NEURAL ACTIVATION: Priming the CNS for performance

Think of neural activation as the bridge between your warm-up and the “work” portion of your session. It uses fast, reactive movements to prime the central nervous system, improve motor unit recruitment and reaction time, and prepare your body to move (freaky) fast.

COACH’S CALL
• Drop squat ➡️ 2-inch run (fast feet)
• Drop squat ➡️ 2-inch run ➡️ Linear 2-inch run
• Add a final “Jump!” call

Goal: Athletes react to the coach’s cue (drop, go, forward, or jump) as quickly as possible.

Never a goodbye, just a “see you later” 🤞🏼

Eight years ago, I applied for an internship at Exos, fully aware of the incredible privilege it would be to coach alongside some of the best in the game.

I’ve worn many hats - from intern, to program manager, to senior performance coach - and each chapter has shaped me into the person I am today. I started at corporate sites, moved into filming for our Exos app, had the privilege of working with NBA, MLB, and NFL athletes, and eventually traveled the world sharing and teaching our methodology to other coaches.

To say I grew up here would be an understatement. I’m endlessly grateful for every person I’ve crossed paths with at Exos - for the mentors who poured into me, the leaders who saw something in me and gave me a shot, and the friends who became family.

I’m beyond excited for the next step in my journey, but my roots here will always run deep.

Think of exercises as tools in your toolbox. The skill is knowing which one to choose and why 🧡

Only doing flexion focused core exercises is a surefire way to NOT build a resilient core.

Sometimes the “burn” isn’t necessarily the greatest sign of a productive training session 🫶🏼
