Today’s guest is Jeff Moyer. Jeff returns for his second appearance on the show, and talks in depth on training approaches for building speed in athletes. In today’s industry, there are a lot of theories thrown around, and a lot of “smart” sounding terminology used to describe those theories. In the end, however, the only thing that matters is what works.
In that vein, Jeff is a fantastic guy to talk to, since he has three things that stand out in this arena.
1. He gets great results in speed improvement in his athletes
2. He has an immense thirst for knowledge and frequently talks with some of the best coaches in the industry
3. He has a significantly active B.S. meter
Ever since our first episode together I’ve had numerous chats with Jeff about all arenas of sport and athletic performance, and I’m always amazed at the people he is learning from and the concepts he is working with. When it comes to training athletes, Jeff gets it.
Today, we cover just a few key arenas of training speed, but in great detail. Particular points of interest for this episode are the relationship of sprint mechanics to injury, special strength training, and training dosages. Mastering these ideals is what gives Jeff the results he has, and any coach can benefit immensely from listening.
