstrated poor deceleration of their lumbo-pelvic-hip complex
- 99% trained muscle isolation versus movement based integrated strength
- They either had limited hip and shoulder mobility or excessive hip and shoulder mobility
- They lacked upper and lower torso rhythm and integration
As I kept seeing them in the clinic, I kept doing similar drills and retraining exercises. Interestingly, 99% of them were done using the same 2 tools.
Bands and Body Weight. Hmm… Go Figure.
Why Bands??
See bands train the one thing that no other tool can….Fast Deceleration control or as all the functional Experts would say ..”YOUR BODY’S ABILITY TO LOAD THE SYSTEM”.
I won’t bore you with all the biomechanical theories but our body performs NO movement (especially explosive movements) without loading the system first. Which means loading comes before Exploding. What is happening is …. Athletes are not being challenged to get their body to load fast and reactively. Traditional weight training can’t create acceleration on momentum or gravity and simple dot drills done with body weight alone won’t challenge the system enough.
The fact is bands
speed up our body’s MOMENTUM, accelerating GRAVITY and challenges
GROUND REACTION response time to get quicker.
No other tool can do that except elastic resistance.
Why is this important…
This functional is exactly what your athletes have to overcome every time they step on the field or court. Their ability to decrease ground reaction time (foot quickness) while effectively and reflexively dealing with momentum from multiple force planes, will allow them to develop incredible change of direction speed as well as amazing acceleration. I call this REAL WORLD SPEED
Why not bungee cords or tubes Bungee cords…
Jerk your body because they have a solid ending point.
Tubes…. Snap and Break
Both of these are not pleasant and take their toll on budgets not to mention your athlete’s body.
Ok, but why are athletes going to want to train with bands???
Well here are 10 Reasons Why YOUR athletes Will Benefit and enjoy training with Bands….
- Trains the body the way it was designed to work and athletes feel the difference immediately
- Athletes see results in weeks not months
- Any age level can benefit and train with resistance bands
- Train all aspects of Performance… Flexibility – Speed – Agility – Power – First Step Explosiveness – Functional Strength
- Band training is fun and break up the boredom of weight lifting
- It will allow athletes to train as a team and create great off-season team chemistry
- Bands attach to the athlete allowing them to strengthening “movements not muscles”
- Band train muscle Reaction not Just muscle Contraction
- Athletes will stay on the field and off the injury list
- Athletes feel faster immediately after band speed workouts
.. and Here are 10 Reasons Why YOU as a Coach will get excited about Reactive Fast-Fit –n- Explosive
- Bands cost 50% less than a good pair of shoes and last 10 times longer
- Bands make all other training equipment more effective and versatile
- You will be able to train large groups of athletes
- You will see results in weeks not months
- FFE is easy for you to implement regardless what you are presently using
- You don’t need to dedicate half your weight room to train FFE
- Bands are Extremely Portable and allow you to train Any Where – Any Time with Any Body
- FFE can and is designed to be done In-Season, Off-Season and Pre-season
- Bands last for years which makes budgets easier to manage
- Create endless training circuits and training programs without adding any additional bands or cost
What about our present off-season strength training program??
My goal is not to replace what you are presently doing. We all need to lift weights and develop absolute strength. FFE is about harnessing that strength and bringing it onto the field or court where it now becomes “REAL WORLD” strength. FFE is not a substitute…. It is an incredible compliment to what every model your present strength training follows.
