dominant movement patterns.
•
Exercise variations.
•
Appropriate progressions.

Assessing power imbalances through plyometric exercises.

Advanced training methods including the use of external load

What others have said
about the Plyometric Training Series Series!
Excellent! Much more useful than a catalogue of
exercises, which is what most other sources are.
Like most of your materials, the time is devoted to
information that isn't available elsewhere. I
enjoyed and benefited from the student-teacher
interaction.
