[@Nickball52]

@@soulessshadow5356 I'm not trying to be a jerk but do you understand the rationale for the bosu ball? Moreover, do you know what the terms flexibility and mobility mean and how they really don't mean much on a bosu ball? I think the argument you are trying to make is that it requires a lot of balance, coordination, and muscle endurance and if you would have referenced those biomotor abilities I would have given you the benefit of the doubt.

[@dasdovian7785]

It's really good, they used to make us do them in our conditioning class. It builds a bunch of strength and stability in your legs, core and lower back.

[@calandreth7]

No need to hate folks. Obviously the guy is accomplishing great things. But to answer how this exercise could help improve speed: Have you ever seen anyone who has weak hip flexors run..? If you have, you likely noticed that they weren't running very fast. Being as their flexion of ankle, knee, and hip would be poor due to their lack of hip flexor strength (among weakness in other muscle groups): they would have a low heel recovery (i.e. short stride length) and therefore little force production into the ground. So.. most things done to improve hip flexor strength, therefore improving the triple flexion of ankle, knee, and hip: will likely have a positive impact on stride length and turnover rate, which are the 2 prominate components of sprint speed.

[@jonathanwade8313]

Calan Landreth then maybe make them get their squat up. This shit is a waste of time with no carryover to anything except being better at this

[@PatMcNamara1]

Could someone clarify to me how standing on a bosu ball with one leg considered speed training? How is that going to help the athlete increase the rate at which they produce force? They don’t realize they’re getting faster because they’re probably not

[@alpirl2921]

Pat McNamara only way I see is something to do with ankle stability, more than likely you're right though

[@ryanturner8577]

You're exactly right. And also, it isn't stability training. It makes no sense. You're training stability on an unstable environment. You play football on a stable ground, so your stability training should be based on using a stable environment for sport specificity.

[@bdgaming5363]

That exercise is meant to help in balance aswell as leg strength. When playing football balance is key and being able to run and take hits and bounce off of them and keep going is very important. That is how it helps football players and all athletes.

[@nog33ksallowed]

You build a strong foundation and transfer the explosive energy to the ground better instead of losing energy in stability muscles being off kilter

[@Tedbear1990]

Pat McNamara I’d say whilst it’s a lot of injury prevention but also focuses the athletes ability to keep core engaged and stay in a stronger position to promote economical running movements which would lead to faster running times

Robert Saladino , there is also mountains of peer reviewed literature that disproves everything this video is demonstrating. Unstable surface training has been shown to make athletes slower. This “Coach” also implies that he conflates strength training with skill training. He called them “football moves”. This is known as simulation training. Simulation training has been shown to degrade skill and reduce speed and power.

@@heftyhugh9086 This is probably some rehab or mid-season conditioning. I would hope, and assume, the bulk of all of their strength training is comprised of compound barbell movements.

​@@heftyhugh9086 I literally said he did know more about strength and conditioning than me in a previous comment. I never said the staff was unqualified. I was bashing the methods used as general strength techniques. Why can't I critique a public video that is supposed to teach the general public how athletes get stronger, and in turn, themselves, when this is an inefficient way to go about it? This goes against some very basic strength training concepts. You can't continually gain strength on these exercises unless you add additional stimulus (intensity or volume) or these will get very dangerous (ie. squatting with 315lbs on a bosu ball). You don't need to be a professional trainer to know that. Why don't you add something constructive instead of just calling people out?
