Totally agree with you. It was in my head because I had just used the exercise with a patient that day (not for soccer!).

What exercise would you use to eccentrically strengthen the hams in the kicking position?

Also, there is alot of talk about the quads but my impression was that the adductors and hip flexors were working more than the quads, which seem to work in the last part of the sequence. It would be like getting tiger woods to concentrate more on his wrist rotators than his trunk stabilisers and prime movers...

Thoughts?
