Coach,
Fantastic article in this months Dolfzine! I think this can greatly help an industry which is in total confusion right now. The almost religious belief in so called "functional" training is just scary. It is nice when someone espouses simple yet insightful science to a controversial subject.

On a somewhat separate note. How long would you expect someone move through the progressions of the four corner drill you listed? I understand this would be dependant upon many factors such as consistency, starting level, etc.

BTW, I wanted to share a nice piece of information. This afternoon one of my young basketball players was trying to beat his personal best vertical jump (important no, motivational yes!). He was stuck at 28 inches until I had him perform several of the foot mobility drills. Just seconds later he hit a 31 inch vertical! Shocked, enthusiastic, and a lot more interested in doing those "weird looking" drills, as they call it:)

Josh, for some reason I missed your question before. Do you mean rate of progression in development from Beginner to Intermediate to Advanced to Elite, or do you refer to tempo moving through the Four Corners?

Coach Sonnon,
I was referring to the rate one would proceed through the progressions.
Thank you!

That's typically an individual thing, but I find people progress through the basic in one to three months, intermediate in four to six months and advanced in six to twelve months.
