It recommends breaking SAQ training into segments focusing on the upper body, core, and lower body. It also provides progressions for mechanical drills and exercises that can be incorporated into SAQ sessions to develop speed and explosiveness, including exercises like clock hops, hurdles, and bounding. The document emphasizes establishing proper movement patterns and structuring SAQ sessions to progressively challenge players through chunking, combining movements, and introducing randomization.
