DDW X CHRIST MAKOSSO 🧱

It’s been a pleasure assisting Christ prepare for the season ahead. A great professional and overall great person 👊🏽

With a short window to make progress, logically we know we have little time to make any real structural or muscular changes, this is a story of learning how to better utilise the traits he already has, and building capacity for season to come.

A lot of the stress we introduced to the programme was new, we had a great response to this novel stimuli as expected so early on in his career.

A tendon driven athlete we used plyometrics to improve SSC efficiency, aswell as a combination of eccentrics on high days and isometrics on low days to load them frequently.

Where I believe we made the most progress is through sequencing and coordination, loading the appropriate tissues for a given task by adjusting our technique. Gaining a better understanding of how to use our levers and ensuring workload was distributed evenly.

The rest of our time was spent on general physical preparation and expanding our movement options through mobility work both isolated and integrated.

It’s always worth noting these 2 tests are not the only metrics of success but have a correlation with some of our high performance outputs, the last 2 weeks will serve as a foundation to be built upon up to and throughout the season.

DDW X Mason Tunbridge 🏔️

Per our previous post, we had targets of reducing hip pain and improving overall athleticism. Our most impactful improvements were in the following areas:

FOOT/GROUND INTERACTION 🦶🏽

Ability to create pretension and prepare for ground contact, the early preparation gives us the ability to reduce tendon slack which decreases muscle strain and leads to more efficient force application. This paired with structural adaptations at the ankle and calf complex were where I believe our biggest enhancements were made.

HIGH OUTPUTS 🧠📈

A Rolls Royce of a player, effortlessly glides past opponents. Training the brain to send stronger signals and teaching the body to produce high amounts of force, moved the chains further. Getting stronger and moving at higher speeds are easy gains at earlier stages, and for a more relaxed player an extremely useful skill to develop.

BODY AWARENESS 🦵🏾

Gaining a better understanding of where the body is in space, how to coordinate individual joints and position them to better accomplish a given task. This allowed us to get into better postures, create ideal shapes and better utilise the increased force, by applying it in the right directions.

If you found this valuable, follow or drop us a message!

HOW IMPORTANT IS ANKLE STIFFNESS? 🤷🏾‍♂️

As a young S&C I was obsessed with chasing ankle stiffness and later realised it is just one component of a healthy and durable foot & ankle complex, but still important nonetheless.

We need the ankles to resist excessive lengthening under high force + the awareness & timing to execute this neuromuscular stiffness.

For me this is extremely important during acceleration. When creating momentum from nothing, our foot strikes behind our centre of mass, the Achilles tendon needs to act as a rigid force transmitter to allow the hip & knee to extend powerfully.

A lack of strength or coordination can lead to ankle collapsing towards the ground at first contact, resulting in longer ground contact times and limiting the ability to get up to our top speed quicker.

A lack of stiffness can also change the shin position and extension sequencing costing us force and time.

In short. Ankle stiffness helps us apply high forces during acceleration. A lack of it limits how quick we can build speed.

The video above shows a few variations we use to coordinate ankle stiffness! Try them & let us know how you get on!

Do what makes sense… DDW.

HOW WE STRUCTURE CHANGE OF DIRECTION ➡️⬅️

Post warm up gaining an awareness of favourable postures and joint angles, introducing velocity, and the reactive nature of the game.

DDW X JOSH MAJA 📈

Staying ready, utilising a slightly longer off-season.

We made great progress across strength, power, reactivity and technique.

Excited for my guy to hit the ground running in @ligue1mcdonalds

OFF-SEASON TO IN-SEASON TRANSITION 🪜

You’ve used your time wisely, trained well and built a reserve of strength, speed and conditioning. Across the season left unchecked these qualities begin to deteriorate, this is the cost of high performance sport.

Our primary objective is to mitigate this decay, to ensure performance is up and injury risk stays low, then find ways to improve these qualities.

The latter being particularly challenging to naviagte with a busy game schedule. This is where having guidance becomes valuable, with sensible loading and periodisation and a training system developed to account for the changes the in-season period can bring, you can continue to go into matchday at your best, whilst making the most effective use of your time.

And if you need help with this, we’re right by your side. 🫡

Jadakiss would probably tell you. Do what makes sense. DDW.

DDW OFF-SEASON CAMP 26 📈

Now the dust has settled, it was another great off-season camp this year, more players, more coaches, more quality and more work.

We thank everyone who attended this year for the hard work and effort you put in. Next year we go even bigger and better, for now attention turns to the season ahead.

Looking forward to watching the lads ball out!
