I have created a VBT cheat-sheet ๐Ÿค“ It's a one-sided high-res poster with the big practical uses for velocity in the gym Perfect if you are just getting started with VBT, or need an education tool for your athletes to increase engagement. Retweet this & Iโ€™ll DM you a copy!

For those interested in the use of GPS metrics and match-play analysis to inform training prescription in team sports, check out these two links of discussions Iโ€™ve had recently. @N_P_Solutions @alex_natera @ltadnetwork youtu.be/qWBAaUS0Bws open.spotify.com/episode/0cOโ€ฆ

Your reminder that Werner Gunthor was one of the most explosive athletes of all time He specialized in the shot put, which is interesting to point out Shot-put involved more stationary, rotational output, yet he did training like this ๐Ÿค” Food for thought for pitchers/hitters

Coach these workouts are boring. Ok here try this - Run 40 x 400 everyday for three weeks! That is what Emile Zatopek did. I don't recommend it, but we need to get back to training robust adaptable athletes rather than entertaining them. Sometimes training is boring.

Enjoyed talking all things hamstrings with the man whoโ€™s seen/studied more of them than most in @Ryan_timmins. Also great discussion around the problem(s) with applying research in elite environments. โ€“ at Brisbane, Queensland

Dear @susieob. Please feel free to contact me, or any afl player/official, to discuss what this โ€˜freedomโ€™ actually looks like and the impact it has had on mine and our families/ home life. Lazy, poorly researched and headline seeking journalism at its finest.
'Most of us canโ€™t fly anywhere, but AFL stars and club officials have packed their surfboards and golf clubs and winged their way to freedom. Itโ€™s an unfair and disgraceful situation.' Thoughts? ๐Ÿ‘€ heraldsun.com.au/news/opinioโ€ฆ

Thanks Fran. Every situation has its own context. I would say great as proposed (these are all obvious benefits), so long as it doesn't interfere with achieving the key factors of importance in your program (i.e., have all these boxes been ticked first). hiitscience.com/logical-hiitโ€ฆ

Stronger soccer players experience less post-match muscle damage. These findings are similar to what @richjohnston88 found in rugby league players.
