Fundamentals of Acceleration in Football
by John Strollo
Description
In this course, John Strollo explains and illustrates the scientific principles behind the basic fundamentals for successful Offensive Line play.
In close quarters where momentum is limited, It’s harder to move "big guys".
Long Arms and legs give you top speed and reach, but cost quickness (acceleration) and mechanical advantage. You can’t move as much weight. By bending your arms and legs you gain quickness and enjoy mechanical advantage, so that you can move more weight. We call this playing “condensed”.
This advantage comes at the cost of reach, so you must develop some specific skills, similar to boxing, to prevent a long armed defender from “locking you out”. You must always maintain firm contact with the ground. You can’t move yourself or your opponent if your feet are slipping.
