The Competitive Edge: SAQ Training

Description

The TWIST Competitive Edge SAQ course is designed to teach how-to-coach Speed, Agility, Quickness and Deceleration. With a focus on coaching cues and teaching progressions, you'll learn from the world renowned and scientifically based performance enhancement training methods developed by Coach Peter Twist who has led the development of 2,000 pro and Olympic athletes over a storied career.

Based on 30 years of practical experience working with sport science teams and their elite athletes, combined with industry leading research, and as taught by 100+ TWIST Master Teachers in 33 countries, you can trust this digital course bringing Coach Twist direct-to-you for it's safe and effective methodology. It's a riskier time for young athletes watching fun "circus tricks for Likes" on IG and Tik Tok, yet not at all like pro athletes train to prevent injury, stay off the sidelines and become their very best in high level Long Term Athlete Development Programs.

In this course you will learn a series of key SAQ drills that develop the 360 degree physicality athletes need to dominate time and space on the field, court and ice. During each drill you'll listen to the most important lessons for improving athletic mechanics and executing drills with speed, quickness and agility. You'll gain proven effective words that cue athletes HOW to move through the drills with purpose and skill.

To set you up for successful SAQ training, you first study Plyometrics, which are the most important technique to all "get fast" goals. The modules are brief to trim out all the fat and get you right into what most matters for success on the training floor. Plyometrics cover the A to Z from getting started right through to peak power drills.

SAQ performance requires physical improvement, physiological adaptation, brain integration and mechanical proficiency. We reverse engineer from these sciences to produce a simple recipe of training drills and how-to-coach principles that ensure the right kind of improvement is achieved, safely, and, for sustainable high performance.

With the lessons you learn during execution of key exercises, you'll feel more confident coaching any SAQ drills. Aligned with an athlete's true measure of competitive performance, each of the 4 modules focuses on the key practical fundamentals of high caliber athleticism.
