Top 4 Ways to Build Stability in the Developing Athlete – Part 1

When building the foundation of a young athlete stability is essential! It’s not the most sought after attribute but it might be one of the most important attributes when it comes to building up an elite athlete! Here’s a quick breakdown of our top stability builders. We’ll be releasing a more in depth break down with exercises each week. 

 

Athletic Stability Builder 1 – Single Leg Exercises

Unilateral Strength

The ability to be strong on each leg individually is essential for elite athletes. This allows you to be strong and stable on both sides.

Right to Left Discrepancies

You’ll find out real quick if you have a right and left side discrepancy. Once you know if there is one you can start to train to create more symmetry in the body. This allows for you to be able to cut and be more explosive to both sides of the body. 

Weight Transfer Awareness

Single leg exercises give you a much better understanding of your awareness and understanding of how to transfer your weight. It’s easy to compensate to your strong side in double leg exercises. When it’s a single leg exercise that side is forced to understand how to be balanced and move efficiently!

Here’s a more in depth breakdown of how single leg exercises help increase your performance!

Best Single Leg Stability Builder – SL Squat Matrix

A simple yet tough single leg squat matrix that will help you take your stability to the next level! Start off with doing each exercise individually and then combine them together for the ultimate stability challenge!
