SEMINAR PREPARATION
In preparation for some of the activities, drills, and changes that will be worked on with run mechanics/technique we recommend that you start doing the following so that your body is prepared for this challenge.
Up your box jumps, double unders, and jump roping. Start jumping rope 2-3 times per week barefoot for 5 min (increase time as cert nears) during some of your warm ups.
Open up your calves and feet, especially target the achilles tendon and plantar fascia. Use of a lacrosse ball is a key to open your calves and feet.
