Why Is Muscle Memory Important For Goal Kicking? | @rugbybricks | How Body Train For Rugby Kicking?

2.1 RECRUITING THE RIGHT MUSCLES IS KEY. One of the big mistakes I see in kicking coaching is the lack of detail around a full range of kicking motion. A full backswing recruiting the posterior oblique sling is where we can get the best results for power and distance. Learn to store energy behind the ball with these body training drills.
2.2 MUSCLE MEMORY. Even the simplest everyday actions involve a complex sequence of contracting and relaxing many different muscles. For most of these actions we have had repeated practice over our lifetime, meaning that these actions can be performed faster, more smoothly and more accurately. Over time, with continual practice, actions as complicated as riding a bike, kicking a ball, or even playing a tune on a musical instrument, can be performed almost automatically and without thought.
2.3 MAX POWER - LONG RANGE KICKING. I compare goal kicking to an olympic weight lifting movement. There are many little things to develop and work on which makes it look simple to the untrained eye and just like the power clean when it clicks, it feels smooth. Having a max kick for long range shots at goal and exit kicks from your own try line is a huge asset to have in your kicking tool box.
