Biomechanical Analysis Table Phase Image Key Elements Related Biomechanical Principles Observation Plan Preliminary Movements: Player begins to track on an angle to the defender’s right hip. Dribbling should take the player outside the right foot of the defender’s starting position. 1 – Left hand at the top of the stick with right hand at the bottom of the grip. 2 – V-grip down the spine of the stick. 3 – Knees bent with chest up. 4 – Eyes looking up to see both the ball and the defender. 5 – Stick at a angle to the ground. 6 – Ball between 11 and 1 o’clock. #1 – Low center of gravity to create a stable base. The line of gravity is close to the center of the base of support. Observe face on to player to see ball position and all of the key elements listed. Look for player to be dribbling on an angle towards the right hip of the defender (player should be dribbling left). Look for player to be going at speed. Look for player’s eyes to scan field. Backswing Movements: The stick rotates over the ball from the right side in the Preliminary Movements to the left side of the ball. 1 – Left wrist rotates the stick from the top while the right wrist only guides the stick. 2 – V-grip, but now down the back spine of the stick 3 – Ball should be outside the attacker’s left foot (it is not in the ball should be one #1 – Low center of gravity to create a stable base. #2 – The production of maximum force requires the use of all joints that can be used. To pull the ball firmly back to the right of our body, we want to engage the right shoulder coming Observe face on to see ball position, key elements and engaging distance from the defender. Focus on the ball coming past the right foot of the defender and outside the attacker’s left foot (to sell that the carrier is dribbling
