Captains & Coaches Podcast

115 - Speed is Simple. People are Complex.


Listen Later

Matt Erdman spent 14 years in law enforcement before stumbling into a coaching opportunity he wasn't ready for. He'll be the first to tell you he didn't know a thing. So he learned.

Now he runs Veritas Athletic Performance in Scotts Bluff, Nebraska — a speed and performance facility built on one word: truth. Truth in faith. Truth in law enforcement. Truth in training. The stopwatch doesn't lie, and neither does he.

In this episode, Matt and Tex break down the real work of speed development — why athletes get slower before they get faster, how to sell that to a kid who just wants a PR, and the shift every performance coach eventually has to make from obsessing over the program to obsessing over the person.

Speed is a skill. Connection is the foundation. This one covers both.
