Heavy or light sled work?
KEY FINDINGS (Xu et al., 2025)
•Very heavy loads (≥80% BM or ≥50% vdec) >>> light loads for sprint performance
•Threshold: >20.7% BM needed to beat unresisted sprints
•Light loads? Same as regular sprints for performance

The best effects were seen when the primer was performed within 8 hours of the sprint task. When the interval was longer than 20 hours, the effect was no longer significant.

Heavy lifts, jumps, resisted sprints, or short sprint

Priming is a short, high intensity exposure used before competition or testing to raise neuromuscular readiness without creating meaningful fatigue.

This systematic review/analysis looked at 15 studies and 262 highly trained athletes. The main takeaway was that priming can

Myofascial Stretching

A switch this year has been programming LDIs as clusters. Think 3 reps of 60on 15off vs 1 rep of 3 minutes. Much cleaner rep integrity.

Sprints, sleds, jumps, bounds, throws.

Push, pull, squat, hinge.

The majority of coaches use plyos for one reason…speed development.

Hurdle jumps. Drop jumps. Bounding. Prescribed from the first week of the annual plan, not just pre-competition.

That’s the same logic behind Speed Kills, a system built around the exercises and sequencing

Female athletes ages 14–18 are 4–6x more likely to tear an ACL than male athletes.

The earlier they learn to move well and build confidence in the weight room, the more that risk drops.

I train kids from every sport imaginable.

They all train as “athletes”

If a 7-14 year old gets more athletic - they’ll get better at their sport.
