Some Insight to Andrea Hudy's Training Methods

sometimes these videos are posted months after the fact. I don’t think that video is current.

A little detective work is in order here. In the video, Christyn is pictured with her new hairstyle, something she didn’t show up with unti after returning to campus following winter break, which was also following Paige’s injury vs ND.

So unless UConn went to the trouble of splicing together a bunch of different videos of different players from different days, Paige is, in fact, recently pictured doing pull-ups without a knee brace.

This. Coupled with Azzi's boot being off and Aubrey being nowhere to be found, along with Mir, makes me think this is current.

Yao had the same injury as Paige, I believe had surgery, and was back playing in ten weeks. Piage had surgery 7 weeks ago. It seems fair that she could very well be without that knee brace.

good point about the Christyn hairstyle

Nice article on Andrea Hudy's training methods at UConn. I found several comments in the article very interesting. "Her evaluations of athletes no longer centered on the amount of weight an athlete could lift, or even how strong they were compared to others, but instead on how each athlete's force production - how fast someone lifts a barbell, at what point they hit fatigue - determined individual strength." When it comes to overworking and the risk of injury: "Hudy, informed by her own experience as a student-athlete, constantly tells players and especially underclassmen to take days off and limit extra reps to avoid injury risk.”

Does UCONN's training methods resemble CrossFit Training methods? If they do, then perhaps this is why UCONN is experiencing so many injuries. See below:

The short answer is no. CrossFit WADs (workout of the day) are essentially high intensity, competitive sequences of multiple excercises done as quickly as possible. Similar to circuit training, that type of workout can result in bad technique and injury.

Andrea Hudy’s workouts are far more focused, promoting flexibility and proper technique, while working through a full range of motion.
