Most athletes are stronger than they can currently express. Output is often limited by neural inhibition (protective “brakes”), not muscle size or “capacity.” avelin is a high-speed, high-force skill that demands two things at once: (1) the ability to create and accept large forces in very short time windows, and (2) the ability to keep those forces organized through alignment, rhythm, and sequencing. The hardest part is that the nervous system is constantly deciding how much force it will allow you to express. /* Scoped to .jb-ikai-post

For those who do not know much about me, in addition to being a javelin thrower and coach, for almost the last 20 years, I have also worked as a design engineer at a major aerospace and defense contractor. I have come to realize that the strategic approach that is taken to design multi-billion dollar marvels of engineering (think NASA Spacecraft) from the ground up is quite similar to the approach top Olympic coaches and athletes take to achieve their athletic dreams. Engineers call this approach the Systems Engineering “V.” For those
