I once fell into the trap of heavy strength is needed to improve speed and “stronger” athletes are faster athletes. But boy was I ever wrong, over the last few years I have figured out what is “strong enough”. In rugby 7’s speed is one of the most important KPI’s. (1/5)

Notre Dame DB Coach Aaron Henry dropping truth on modern coaching

Care first. Make it fun (games, colors, analogies)

Meet them where they are. Then push hard

This is how the best coaches & programs build real buy-in

Old school coaches — watch this.

Year 2 in the NBA G League — complete.

Big lesson: performance isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what matters—consistently.

In a fast-paced environment, success comes down to alignment between performance, medical, and coaching.

Year 3 loading.

Another massive study showing ~90% of top youth performers never reach adult elite status—perfect timing for parents eyeing those summer elite club lacrosse tryouts for 8-12 year olds…..

@TKPhysPrep I tell people this all the time lol.

The best guide I’ve found on how strong is “strong enough”. Based on 6 years of collegiate football data from @CoachKStrength. Credit @coachwellmanphd and our staff at Indiana for the chart. Max strength is very important but the ceiling on transfer might be lower than we think.

@fbcoachsimpson That’s what happening here in Canada. High school teams are getting cut by schools and everyone is going to the club level.

Had a great time learning and competing at the Gridiron Showcase this weekend.
Here are my results and some clips from the combine. Pink shorts, #45.

When we look at the frequency studies with low workout volumes, we see indications of superior hypertrophy with higher training frequency.

[Myles Murphy @myles_physio]

Ever wondered why people with pain and injury might struggle to improve their muscle strength or capacity despite exercise rehabilitation?

We go into some of the neurophysiological reasons in our new @BMJOpenSEM viewpoint 💪🏻

💪 New Research Alert: Hamstring Hypertrophy 💪

Exciting new study comparing two popular hamstring exercises: Nordic Hamstring Training (NHT) vs. Lengthened State Eccentric Training (LSET).

Which one boosts muscle size and strength more? Let's dive in! 🧵👇

🏋️‍♂️ Methodology:

42 healthy young males
12-week training program
Groups: NHT, LSET, and control (CON)
Measured muscle volume via MRI and knee flexion torque

📈 Results: Muscle Hypertrophy

LSET increased overall hamstring size by +18% vs. NHT’s +11%
BFlh muscle volume: +19% for LSET vs. +5% for NHT
Larger increase in BFlh aponeurosis area with LSET (+9% vs +3%)

💥 Strength Gains:

Maximum eccentric torque increased by +17% with LSET vs. +11% with NHT and +4% with CON

🏃‍♂️ Training Insights:

LSET is more effective for muscles involved in both knee flexion & hip extension
NHT better targets knee flexors not involved in hip extension
LSET may enhance sprint performance & reduce hamstring injuries

🏆 Conclusion:

For superior hamstring hypertrophy & strength, LSET is the winner!

Athletes & coaches should consider integrating LSET into training routines for optimal performance and injury prevention.

Comparison of ground reaction force profiles between…

📌 Max Deceleration (5.9 x BM)
📌 Max Sprint Velocity (4.4 x BM)
📌 Max Acceleration (2.2 x BM)

Intense deceleration/braking is the most mechanically demanding activity athletes are exposed to‼️
