Extend Yourself

Dsc04577
Amy at the top

What do you look like at the top of a wall ball? Are your heels pressed firmly into the ground? Are your legs fully extended, are your hips fully extended, are your arms fully extended? We coach our athletes to drive through the heels to reach full extension. We don't like to see our athletes get forward onto the toes. What about follow through? Do you end up getting on your toes? To maximize our productive application of force we must stay in contact with the ground for as long as possible. So if you get on your toes before you have extended your legs, hips and arms you are losing power. If you look like Amy does in the photo above, give yourself a pat on the back, and keep up the good work.
