THURSDAY TRAINING TIP- ACCELERATION: THE FOUNDATION OF SPEED πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

One of the biggest mistakes I see athletes make when trying to get faster is focusing on top speed and ignoring acceleration.

In most sports, you rarely sprint 100 metres.

You need to be able to explode off the mark, win the first few steps, and create separation from your opponent.

Acceleration is your ability to go from 0 to top speed as quickly as possible.

Whether you play AFL, soccer, basketball, rugby, or combat sports, improving your acceleration can be a game changer.

Common mistakes:
❌ Standing too upright too early
❌ Taking short, choppy steps
❌ Not producing enough force into the ground
❌ Only doing conditioning and neglecting strength training

To improve acceleration:
βœ… Build lower body strength
βœ… Develop explosive power
βœ… Practice sprint starts
βœ… Focus on powerful forward body angles
βœ… Push the ground away with intent

Remember, speed isn’t just about moving your legs faster, it’s about producing force and applying it effectively.

The athletes who accelerate best are often the athletes who can produce the most force relative to their body weight.

WEDNESDAY HIP MOBILITY: WHY IT MATTERS 🦡

One of the biggest mistakes I see is people thinking they need to spend 30 minutes stretching to improve their hip mobility.

The truth is, mobility is about having control through a range of motion, not just being flexible.

Good hip mobility can help:
βœ… Improve squat depth
βœ… Reduce unnecessary stress on the lower back
βœ… Improve running mechanics
βœ… Enhance athletic performance
βœ… Make everyday movement easier

Common mistakes:
❌ Only stretching and never strengthening ie loading
❌ Holding stretches for too long without purpose
❌ Ignoring hip mobility until pain appears
❌ Not training through a full range of motion

My favourite approach is combining mobility with strength.

Exercises such as:

βœ”οΈ couch stretch
βœ”οΈ seated straight leg raises
βœ”οΈ Squat Holds
βœ”οΈ Hip Openers
βœ”οΈ Cossack Squats

Just 5–10 minutes a few times per week can make a huge difference.

πŸ₯© TUESDAY NUTRITION -PROTEIN TARGETS: ARE YOU EATING ENOUGH? πŸ₯©

One of the biggest mistakes I see when people are trying to lose body fat, build muscle, or improve performance is not eating enough protein.

Protein isn’t just for bodybuilders.

It’s essential for:
βœ… Building and maintaining muscle
βœ… Recovery from training
βœ… Keeping you fuller for longer
βœ… Supporting healthy ageing
βœ… Improving body composition

A good starting point for most active people is around 1.5-2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day.

For example:
100 kg person = 150–200gm protein per day

Common mistakes:
❌ Skipping protein at breakfast
❌ Saving all your protein for dinner
❌ Not tracking intake
❌ Relying on supplements instead of real food

My recommendation:
Aim to include a quality protein source at every meal:
πŸ₯š Eggs
πŸ₯© Lean meats
🐟 Fish
πŸ₯› Greek yoghurt
πŸ§€ Dairy
🌱 Legumes
πŸ₯€ Protein powder when needed

πŸ”₯ MONDAY STRENGTH TRAINING TIP
: HIP THRUST πŸ”₯

If you’re looking to build stronger glutes, improve sprint speed, jump higher, or reduce your risk of injury, the hip thrust should be part of your program.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is people rushing the movement and failing to fully lock out at the top. Slow down, squeeze your glutes hard, and control the movement from start to finish.

βœ… Builds glute strength
βœ… Improves athletic performance
βœ… Supports lower back health
βœ… Carries over to running, jumping, and lifting

Coaching cue:
β€œDrive through your heels and squeeze your glutes at the top for 1-5 seconds .”

My recommendation:
3-4 sets of 4-12 reps depending on training goals

Have you got hip thrusts in your current program?
