In this 6-minute deep dive, Dr. Jason Weber and I break down a real-world case where an athlete was medically cleared post-ACL reconstruction (patella tendon graft), but performance testing told a different story.

After a few run-throughs, SpeedSig data flagged something off—significantly reduced vertical force production. That led to a closer look, and sure enough, the issue was a symptomatic patella tendon that hadn’t been fully rehabbed.

In this episode Dr. Jason Weber and I dive deep into running mechanics for team sport athletes—who don’t always sprint in a straight line. Are traditional drills like A-skips, B-skips, and high knees actually improving speed and agility, or are they outdated for multidirectional sports?

I am not endorsing GOATA. I say this at the beginning of this episode and want to say it again, I know Rick Stanzi from our Iowa Football connection.

He works for GOATA. I had a convo with him and Gary about what they think and believe. I do not agree with most of what they say/said. You will hear me disagree with and question them multiple times in this conversation. What you wont hear is me, Rick, or Gary be rude to one another when we talk and disagree with one another. People can disagree on a topic and still be kind to one another.

I will say it again, I do not think GOATA "laws" are correct. Yes training the foot is important. Yes the head is important, so are the eyes as they drive sensory input. But the notion of columns, spirals, reverse locomotion, etc... I do not agree with, nor do I think they make sense. Tried and true S&C that has been applied with:

Speed/agility work on the field/court

Weight room lifting with: proper periodization for athletes based on training age, movement ability, prior injury, sport, position on sport

Conditioning work on and off feet (again depending on time of year).

To cherry pick and say GOATA and what they teach violates the principles of S&C that are how athletes train, get stronger, faster, more powerful, better shape and stay healthy for decades. You hear me say this in the episode.
