Doc's Tip of the Evening -- Core Strength

If you want your core and back to get as strong as a donkeykong, first learn how to properly do a back squat. Then, build up to a working set of 20 (twenty) back squats where your quadriceps are parallel to the floor (minimum) at the bottom of the movement AND your heels are on the ground. Now, the kicker is to be able to squat 1.25X (times)your BODYWEIGHT twenty times in perfect form. lgwp

Doc's Tip of the Evening -- Double Hop Approach

When attacking a short low ball to transition to the net learn to use the double hop method as a component to keep your body momentum moving forward. The double hop method is when you step into the ball with your front foot whilst still on balance but after you hit the ball you hop or skip forward on your front foot (same foot) then continue moving into the service box area to do the split step. The two things you must do well to make this method work are balance when stepping into the ball and staying turned with your shoulders when contacting the ball. Also, this transition method will probably be done only on low balls. afdd
