Stretching
Training
Matthew Barber Asked 9 years ago
Hello Pingskills,
I love your website and am improving because of your videos. I have one question. When I am warming up, how should I stretch (before training)?
Thank you!

Hi Matthew,
It is best to do dynamic stretches before training. Dynamic means moving stretches, rather than static stretches where you stretch and hold a position for a few seconds.
An example of a dynamic stretch is to rotate your arms around in big circles.

The Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.

two questions:
for static stretching-is it just less effective or bad in some way?
and-how to dynamically stratch legs?
Thanks
Static stretches are not bad, just for warming up before play dynamic stretches are more effective.
It is good to do static stretches at the end of the training session.
To dynamically stretch the legs you can stand and do some kicks or swimming of your legs.
