Speed isn't one quality. Acceleration and top speed are different abilities that contribute to sprint performance. 🔶 Acceleration • Get up to speed quickly • Short sprints • Resisted sprints • Strength & power work ⚫ Top Speed • Reach max velocity • Flying sprints • Wicket runs • Reactive plyometrics Different qualities. Different training. Develop both to build a faster athlete. #SpeedDevelopment #SprintTraining #SportsPerformance #Coaching

Think an athlete needs to get stronger to jump higher? Not always. Movement restrictions may be limiting performance before strength becomes the problem. This article explores: • Ankle rocker • Jump mechanics • Force application • Vertical jump performance Read more: zurl.co/lKQyj #SportsPerformance #VerticalJump #StrengthConditioning

Want to time sprint reps with large groups of athletes? Coach Adam Vogel explains how he does it with the T-APEX.

The scoreboard changes everything. When athletes see their sprint times instantly: ✅ More competition ✅ Greater intent ✅ Better accountability ✅ Objective feedback Timing systems don't just measure speed. They help develop it.

Vertical Jump and RSI are not the same thing. 🏀 Vertical Jump = how much power an athlete can produce. ⚡ RSI (Reactive Strength Index) = how quickly they can use that power. Two athletes can jump the same height and have very different RSI scores. Why? Because RSI factors in ground contact time. The athlete who can absorb force and get back off the ground faster is demonstrating greater reactive strength. That's why testing both matters: ✅ Vertical Jump → Force & Power ✅ RSI → Reactivity & Elasticity A high jump doesn't always mean an athlete is highly reactive. A strong RSI doesn't always mean an athlete can produce high levels of force. The best athletes develop both. If you're looking to improve athlete testing, identify performance gaps, or build a more effective speed and power program, start a conversation with a SimpliFaster Coach. 👉 zurl.co/aFNPm #SportsPerformance #StrengthAndConditioning #RSI #VerticalJump #ReactiveStrength #SpeedTraining #Plyometrics #AthleteDevelopment #SimpliFaster

Does your neck training match the cockpit? Michael Richards explores a harness-and-luggage-scale approach to pilot neck training. The study is ongoing; injury and flight-performance benefits remain unproven. zurl.co/995Nz

Stop chasing maxes in November. The goal isn't a bigger squat. The goal is faster, more explosive athletes on game day. Velocity-Based Training helps coaches monitor readiness, manage fatigue, and maintain power when the season is on the line.

Most speed training focuses on straight lines. Most sport doesn't. Athletes spend a lot of time accelerating and maintaining speed on curves, arcs, and angles. Curvilinear sprinting may be one of the most overlooked components of game speed development. #SpeedTraining #SportsPerformance #GameSpeed #Sprinting

Hard to stay present? Ariel Hernandez shares his 30-day Shiftwave experience and its limits. A personal review, not a controlled trial. zurl.co/VjZrS

What does “lift heavy” actually mean? For maximal strength and gross force output, think roughly 75–90%, 1–3 RIR, or RPE 7–9 for most athletes. The last few reps should involve strain without becoming a true maximal effort. Equipment quotes: zurl.co/c8A2f

Strong athlete. Low jump. What should you train next? Nicholas Coleman explains how DSI can guide strength or explosive training without letting one score dictate the program. zurl.co/njkHm #StrengthAndConditioning #StrengthAndConditioning #SportsPerformance #ForcePlates

Want to get faster?  The intent of the sprint matters. Under the SAID Principle, training should reflect the quality you're trying to develop.  For speed and acceleration work, that means running each sprint rep at maximal effort. Train the quality you intend to target. Equipment quotes: zurl.co/ygyfM

Just a touch of a stimulus can be enough when on-field volume is already high.
