Multidirectional speed is key when it comes to sports. The ability to change direction instantaneously will give athletes the ultimate advantage when having to beat your opponent down the playing field.
Staff with Centura Sports Performance at the William J. Hybl Sports Medicine and Performance Center will take athletes through a session on multidirectional speed and drills you can do to improve your agility.
Centura Health’s Alison Regal, sport performance lead, and will be joined by sport performance specialists Kelli Selman and Adrianne Bishop for the free webinar at 10 a.m., June 4, through Zoom.
This session will include:
- General overview of the breakdown of multidirectional speed (agility)
- Proper movement mechanics of lateral and multidirectional starts, acceleration, deceleration, and change of direction drills.
- A proper warm up and drills you can include and add to your work out program to help develop agility.
The webinar is geared to athletic directors, high school coaches and their athletes, college athletes, youth coaches and athletes, and parents.
