In this episode, Coach Ryan Patrick sits down with Yassir Kahook, Sports Science Coordinator and Strength Coach at Cressey Sports Performance Florida. Yassir pulls back the curtain on how CSP integrates force plates, Proteus Motion, and the 1080 Sprint into athlete development—from pro baseball players to youth athletes.

You’ll learn:

• The key force plate metrics that matter (and the ones that don’t).
• Why the shape of the force-time curve may be more valuable than jump height.
• How force plates reveal athlete readiness and fatigue beyond the surface.
• Practical testing insights for high school, college, and pro athletes.
• How sports science connects to on-field performance like sprinting, cutting, and throwing velocity.

Whether you’re a coach, athlete, or just a performance nerd, this episode will help you separate the signal from the noise in sports tech—and apply data where it counts most.
