Description

In this episode, I take a small dive into Rate of Force Development and its severe importance in sport.  As strength coaches, we can always get caught up in the "numbers" of how much is on the barbell (I was guilty of that at one point in my career), however when we look at the context of sports it is all about who can produced the most amount of force in as little time as possible.


To not upset anyone, there is a time and place for heavy slow muscle contractions during an athletes off-season, as maximal strength gains are very important.  The goal for this episode was to touch on a topic in which I believe is underutilized and overlooked.
