Why It Matters

Skill shows up when the body can deliver it.

A better first step, a controlled landing, a faster change of direction — athleticism is what lets skill work translate to the game. SOAR builds both in the same plan.

What athletes work on

  • Moving efficiently in game positions
  • Jumping and landing with control
  • Getting downhill and stopping under control
  • Holding movement quality deep into a game
