Hip Mobility for Water Polo Athletes

This page will be the start of information related to hip mobility so that we can improve athletic performance and reduce injury. To avoid hip injury make sure you stretch and strengthen your shoulder properly. Include a dynamic warmup before getting in the pool and try to warm up your passing going from simple movements to more complex full body movements. Also make sure to do your SMR exercises daily so that you avoid problems, don't wait until you have problems to start these.

These two videos cover the couch stretch in a more advanced setting with bands to get more out of the stretch:

Croatia - USA, water polo WC 2009, bronze medal game

They take a good portion of this video to look at the ladies in the stands, and I am pretty sure I heard "Sweet Chest" in spanish, but there is also some good water polo in this clip. Check out Azavedo's shot on the quick after the ejection at 1:20. Croatia has some good outside shoots in this game.
