Sticking your tailbone out.

Vaguely remembered the article by Russian coach who went to Mexico for coaching. He passed away a year or two ago. In one of his articles, he talked about active stance and passive stance. He mentioned he shot better with active stance.

Today, it dawned on me that, sticking your tailbone out, is exactly what the old Russian coach is talking about in his active shooting stance discussion. He talked about forward center gravity and all that; it did not make much sense to me at that time.

After reading this NPR report, that active shooting stance makes full sense to me now.

What he meant was, stick your tailbone out.

Come to think about it, the old coach mentioned some Russian team trained in the sitting position during training.

I tried that sitting training while back with no evidence based result.

Come to think about it, I was sitting all wrong.

Now this new sitting straight up, with tailbone sticking out, should provide much better platform for training. I am excited about this sitting shooting.
