Notes: Efforts from a coaching/teaching standpoint today will revolve around using the Perform Better bands and barefoot squatting during warm-up sets to help athletes establish or advance their kinesthetic awareness of body mechanics and the motor unit recruitment patterns/pathways critical to developing a true proficiency across all of the squat movements we incorporate in training.
