@tomjoycefitness: Change of direction (COD) and agility training are both necessary for athletic performance, but they’re not the same! 🤔 🧠 Agility is a rapid whole body movement with change of velocity or direction in response to a stimulus. In football that stimulus is usually an opponent defending or attacking. 🔄 Change of direction is pre-programmed movements that an athlete completes without any sudden reactionary movement required, and that is where is differs from agility. COD training lays the foundation for agility training and helps with eccentric strength for deceleration, body posture, limb angles, core engagement and force application for re-acceleration, which ultimately translates into better agility. The cognitive component of agility will create better instincts, reactions and more awareness on the pitch. 👣 If you want to be a better athlete, you need to be working on both COD and agility. Not only that, but the drills should be specific to the sport as well as the position! 💯 #BuiltNotBorn #ChangeOfDirection #Agility #Speed #COD #Football #Performance #Athlete #FYP #StrengthAndConditioning #Sport #Soccer #PremierLeague #Power @Anthony Elanga @Teden Mengi @Lulu•
