[Supertraining] If it ain't broke don't fix it? carruthersjam Tue Jun 23 12:01:14 2009
Please view the below video clip. Zoe Smith is a 14-year-old weightlifter, has broken almost 100 records to become Britain's strongest girl. Note the "flaws" in execution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIBVZJBDVys&feature=channel_page Zoe is able to perform this movement "efficiently" and painlessly. The snatch performance has similar "flaws". The body's attempts to enhance stability and mobility to suit that given individual at any given moment. Ken Jakalski noted: Of course, we want to offer skills corrections when we believe kids have deviated from a prescribed model, but are these deviations necessarily 'flaws in execution,' or, as Mel often remarked, "simply the means by which those athletes need to translate the skill of the activity" based upon unique asymmetries, attachment points, and neurological hard-wiring" that we haven't even identified"?" I'm intrigued to find out how members would tackle such a case? If assessments were to be carried out what would they involve - please cite relevant references to support your statements.
