00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.280
This video is recalibrating your path.

2
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:08.260
So as you're going through the program and as you're working on your movements,

3
00:00:08.260 --> 00:00:08.320
what

4
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:13.280
can happen is when you start applying a new movement, your contact will either

5
00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:13.840
get better

6
00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:14.840
or get worse.

7
00:00:14.840 --> 00:00:20.230
Now, when your contact gets worse, that's frequently going to be related to

8
00:00:20.230 --> 00:00:20.960
having path

9
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:21.960
issues.

10
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.240
So what can happen is let's say I'm used to spinning my upper body and

11
00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:27.600
extending my arms

12
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.040
and my brain knows that path pretty well.

13
00:00:30.040 --> 00:00:34.390
And then I start working on this, you know, Jackson 5 and motorcycle and some

14
00:00:34.390 --> 00:00:34.960
of these

15
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.840
key movements that help give me a better way of producing the path.

16
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:45.560
And I'm able to do it at slow speeds, but then as I work my way up, I start to

17
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:46.120
lose

18
00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:47.120
it.

19
00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:50.910
So as I start to apply more and more speed, my brain wants to apply force the

20
00:00:50.910 --> 00:00:51.320
way that

21
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:52.520
it's done it in the past.

22
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:59.720
And so what you can do is you can use the gate drill, the four square, the line

23
00:00:59.720 --> 00:01:00.600
drill,

24
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:05.530
the two T drill, anything that has objects and where all my focus becomes the

25
00:01:05.530 --> 00:01:06.080
path of

26
00:01:06.080 --> 00:01:10.640
the club down at the bottom to make sure that I'm making this movement correct.

27
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:17.440
I'll share a quick story about a student who was telling me that he was hitting

28
00:01:17.440 --> 00:01:18.080
these

29
00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:23.420
big left to right shots and then he started working on the motor, or he started

30
00:01:23.420 --> 00:01:24.120
working

31
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.680
on the Jackson 5 and the motorcycle and he was still hitting left to right

32
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:28.440
shots.

33
00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:30.400
And I told him that that's not possible.

34
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:33.760
If you make those movements, the path will change.

35
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:40.120
And so what we did was we put a head cover on the ground basically to, similar

36
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:40.760
to the

37
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:45.530
gate drill, so we put a head cover on the ground just so that he couldn't come

38
00:01:45.530 --> 00:01:48.160
from the outside.

39
00:01:48.160 --> 00:01:49.560
So we'll put it right about there.

40
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.780
And basically what he found was he thought he was side bending, but he was

41
00:01:53.780 --> 00:01:54.280
really just

42
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.280
keeping this shoulder high and so it wasn't necessarily changing.

43
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:03.660
So as you become better and better and more aware of these different movements,

44
00:02:03.660 --> 00:02:04.240
you'll

45
00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:09.460
need less feedback, but at first you may need some feedback so that you know

46
00:02:09.460 --> 00:02:10.520
that the movement

47
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:15.340
you're trying to make is having the effect that you're trying to have.

48
00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:20.730
So you can use objects on the ground to help you recalibrate your movements and

49
00:02:20.730 --> 00:02:21.480
make sure

50
00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:25.690
that your path isn't getting too lost when you're working on some of these new

51
00:02:25.690 --> 00:02:26.120
movements

52
00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:26.720
in our program.
