I work with my client to identify weakness and fixing mechanics by implementing workouts that will improve these areas. A typical day with start off with introducing myself explain the benefits of my training and what it will do to achieve your goals.
Usually we start off with a light warmup. jogging a lap around athletic field or turf. Then we go into many different dynamic stretches especially focusing on the area where my client feels need more attentions.
Next phase we will get in speed quickness and agility drills. These usually help with range of motion and athlete coordination.
Next phase I will introduce designated workout that was prior discuss with athlete based on there objectives and goals.

I have had only two sessions with Coach Dwitghtt1 and I learned techniques that have already improved my form and speed. I wish I had gotten him sooner; I have less than two weeks before my competition.
