These videos have been posted here so athletes can familarise themselves with the exercises and routines involved.
Please note that these exercises represent only a portion of the exercises we use to prevent injury, promote recovery and improve technique and general strength. Similarly, we do not use every execise on every video on this page. The exercises we use have been chosen to fulfil particular roles in the training programme, they are not just any old exercises picked off the internet! These videos have been posted here because they largely show the exercises being correctly performed.
You SHOULD NOT jump in to doing these routines! Your coach will advise you when to include them as part of your overall training, along with all the other elements of a balanced programme. When you do these, please remember that quality and correct technique is of upmost importance.
