Combining reactive fast movement in between sprinting or lifting weight creates a conversion of that exercise into powerful explosive movement. Completing movements with velocity provides the body with a physical readiness to play at high intensity also. We also aim to prepare the athlete to be durable while training and playing at a high velocity. Specificity in your preparation is vital as an athlete. #athlete #power strength @talentleague

At MCAP we aim to prepare you to perform your best. Kiara Boyd ( Western Jets U/18 ) is a great example of an athlete aiming to be at their best. With a willingness to improve and thirst to succeed Kiara is always preparing to be at her best. Kiatas high standards have culminated in her making the Victorian Metro U/18 team in her first of 2 years in U/18 competition. Huge congratulations Kiara we look forward to seeing you perform. Nothing beats results. @kiaraboyd1 @westernjetsfc @talentleague

Developing both strength, balance and the skill of lateral movement used in change of direction on team sport is vital to practice. Not only developing the strength, control in the hips, back and connective tissue in the knee and single but actually practicing the technique of how best to change direction fast. At MCAP we have had experience in many sports including NFL and soccer which provide further insights to teach these aspiring Australian Rules footballers. Cross pollinating ideas from different sports at a world level provides our athletes with world class learning in a world class facility. Our developing is experiencing the performance coaching weekly at MCAP. @elebertina.sch @clough.holly @jamo.fleming @nash.mcmahon #athlete #mcapathlete

Nothing beats athletic development. In this clip Ryan is revealing the impact of technical changes in his sprinting mechanics. Specifically Ryan is focusing on consistency in dorsi flexion (lifting toe up) during the flight phase of the leg. This assists in reducing ground contact time and increasing flight time. Practicing constantly refining mechanics with both coach and athlete input can result in gradual speed improvement. The importance of developing athlete mechanics should not be overlooked in both speed development and hamstring injury prevention. @ryan.dnd_ #athlete #speed #sprint #athleticsessendon @athleticsessendon

MCAP Developing Elite squad performing explosive multijoint exercises such as slit jerks out of rack. These exercises are interspersed with explosive, elastic movements such as bounding, sprinting or football related drills. @nash.mcmahon @elebertina.sch @clough.holly @jamo.fleming @talentleague #caldercannons #mcapathlete #exlosive #teammcap #athlete #aflw #afl #coatesleague
