ABOUT POWER TRAINING

Power is defined as energy, force or momentum. Foot ball, volley ball and basketball are some examples of sports requiring power. If you're a lineman or lead blocker, power can give you that extra second in protecting your quarter back or making a key tackle. Both volley ball and basketball require powerful vertical to finish plays above and close to the net. If I had a choice for one power workout for these specific sports...the medicine ball toss would be it! Try taking a medicine ball and jump up as high as you can with the ball above your head and either pass it forward or smash it down to the ground about ten times as fast as you can and as hard as you can. If you can do more...awesome! Think sport specific.
