2011 D Rose

<< < (2/2)

FP:
Yeah i think this hits a lot of the points, especially talking about balance, coordination and natural movement variety. Ive always been ass at dancing, my working memory and balance are kinda pretty bad to learn movements well. I need a lot of time to get even simpler moves down and i dont have the natural rhythm especially coordinating complex movements with music is tough.

My take is to just bang out a bunch of dot drill variations almost in a conditioning manner - builds sport specific endurance, is pretty plyometric, trains balance and it absolutely murders all the small stabilizer muscles in the legs and hips and hits the ankles pretty hard too.

But i guess dancing works too ;D

FP:
Revisiting this thread, I've come a long way! I think I have developed my own style, heavily inspired by D Rose.

Had a recent tourney where I did all the right stretches in the right order, and my vertical was potentiated a lot and it reminded me of a similar kind of bounce that D Rose has. However my footwork dropped off, some of my PCL torn left leg limitations became more pronounced with this style.

I think something else to mention is his developed mid back (a quality I have been working on lately, but have over time developed a more mobile mid back to assist with frisbee movements), which I believe is a point of stability for a lot of his movements.

Something for me to keep working on (that is less developed for me) is ankle inversion and eversion and coordinated movements using those sorts of ankle angles to change direction.
