This week’s guest is sprint coach Ryan Banta. Ryan is the author of the upcoming “Sprinter’s Compendium”, which at its completion will be the most exhaustive resource to date on speed training. Ryan is also a highly successful high school sprint and performance coach out of Ballwin Missouri, and a frequent contributor to Just Fly Sports.

Ryan has some great training insights for sprinters, as well as sport performance in general. Training track and field athletes always drives questions that any coach can and should consider when working with their own athletes for maximal performance.

The idea of “short to long” alone is a great conversation that isn’t just for track coaches, but references the way that any athletes trains and adapts over a full season of training.
