Positive Power Revisited

In this episode of The Coach Dave Love Podcast, we revisit one of the most important concepts in shooting mechanics: Positive and Negative Power. Matt Robertson and I break down how these forces shape shooting form and how they connect to ecological approaches to motor learning.

We explore:

• What Positive and Negative Power actually mean in shooting mechanics
• How these concepts align with an Ecological Dynamics framework for skill development
• The many parts of the shooting motion that can create both Positive and Negative Power
• How understanding these forces helps coaches make better intervention decisions

Whether you're working with youth players or elite shooters, this episode will reshape how you think about energy transfer and shooting mechanics.
