The feet and ankles are the base of athleticism If they’re fragile, the whole body suffers. If they’re strong, responsive, and durable… the whole body will thank you. What’re your favorite exercises to build up the feet and ankles? Let me know in the comments 👇

Someone approached me at the gym yesterday to check their sprint form. The majority of her sprint training is completed on the curve treadmill. This video shows why I’m not a fan of the curve treadmill for sprint training.

Sprinting for hamstring resilience — If regularly ending up with hamstring tweaks and pulls during practices and competitions, there’s a chance it’s due to lack of task readiness. Try to hit >95% max velocity a handful of times each week to reduce risk of injury.

Is strength important for speed development? Here’s my take ⤵️⤵️ For context — this is me cleaning 295 lbs at 167 lbs body weight and I credit my abilities in the weight room largely for helping my collegiate career flourish the way it did However… We can’t lift at the expense of speed training and development What that means is when we enter the weight room we can’t do so with blinders on acting as if the only thing in the world that matters is that weight training session or improving your 1RM YES… you need force to move your body through space YES… that force needs to be high relative to your body weight BUT… you must be a skilled mover to apply said force in the right positions, at the right times, with the right vectors for it to mean anything While important to holistic athletic development, we’ve got to stop acting like strength is the ultimate differentiator in speed Lot of “weak” athletes will blow your doors off in sprints Lot of “strong” athletes get folded in speed & power sports Go into the weight room with the idea that you’re complementing your speed and athletic development… not superseding it If your legs are so beaten and broken down from lifting heavy you can’t train for 2-3 days without excessive risk, you’re doing it all wrong. Just some perspective from someone who once pursued 1RMs to no end while my track times stagnated… and then was enlightened by world class coaches who lifted within the context of my sport to take me from a college tryout to D1 All American What’re your thoughts? Let’s discuss in the comments!

Massive 100m performance from 2026 RB prospect Kyle Hogan today! Huge new PRs of 10.83s (HH) & 23.47MPH (no wind). Great example of what happens when you trust the process + remain consistent! Kudos to him on his hard work and dedication! This is only the beginning!
