Shoulder Blades and Head Turns

The ATeam is thinking tossing, paddling, hitting things with sticks, reaching. All kinds of fun spring and summer activities.

We’ve been exploring finding power in shoulder blades. This lesson is about connecting head movements with shoulder blades and even the pelvis. With one hand on the forehead and the other behind the head, check out how the shoulder blades and elbows move with the head, and when you need to look the other way.

Jakob demonstrated how he would use this head/shoulder connection in tossing a disk. Mary was thinking paddling a kayak. Natasha was on her bike - looking over her shoulder to bike safely in traffic. Soccer coach Tim was on the field, thinking about how before any pass a player looks behind.
