The “position of readiness” cannot be overemphasized in its importance to executing ball skills.Now there's a picture in the document which I assume is the "position of readiness". They're a little unclear on this if you ask me. Regardless, I agree that you can't execute a skill without being physically prepared. Now, how to you work on this "position of readiness"? This leads to a quote I found quite useless:
The foundations to any “position of readiness” are the non-locomotor and locomotor actions.Doesn't that pretty much cover every conceivable action? I have to laugh. Oh well. So I'm still trying to discern what I should do to coach the boys to improve their "position of readiness". They say we should expose them to "movement education". After that, they get into some details on proper running and jumping techniques. They don't really go into any details on how to train my little boys on these techniques. Folks, stating the end result is easy; finding fun ways to coach this is the hard part. How about a little help here? No matter, I've got some ideas I need to try out. I'll let you know how those go.
