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.
