ISOLATION TRAINING

Isolation Training Introduction



Isolation training is a form of training that is used by many of the top coaches and players worldwide, but is still a “secret” to the majority of the rest. Simply, by isolating parts of your body, the rest of the body has to super-compensate to work efficiently.

This form of training is ideal for working on imbalances and weaknesses in the players physical make up. It is also a great tool for removing inhibitions and players embarrassment, in doing new and unusual drills or movements.
Using the analogy of a car, you can be a high powered, sleek, aerodynamically perfect (Ferrari) car, but if you try and drive with the handbrake on (mental inhibitions or embarrassment), you will never perform to your optimum capabilities.

Using a series of drills and movements, either as training forms on their own, or as an adjunct to another scheme, isolation training is a very powerful, and result producing training philosophy.
