@MikeYoung discussing developing speed in team sport athletes: you don't need to train speed with the ball. @NSCA #NSCACon2023

@DelawareTrackXC @BooSchex Thanks. Unfortunately not had much time for social the past 2 years and have largely moved away from this platform for a host of reasons.

@TorqueFitness_ @les7spellman @Tony_Villani_ @MarkHoover71 Might need to work on improving strength (maximal & starting) & relative power. Early phase acceleration (especially <10m) is incredibly closely correlated with relative max strength values (i.e - how much do you squat relative to BW). This relationship lessens with every step.

Revisiting an email correspondence with @athleticlab @MikeYoung about the interference effect and how to mitigate it.

"Doing X,Y,Z will make you slow."..... hmmmmm

Interfere and dull High-CNS adaptations if you mis-pair yes. Make you slow? No

JUMP VARIABLES ✈️🆙☝🏾💥

Today a bit about the jumping variables a neat table from @MikeYoung slides I believe its very useful when deciding and ‘laddering’ the different jump options for training.

At age group level ⚽️, match day can actually be amongst lowest physical load days because minutes are split across so many players and “top-up” sessions are rarely used - david_johnson11 at @ltadnetwork conference
