About this course

You cannot recoil through a hip that does not extend or an ankle that does not give. This programme builds the range first, then the stiffness, then the rate — in that order, because doing it in any other one produces a player who is strong and slow.

Weeks one to six need a floor and a wall. Weeks seven to twelve want a gym but adapt without one.
