we want to really make sure that people have the coordination they're doing the types of drill like agility agility ladders you know uh I high hand eye coordination exercises ball tosses um such that they're kind of generating neuromuscular control in addition to to strength
um and getting away with it but that you're going to stop getting away with that the the older you get
you know we've talked a lot about the importance of being able to control the Ecentric phase of a movement
