We sit down with Ty Webb, Head of Baseball Strength and Conditioning at Purdue University. Ty brings a rare blend of football and baseball experience, plus years of running high-volume speed systems with multiple 1080 Sprint 2 units. His baseball program has become one of the fastest in college baseball, and he breaks down exactly how he's getting it done.

We dig into how he first learned the system on the football side, how he adapted it to baseball, and how he uses resisted sprints, contrast work, profiling, and competitive feedback to build faster, more efficient players. From managing five 1080 Sprint 2 units to integrating speed work into live base-running sessions, Ty shows how to make tech work inside the flow of practice.

We cover:

-Ty’s journey from football S&C to leading Purdue Baseball’s performance program

-Running a full football team on four Sprint 1 units and what he learned

-Heavy and light resisted sprint setups, weekly structure, and flow

-How simple constraints cleaned up asymmetries without over-coaching

-Why he tracks peak power, average time, and multiple metrics beyond peak velocity

-Using contrast work with jumps to expose and fix movement issues

-Integrating the 1080 directly into base running and practice flow

-Profiling position players and setting 80 percent target speeds

-How Purdue Baseball’s latest 60-yard times validated the entire system

-His plan for bringing assisted acceleration into baseball

We sit down with Jordan Cook, Director of Sports Performance and Rehab at B3 Better in Jacksonville, Florida. Jordan blends athletic training, strength and conditioning, and high-level return-to-play work, making him one of the most forward-thinking rehab coaches using the 1080 Sprint in the private sector.

We get into how he learned the system, how he uses motorized resistance to bridge rehab and performance, and why isokinetics, force-time curves, and deceleration profiling have become cornerstones in his process. If you care about return-to-play, testing as training, or using tech to make better decisions in rehab, this one has a lot to take away.

We cover:

-Jordan’s path from England to the U.S. and into rehab and performance

-How he first learned the 1080 and why it became a core part of his model

-Using the 1080 for force-velocity and load-velocity profiling in private sector settings

-Why isokinetic quad testing has become a major unlock for ACL rehab

-How graph shapes expose deficits that average numbers hide

-Building rehab systems where testing happens inside training

-Using deceleration and ADA testing to profile horizontal braking

-How he blends qualitative and quantitative metrics to guide progression

-How he uses the 1080 to support teams, athletes, clinics, and consulting

-His recommended “homework” for practitioners: decel profiling across distances

Joining the show is with Jonathan Ward, current strength and conditioning coach with the Bristol Bears and one of the most versatile 1080 users anywhere in rugby. Jonathan has coached across Australia, France, and the UK, working with elite athletes across multiple systems while refining how he uses motorized resistance to drive speed development.

We get into his first exposure to the 1080 in France, how he experimented his way into resisted sprints, assisted acceleration, and variable loading, and how he now integrates five Sprint units into the flow of a pro rugby club. If you're into resisted sprinting, force-velocity profiling, or using tech to individualize for wildly different body types, this one has a lot to steal.

We cover:

-Jonathan’s path from Australia to France to the Bristol Bears

-Early days learning the 1080 and experimenting with assisted/resisted work

-How rugby athletes of different sizes demand different setups

-Why he shifted strong athletes to assisted acceleration and variable loading

-How he uses 50 to 30 percent VDEC drops over specific distances

-Coaching cues for variable loading and common errors he sees

-How he integrates the 1080 into team environments with high buy-in

-Why competition and live feedback improve intent and outcomes

-His go-to homework for new 1080 users: resisted runs and load-velocity profiling

-When to progress to variable resistance and assisted work

We sit down with Will Collins, founder of Fast University and one of the most creative overspeed coaches in the game. Will works with athletes from youth to world-class, combining sprint coaching, consulting, marketing, and a whole lineup of side hustles that all orbit one thing: developing fast, efficient movers.

We get into how he discovered the 1080 Sprint 2, what hooked him on overspeed, and how his approach has evolved from testing loads to building full systems around assisted drills, variable loading, and fine-tuned progressions. If you’re into max velocity, coordination, overspeed progression, or using tech to accelerate learning, this one delivers.

We cover:

-Will’s background coaching athletes internationally and domestically

-The first time he saw the 1080 and why overspeed caught his attention

-Why max velocity exposure is limited and how towing changes that

-How overspeed helps athletes feel and learn technical positions

-His early overspeed experiments vs. the precise system he uses now

-The role of fine adjustments, assisted drills, and variable loading

-How he primes athletes with front-side and cycle drills

-When to use assisted sprinting vs. true overspeed

-How he progresses loads, distances, and sessions safely

-Real numbers, risks, and the “legal” versus “illegal” side of overspeed

-Will’s advice for anyone starting their overspeed journey

The first episode of Between 2 Sprints is joined by Eric Lichter, owner of Plus Two University in Columbus, Ohio. Eric’s been coaching for nearly 30 years, from training Ted Ginn Jr. and LeBron James to directing football performance at the Ohio State University, to building one of the most successful private speed programs in the country.

We dig into his return to coaching, why tech changed the game for him, and how he’s using the 1080 Sprint to individualize training, build better movers, and do it at scale with seven units running every day. If you care about speed, LTAD, overspeed, or building a real system, this one has plenty to steal.

We cover:

-Eric’s background from private sector to Ohio State and back

-Why he started using the 1080 and the story behind buying seven Sprint 1s

-How he profiles every athlete with simple load-velocity testing

-His current 3-month acceleration cycle and weekly structure

-How he progresses assisted and overspeed sprinting safely

-Why peak overspeed numbers predict race-day top speed

-What he’s learned from 140,000+ sprints on the 1080

-His take on long-term development for middle school and high school athletes

-How to explain overspeed to parents, athletes, and hesitant coaches

-The business side of using tech and why it pays for itself fast
