Episode notes
Assess Before You Train
- Assess first: do the mobility and simple power tests to find your specific limits before prescribing training.
- Use test results to prioritise the few deficits that most limit your swing and safety.
Prioritise Rotary Mobility
- Focus on four rotary centres: hips, thoracic spine, shoulders, and neck (hips, thoracic, shoulders are highest priority).
- Improve these ranges to enable safe repeatable swing mechanics and speed.
Use Simple Tests To Find Low-Hanging Fruit
- Use three quick tests at home: seated chest pass, vertical jump, and mobility checks to capture ~80% of what limits your speed.
- Retest and prioritise improvements where you are farthest from the target ranges.
