An athlete demonstrates chronic hamstring injury risk during lateral change-of-direction movements. Based on biomechanical understanding, which coaching modification is most appropriate?
A. Focus on trunk control and adequate pelvic positioning to reduce excessive eccentric lengthening forces during the braking phase
B. Eliminate change-of-direction work to prevent injury
C. Increase the velocity of training to strengthen the hamstrings through overload
