210: Josh Hingst Interviews Joel Smith on Training Topics of Speed and Power Development in American Football and Field Sports | Sponsored by SimpliFaster Just Fly Performance Podcast

    • Fitness

Today’s episode features a special guest interviewer, Josh Hingst, head strength coach of the 2018 Superbowl Champion, Philadelphia Eagles, who interviews me on a number of questions related to training American Football.  I met Josh in Barcelona, Spain back in 2005, and I’m happy that we’ve been in correspondence since that time.  I originally meant to interview Josh for an episode, but Josh flipped the script on me, so to speak, asking if he could interview me for a show.



Josh’s experience before working with the Eagles includes work at the Jacksonville Jaguars, the University of Nebraska, the Atlanta Falcons, and Florida State University.  Josh has experience serving not only as a strength coach, but also in roles as a sports nutritionist, and he is the co-author of the book “The Athlete’s Guide to Sports Supplements” in 2013 while serving as the director of sports nutrition at the University of Nebraska.



I don’t have much experience working in American football specifically, although I’ve been fortunate to be connected with, and be able to interview many experts in this realm in the past several years.  In this interview, it is truly humbling to be interviewed by Josh, whose has such an incredible resume in his work with football on the college and professional level.  It was good to get his feedback to my own responses as we cover many important topics to athletic development pertaining to football, although my answers cover elements that can pertain to all levels of sport development.  In this show, we talk on speed development, hamstring injury prevention, training the foot, biomechanics, isometrics, and much more.



Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.
