Force = Mass x Acceleration: Why Gaining Weight Makes You Fast | The Process Ep. 6
"Weak athletes slow down as they grow. Strong athletes get faster. That’s not opinion, that’s physics."
In this episode of The Process, Coach Walter Beede and performance nutrition expert Jeremy Fouts debunk the biggest myth in youth sports: that gaining weight makes you slower. They break down the physics of Ground Force (Force = Mass x Acceleration) and explain why college coaches are actively looking for bigger, stronger bodies—not skinny runners.
Learn why 1-2 mph of bat speed changes your career, why hydration affects reaction time, and why pitchers need sprint capacity just as much as outfielders.
