As trainers or coaches we spend a great deal of time breaking down movements, trying to find parts we can “train” or improve. Watching this vintage film of Sugar Ray Robinson prepare for a fight, it struck me that the training isn’t complex or complicated, movements aren’t broken down or over analyzed. Fluid motion, changes of direction, acceleration/deceleration, stability from the core radiating out (the medicine ball throws at his abdomen were and incredible display of balance and trunk stability). Amazing.
