what's up everyone morey croson here from the performance lab of California and we got another
breakdown for you today on Killian and Bop a from France I've got a couple guys that have been
asking me for this break down here for a little bit and I'm glad and happy to finally be able to
do it yeah well go and hop right into it so you know one of the big things that stands out with
how Killian runs here is inside what he the ball just got kicked over him and so Killian is in blue
here and you can just see him kind of separate from everybody so the the big thing that stands
out is one thing he's very quick to get his spine in a good range of motion so he just basically got
going and you know from from the very GetGo he's already got the good spine position okay look
notice how the other guys I would say this guy also doesn't have a bad spine position but the
two other guys that he's right next to definitely aren't in as good of a brawl position and so in
comparison to two Killian here as he gets going on on the on the run some as as he gets going what
really stands out to me is really being able to drive his knees up to the same height as the hips
and then very quickly as he gets that foot coming down notice how as his foots coming down how well
his hip his hips are coming underneath him so what that does is it makes it so when he lands
he's very quickly able to push off and get a lot of force on that push off and then he doesn't let
those feet get stuck behind him too much so you notice again here he's he's getting off and he's
he's driving with that right leg and as he drives up with that right leg he pulls that that the rest
of his body forward as that right leg is going down towards the ground and this really helps
him in that acceleration phase okay so as he just because he's able to move his hips so well as his
momentum is going now he's going to be able to get much more turnover and really each one of his feet
okay so what's important here is really how much momentum he's getting with his hips and the way
seems to beginning that momentum is by being able to push off the ground in a way that makes it so
his body is able to maintain that that movement forward so when watch out when he pushes off with
his left leg see how much extension he gets and because he gets that extension then is able to
then push off and drive his leg forward now he lands in a position where look at how well his
foot and and hip her right underneath him and he's able to do that even though when he's extending
off look at how far back that foot is right there okay so that's a very unique thing being able to
push off that far add that foot right that far back behind his hip and then still be able to get
it all the way up and through see how that knee comes all the way up and through and then still
land back underneath him and that foot almost ends up in a position yeah I mean it's really
right underneath them I mean that's a right right what do you need that foot to land but he's still
able to cycle that that leg all the way up and through and make it so his foot is able to pull
back a little bit get a little bit of extension and pulled back but really most of his overall
speed comes from being able to push off so well and then still be able to drive those hips all
the way through as he's pushing off which is a very very unique skill to have in something that
is definitely interesting what sorry didn't mean to go back there so if we look for the front now
what I think is interesting is notice and will him go through one more time so notice here as he's
getting that that rotation how he he gets a full kind of rotation here with his upper body so he's
fully rotating here fully rotating here with his with his arms but he's still able to main a pretty
straight ahead movement with his hips are able to keep keep his hips facing straight ahead pretty
well also like bellybuttons able to face straight ahead pretty well then it's he transition notice
how he's how early he strains out that that left arm so that just means there's something going on
as he's pulling this arm back where he's able to still get into extension even though he's I
mean I obviously would never recommend having that arm straight so early so it definitely
doesn't look normal watch when he's gets going how he really send that that elbow super-early
and doesn't do that on the right side but does it a lot on the left side and it's definitely
interesting type of a movement but what it has to do is it has to help him stabilizing his hip
as he's moving so you know it would when he gets going you could see that his hips
end up definitely shifting as he drives through let's actually go forward go for this one here
so as you he's shifting this his his left hip through and is he's about to push off that right
leg what's happening is he's just able to cycle off of that right leg a lot sooner look at how
much rotation he's getting in that right arm or sorry that right leg and then really driving back
earlier with that left arm so he's stabilizing his pelvis here and then right after he stabilizes his
pelvis with that upper with the how he moves his spine and through his upper body so right here now
he's stabilized his shoulder stabilize his spine and I was gonna drive hard off that right leg so
what he does and usually what people do is they go in and get into a similar when they're an extended
position within the arm they're also about to go through extension of the leg and what he does is
he actually goes and extends his left arm first makes it so that arm and spine gets stable and
then creates force off the right leg in comparison even the left side notice how on the left side see
how he's getting to full extension on the left leg full extension on the left arm - those are
both happening at the same time but then when he goes back to this one and hopefully you'll
be able to get it yep well we did it so as he's going through see how he gets the full extension
the left arm first so now he's stabilizing his spine then he pushes off and drives off the
right leg so it's a little bit interesting and that that also has to be some type of mechanism
to make it so that pelvis ends up being in a good stable position as he's propelling himself forward
but you know a lot of it comes I'm and you know rightfully so as a soccer player you think this
but he definitely has a lot of hit power in his hips I mean that that is his driving force he
also doesn't have a super deep hip socket that his is within his pelvis so he's able to keep
his hips going forward he's able to be much more horizontal that way because if he doesn't lose
himself going so far backward it's like somebody likes a qualm Barkley who's definitely also done a
breakdown of who that has a little bit deeper hip socket he's a little bit more vertical when he's
running because he doesn't have to have as much of a give in in his hip socket because his hips
already built that way and bappa is the other way where he could be very very horizontal but
that doesn't affect him very much because his hips aren't as deep so he's still able to create a lot
of force very very quickly it doesn't affect him as much to have that that hip socket that's not
very deep all right as always guys let me know if you have questions and check out our online
