NSCA - Training videos
Using Dartfish® Video Analysis Software, the NSCA will feature a new training tip each month. This state of the art software enables coaches, trainers, and teams to capture a lift, movement, or an entire game and receive instant feedback, from an integrated video clip. Each video contains an analysis view and a slideshow view along with a list of muscles involved in the lift and related comments.  There are also printable pictures of the key positions for each lift.

This months training tip is The Overhead Squat .  The Overhead Squat is an exercise that requires the athlete to hold barbell overhead while squatting through a full range of motion. In order to accomplish this, the athlete must stabilize the torso and shoulder complex to keep the bar in a static position overhead. The ability to properly stabilize the torso is imperative while engaging in athletics. Therefore, the Overhead Squat can be an effective tool for enhancing one's athletic performance.
