Chris Finn discusses the shift in golf from “good ol’ boy” science to an acceptance and understanding of the value of both data and performance training for speed and power.

While interest in physical education is currently high, many people view it in the context of sport performance training instead of as a foundation of child development. Coach Jeremy Frisch looks at PE and the importance of play and provides tips that can help young athletes have fun while they train for the future.

While muscle oximetry devices are most often utilized by endurance athletes to monitor steady state or repeated bouts of exercise, considerable evidence has provided a case for their use within the strength and power realm. John Abbott, a coach and physiologist, explains how using muscle oxygenation as an athlete-monitoring tool can benefit day-to-day training and provide insight on chronic adaptations.

This is the third and final installment of a series on the use and relevance of weightlifting exercises in today’s sports performance training, summarizing the content of several discussions between coaches Al Vermeil and Carl Valle.

The Strength Continuum in resistance training is a common means of categorizing the core subsections of strength—which incorporate power, velocity, and force—during the concentric phase of a resistance exercise. In this article, Coach Ty Sevin clarifies basic qualities and protocols within each subsection of strength to help performance coaches improve their implementation of training modalities.

Research and real-world evidence disputes the claims of those promoting the hip thrust, which has little value to a sprinter and may cause injury. There are better options to develop faster sprinters.

If Coach Derek Hansen had a wish, it would be that every health, wellness, rehabilitation, and performance practitioner could have a high-quality electrical muscle stimulation unit in their hands. Read his key reasons for promoting electrical stimulation as a “front-and-center” feature of his return-to-play process.

Coach Al Vermeil doesn’t engage on social media, but he does read it. This is the second article based on conversations between Coach Vermeil and Coach Valle on the use of weightlifting exercises in the modern performance world, specifically the catch, as well as load optimization.
