Before you perform these drills with the ladder make sure you do a complete warm-up with scapula prehabilitation exercises! These drills are great for scapula strength and stability. The shoulder girdle needs to be set, retracted, before executing the drills. Click Here

I like these drills because they are sport specific and help the athlete develop the specific skills and footwork essential for football. Click Here

Notice the length/reach Ian Thorpe gets in each swim stroke. Free style swimming is about getting the most out of each stroke and working the technique throughout. The speed in the water from the stroke happens when you pull under the water, much like acceleration occurs in sprinting when you aggressively push on the ground. If you want to be fast in the water and on dry land you need to strength train and speed train. Pulling and pushing takes strength, you must develop this in the weight room and build speed through proper mechanics. Olympics here we come 2012!
