- Chris Barner from Overtime Athletes discusses structuring agility training sessions for athletes, emphasizing the importance of volume and variation to improve footwork and force direction.
- The session starts with a dynamic warm-up of about 15 movements to prepare the body for intense work, followed by tailored mobility and prep phases focusing on specific skills like linear speed and change of direction.
- Athletes work on lower limb movements, emphasizing the foot and ankle complex through basic lateral exercises, leading to more complex agility drills.
- Incorporating change of direction plyometrics is highlighted as crucial for maximizing training effectiveness, with a progression from basic to complex exercises to enhance agility.
