2 things ISOs have taught me . 1️⃣ 15 sec is a really long time 2️⃣ If you want muscles/tendons to get better in certain positions, you need to spend time there (like the SAID principle…) . Pleasantly surprised how much better my knees/achilles feel after this vs a regular warm up

‼️Didn’t take me long to steal this one⬇️⬇️⬇️ ✅Great for large groups since the band does some of the coaching for you ✅We paired it w/ a 5➡️10 YD Fly ➡️33% of athletes tied or broke their PR immediately

Highlighting the Banded A-Run (in place or moving) as a valuable 3 min weight room activation (3x5 sec or 5 yd) . ✅ High frequency sprint mechanics ✅ Sprint-specific hamstring strengthening ✅ High quality ground contacts for ankle stiffness . All you need is a buddy & a band

Manual Resistance . Great for: ✅ Ability to resist unique movement patterns/muscles ✅ Tool in your back pocket with (basically) no equipment needed, can be done anywhere ✅ Promotes camaraderie between teammates, aka “being a homie”

Bounding is easy, bounding well is hard . If you want to work on something, exaggerate it. During resisted sprints, my athlete was too focused on shapes (which looked good) and had good frequency, but stride length/push wasn’t there. Got 💡💡 spending time on the opposite feeling

As modifiable or not as sprint mechanics are (I think you can move the needle), I think it’s still valuable to pursue anyways. High quality ankle stiffness work, sprint-specific hamstring strengthening w/o the systemic fatigue, & total body coordination/movement challenges

Training is more similar than dissimilar, no matter what it is . Whether is me coaching speed or strength training, or reflecting back on my bodybuilding/powerlifting rabbit holes, concepts apply . Be a fan of a lot of stuff and it’ll make you better

Great chat w/ a friend about building overhead robustness. Here’s my checklist: -Posterior Tilt (Y exercises) -External Rotation -Protraction/Upward Rotation -Range of Motion -Time Under Tension (ie ISO’s) . Enough combos for 1-2 exercises/session & variations for multiple phases

Sport science: are you actually doing what you say you’re doing? AKA following the plan . Example: hitting something heavy (<0.5 m/s) every ~4 weeks in-season . Instead of guessing and just saying it felt heavy, hoping it was heavy enough, a VBT device objectively tells you

Although I believe variation is important for some exercise selection (ie accessories & speed drills), data collection needs consistency . Pick 1 to 2 tests for whatever it is then collect a bunch of frequent data points . The field goal is the same, just training for it can vary

Varied Rhythm . Some examples and the commonalities between them: ✅ Non-traditional movement pattern (unfamiliar variation) ✅ Multiple reps put together (at least 4 or 5) ✅ Thinking is required but too much thinking will result in poor execution

Simple/effective for condensing your data sets for analysis: correlation matrices . This helps reduce redundancy by showing which metrics are too related to evaluate both. Each metric is different (by definition), but this ⬆️ efficiency to find the least number of metrics needed
