Personalized attention, research backed advanced methods, and the right team behind every player to make sure they have all the resources to compete at the highest level each season. ‼️🏀🏁✨#nba As Director of Performance, my primary focus is on: • Player health & safety 🏥 • Assessments, strength & conditioning 💪 • ESD(Energy System Development) Conditioning🏁 • Post-rehab skill work & transitional training 🔥 • Load management & recovery 🧠🧘 • Tracking & monitoring performance 📊 • Daily planning with @cbrickley603 for individual ✨ • Collaborating with tactical coaches 🎯 • Providing continued support all season long 🏆 Can’t wait to see all the hard work and dedication on the floor this @nba season ‼️🥋🏁✨ #dojo #mikeatkinson #strengthcoach #BlackOps #PerformanceDirector #PlayerDevelopment #NBA #TrainLikeAPro #ElevateYourGame #StrengthAndConditioning #Recovery #GameReady

3 months agoUnlock Full Range: Shoulder Flexion & Thoracic Mobility 🥋✨ PRO TIP ‼️⬇️‼️⬇️‼️ 🗣️For athletes experiencing limited shoulder flexion and restricted follow-through during a jump shot, biomechanical imbalances are often the root cause. ☯️Tightness in the anterior chain (chest, front delts) and weakness in the posterior chain (back, scapular stabilizers) can lead to limited shoulder flexion, affecting overhead movement patterns like shooting. 🔑Biomechanics First: • Shoulder Flexion Stability: Crucial for control, power, and a fluid follow-through. Without sufficient stability, athletes may compensate and lose efficiency in overhead movements. • Thoracic Mobility w/ Rotation: Unlocks range of motion in the shoulder by allowing for proper alignment and reducing compensatory actions in the lower back or hips. 🧠 Scientific Support: Research shows that scapular stability and thoracic mobility are key for optimal shoulder mechanics, especially in overhead actions like shooting. Imbalances—such as anterior dominance and posterior weakness—can reduce functional shoulder flexion (Kibler et al., 2013; Cools et al., 2007). Additionally, restoring thoracic mobility is essential for maintaining proper shoulder alignment and function (Edwards et al., 2002). 🥋✨Training Focus: • Banded Shoulder Flexion Drills: Activates posterior muscles and scapular stabilizers, promoting healthy shoulder mechanics and improved flexion (Cools et al., 2007). • Thoracic Rotational Drills: Enhances thoracic mobility to support full shoulder range, improving overall shooting form (Edwards et al., 2002). 💥 Incorporating these drills into your routine will help improve range, control, and power in your jump shot follow-through.‼️🥋🎯 #MikeAtkinsonCSCS #AthleteMobility #ShoulderStability #ThoracicMobility #Biomechanics #StrengthToMovement #ResearchBackedTraining #nstnct
