VSP, MAP Coaching

This document outlines a MAP framework for coaching and assessing movement: Model - Establish a technical model of ideal movement kinetics and kinematics. Assess - Identify and prioritize how an athlete's movement differs from the model by analyzing action, angles/alignment, and activation. Problem Solve - Use drills, coaching feedback, and other tools to address the most important technical errors and guide the athlete from their current movement to the ideal movement.

We mould the methods to our athletes,

not the athletes to our methods.

MA-P
MODEL Kinetics & Kinematics

Coaching & Assessing


Movement
Movement Mapping

ASSESS Identify & prioritize differences


from technical model
PROBLEM SOLVE Identify drills &
cueing to improve technique

Model
What should it look like?

VELOCITY MODEL
This is the goal
Built on science
Proven in the field

Coaching Eye
How do you see that?
How do you know what to cue?

Technical Models

Warm- Up
Strength
Olympic Lifts
Base Positions
Cutting

Linear - Accel
Linear - Max V
Transit
Linking
Mobility

Assess
Where is Athlete?

Assess
1. Action
2. Angles / Alignment
3. Activation

What does good look like?

Coaches Skills
Coaching eye
Active watching
Specific Heirarchy

Improving Coaching Eye


Watch 10,000 live reps
Watch video reps
Review live to video

Action

Action

How is body moving?


What joints and muscle are moving?
Range of motion?
Exampes
Accel Pushing Piston like
Max Velocity Step over
Shuffle :pushing laterally, low recovery
Etc

ANGLES
ALIGNMENT

Angles & Alignment


What is alignment of:

Pelvic Spine - Head


What are the shin angles?
What is the angle of the center of mass
through the ground contact?
What is the ankle of the ankle at ground
contact?

ACTIVATION

Activation
Which muscles are causing motion?
Are they firing in right order & magnitude?

Problem solve

Which Problem?
1. Prioritize
What is most important error

How will you get the


athlete from where they
are to their destination?

2. Keep It Simple
One thing at a time

How to Correct?
Coaching Tools
1. Changing Qualities: strength qualities,
mobility, stability may need to be altered
2. Drill Selection: Allow the drill to reinforce
better technique
3. Coaching Feedback: Cueing, video
feedback, seeing technical model
