Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP25: Velocity-Based Training: Measuring Speed, Power & Performance with Martin O'Reilly
Q: Does the output sensor replace the need for force plates?
O'Reilly says the sensor can cover many practical training and readiness uses, including jumps and reactive strength measurements. Force plates may still suit teams that need a much larger set of detailed metrics, such as for rehabilitation or in-depth athlete analysis.
EP25: Velocity-Based Training: Measuring Speed, Power & Performance with Martin O'Reilly
Q: What could a small-school coach afford that would still be of value?
O'Reilly says the annual subscription is about $2,500, while sensors cost about $300 each per year. A school starting with ten sensors would spend roughly $5,000 in the first year, with later years dropping to the subscription price.
EP18: Can You Teach Speed? Breaking the Biggest Myth in Sports with Dr. Dillon Martinez
Q: What is the core framework you teach for sprinting?
The 7-Ups (toe, knee, hip, chest, chin, eyes, elbow) plus the 3Ts (Tech, Tooling, and Timing) guide max-velocity technique and effective teaching progression.
EP18: Can You Teach Speed? Breaking the Biggest Myth in Sports with Dr. Dillon Martinez
Q: Can you be a great accelerator if you're slow?
No, speed and acceleration are distinct, and coaching acceleration effectively requires developing the mechanics and CNS to handle high-velocity movements.
EP12: How Sprinting Changed Everything: The Birth of Feed the Cats with Brian Weiss
Q: What will Quinton run the 800 in?
He will beat his dad's time by the time he graduates, and I ran a 156.7 in high school.
