Guide To Weight Training Without Pain

We understand how beneficial and enjoyable serious weight training can be. But we also know that too many people end up experiencing pain and injury with repetitive, high-intensity barbell workouts.

As strength & conditioning professionals we know there is a better way.

Ultimate Guide to Speed Training

Here’s a quick question for sport parents – Are you doing everything you can to help your child reach their athletic 🏃🏽‍♀️ goals?

If you’re like most parents, you probably try to and worry you may not be. So, you need to know how important speed is in sports;

✅ 83% of college coaches ranked speed & agility as their top physical trait in recruiting

✅ Elite athletes accelerate 25% faster than non-elite

✅ Elite athletes produce 50-100% more force into the ground while sprinting

In the coming season, every fraction of a second and every half-step advantage will help decide the future of your athlete.

If this really drives home the importance of speed and agility, the real question is how do we develop a player to their full potential? 12

Fortunately, speed is a skill and can be improved with the right training.  You can close the gap and leave other athletes in the dust.

Velocity Sports Performance was founded in 1999 and has trained over 1 Million athletes around the globe.  This includes Olympians in 11 Games, National Teams, and elite athletes from 17 countries in 34 different sports.

Even more important, the Velocity Speed Formula has been proven to produce consistent results with developing athletes.  

🚀 BIG FORCE into the ground
⏱ Force applied in a SMALL TIME
⇢ Vector in the PROPER DIRECTION
📐 Joints move through an OPTIMAL RANGE OF MOTION

While that seems simple, the biomechanics and motor control that go into it are complex and how we apply it in training is precise.  This formula was developed with sports scientists and elite coaches. It’s based on the biomechanics of speed and has been refined over the last 2 decades.

The key is that Velocity knows how to produce consistent results and you can have peace of mind knowing you are giving your athlete the best chance at success.

Coaching feedback.

Nothing can replace the right feedback from a coach.

It can be incredibly powerful, for good or bad.

Master coaches use both the Art & Science of coaching to deliver;
- the right message
- at the right time
- in the right way

Tech can be an awesome tool to share feedback. From video analysis of technique to measures like power output and bar velocity.

Often the athlete can process these objective types of feedback without having to feel judgement.

Athlete tap into their own motivation and the coach guides them along the way.

Every athlete has an individual Strength Signature.

It’s a measure of how you express power with speed and strength in different types of movements.

It’s also the key to training smarter. Building the right type of strength for sport and your needs.

Don’t waste time and energy on the wrong type of training!

Training smart leads to greater transfer to sports and to lowered injury risk.

Do you know complete Strength Signature?

Change of direction skill is huge for reacting, evading, and chasing. It can also put serious demands on the structures and motor control of the athlete. Big difference between QUICK and ACUTE cuts. To improve performance or rehab, consider the strength qualities needed!

Sprinting is important! But is it enough?

Athletes have many ways to get from one place to another. There's a lot more than just linear sprinting.

These are the 6 basic ways athletes move in ground based sports.

Each of these have variations based on sport and situational context. Are your athletes training the way they move?

Lots of coaches talking about training deceleration. Biomechanically, decel happens, but is that really the intent?

In change of direction its not about slowing down, its about accelerating in a different direction.

Stop coaching the decel, start coaching the acceleration in a new direction!

Lots of talk about frontside versus backside mechanics. Max velocity sprinting is cyclical so frontside affects backside and vice-versa. Coach Loren Seagrave emphasized this decades ago.

So be careful with how you analyze a piece, look at the whole.

When we do think there are excessive backside mechanics here are some of the most basic things we do are try to correct body position & reduce residual phase. Why?

It increases thigh block height which generally provides opportunity for more force into the ground.

Changing one phase of a cyclical action affect the following phases.
