Michelle Toy MS, CSCS on Instagram: "Bending Over ≠ Staying Low... READ WHY ⬇️ In acceleration, “lowness” isn’t created by dropping your chest — it’s created by how hard you push into the ground. The more power you can push back, the more your body naturally projects forward. That’s why faster athletes look lower out of the start — not because they’re folding over, but because they’re producing more horizontal force. In banded marches, focus on: • Creating a power angle • Pushing the ground away

Michelle Toy MS, CSCS on Instagram: "HAD TO BE THE LAST KID 😂 Coaching youth isn’t about saying more — it’s about saying it better. Clear cues. Show it while you say it. Ask questions so they’re thinking, not just moving. When kids understand the why, they move with confidence. Was it perfect? No. But 6 out of 7 nailed it — and that’s a win. Progress comes from clarity, patience, and making kids feel capable enough to try again. That’s how better movement sticks. #ToySoldierTraining #YouthAthle
