Joe B: Very solid practice. Run looked stronger out of the back. We must spend time and effort and be committed to improving the lower body mechanics regarding dorsiflexion. Keep trying to incorporate this into all our drills and CW. I think if we can keep the hips up and post better off the final step, this well help you to work the left arm sooner and speed up the hip swing.
Chase: The 9 lefts is getting dialed in. We have to keep it simple. Don't overgrip until we get the timing down. The more you can "complete" the take-off and create elasticity through the shoulders with really high hands and extended arms, the better your balance will be (hips vs. shoulders) moving the pole and staying behind it. This should give you the speed, whip, and position to keep the swing alive and avoid the head toss/flag out that occurs when the pole take-off without you.
Brad H: Same old song and dance. You must be rhythmic and strict during your last three. Cannot make more speed a bad thing. Just looks like the arms are asleep.Hard to tell if this is due to the overstriding or vice/versa. I would like to go back core/breath cue with a big focus continuous/active hands.
Tyer P: Run got better. Just need lots of reps with the pole in you hand. When you drive out of the back with power and control, the tempo of your run allows you to come off the ground nicely. This is what it will take for you to really avoid the left arm block and be able to accelerate through the middle and cover the hands. Just needs to get more consistent and "snap" that plant up early and in front vs. behind the head which stops the momentum.
Maira: Keep working. Things are getting better. The pole plant remains an significant issue. Notice how you drop the left hand down and in front and tilt the body back but not shoulder turn. The left hand starts in a weak position and does not "assist" the acceleration of the pole upward and into the proper position. This is too slow and has an effect on your penultimate mechanics. Keep drilling the left hand "cocked" position and elbow underneath. It must be smooth, quick, and relaxed though. The better this gets, the more likely you will be able to have quicker feet and a proper penultimate and get the hands up earlier to open the shoulders.
Rasnick: Maybe we go back to 4 lefts/7 lefts like 2010. Either way, lots of slide box, walking drills, partner plant drills, etc. Simple keys and mental poise.
