As a result, she’s ideally placed to provide her expertise on change direction performance and testing options, open and closed drills, what to look for in an athlete’s movement, and how to avoid ‘over coaching’ athletes. Molly naturally has excellent knowledge of how to specifically coach women, which she goes into here.
