Off-Season-Transition/Regeneration


After a solid week of recovery following the season it is finally time to undergo the off season program for football. This being my first year as the teams strength coach there are some things in which we are doing that they have never done, things we are doing better, and things we are not doing anymore.
Some things we are doing that they have never done
Hip thrust
Unsupported single leg work
RFESS
Various Corrective exercises
Foam Rolling
Various Activation drills
Things we are doing better
Squats
Clean Variations
Core Stabilization
Plyometric Progressions
Things we are not doing anymore
Behind the neck presses
Repeated Crunches and sit-ups
Depth Jumps
Bad Form!
Missed Reps!

So it is pretty much a program overhaul in terms of philosophy, means, and methods. Something that this team has never been exposed to is a lot of single leg work. Also the previous program was lacking in posterior chain work. Also this is the first time these guys have foam rolled and already after the morning session they could tell a difference in readiness to train. Ill try and get some video up as soon as possible.
