    RODNEY HILL - S&C COACH #124

    I sit down with Rodney Hill—ex-Florida football S&C/sports science—to get practical on sprint exposure, hamstring health, return-to-play, and using data without the hype. In-this-playbook • Sprint exposures that travel across sports: Derek Hansen’s 10×10 for accel/decel, repeat-sprint conditioning, RTP checklists and handoffs (physio ↔︎ S&C), plus end-range strength for hypermobile athletes. • GPS that drives the week: reverse-engineering camp loads—high-velocity accel/decel, tempo yards, high-speed/sprint yards—worst-case planning, daily volume checks, and position/context nuance. • Force plates, done right: RSI-mod (time-to-take-off × jump height), eccentric decel/braking impulse & RFD, landing strategy (impulse-momentum), P1/P2, CM depth, and when asymmetry is just noise (~15%). ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

    PAUDIE ROCHE - ELITE HUMAN PERFORMANCE COACH #123

    No fluff, just coaching that works. I sit down with Paudie Roche—former Arsenal & Munster S&C—to cut through tech hype, fads, and social-media hot takes. They get into using AI as an assistant (not a replacement), coaching female athletes the right way, navigating growth & maturation, and the real craft of coaching: tone, buy-in, and adaptability. In-this-playbook Female athletes ≠ small men: training age, buy-in, and building autonomy without dumbing things down. Growth, maturation & bio-banding that actually changes your week: PHV awareness, late vs. early developers, and selection without bias. AI without the hype: let it crunch trends (VBT, readiness, bandwidths) while you coach the room—mood periodisation, post-game top-ups, and load management up and down. Upcoming Webinar – 7th February On the 7th of February, I’ll be speaking at a live webinar hosted by the Italian Strength and Conditioning Society, focusing on leadership and soft skills in high-performance sport. This session will explore the practical, often overlooked elements of leadership that directly impact athlete buy-in, staff alignment, and performance environments. The webinar runs from 09:00–11:30 (GMT+1) and includes one educational credit. Secure your spot via the link below.

    KENNA SMOAK-MINNICI & JARED WOODS - S&C @ ARMY WEST POINT #122

    Jump testing without the faff. Manny sits down with West Point’s Jared Woods and Kenna Smoak-Minnici to get real about force plates vs. jump mats, which metrics actually move programming, and how to build systems that don’t steal training time. If you coach jumping sports—or just want cleaner decisions from messy data—this one’s a blueprint. In-this-playbook The two metrics that matter (MRSI + peak power/body mass) and the 4-quadrant model to flip testing into training decisions. How to run weekly post-practice jump testing (cascade style) without losing a single set—and use it as a primer. Seasonal baselines and athlete buy-in: why off-season jumps can dip (and how to communicate it so athletes stay bought in). Featuring: practical trade-offs (force plates vs. mats/phone apps), readiness vs. performance testing, and adapting across facilities with limited time and space.

    KOSTA TELEGADAS - TACTICAL S&C COACH #121

    Kosta (tactical S&C, based in Italy) went from banged-up high-school hooper to the guy tactical units trust to get strong, stay healthy, and still have a life. He’s blunt about the college grind, ruthless about simplicity, and laser-focused on building careers that don’t burn you out—or your athletes. In-this-playbook: •  Tactical template that adapts itself. Build a 5-day master plan, then strip to 3-day and 2-day versions without losing intent. Color-code sessions for 20/45/60-minute windows (red/blue/black): hit the must-dos when time is tight, expand when you can. Consistency > perfection. •  Auto-regulate like an adult. Program by ranges (think 70–77% RI), push when the bar’s moving, pull when life’s heavy. Swap regressions on the fly (belt squat, front-rack split squat, DB patterns) so training never stalls just because someone hates back squats. •  Be first, then be good. Bridge U.S. coaching savvy with European science; bring basic S&C into sport cultures that never had it. Simple, repeatable work wins—ask the judo kids who stopped getting hurt and started winning.

    DAVE SNYDER - ATHLETIC TRAINER @ BAYLOR #120

    Dave Snyder (Baylor Basketball) is an athletic trainer with two decades in the trenches—football to hoops—who turns injuries into clear, fast return-to-play plans. He’s a systems guy: objective data, ruthless practicality, and athlete buy-in so players actually stay on the court. steal-this-playbook: • High-performance that works. One team across AT, S&C, nutrition, mental health, and sport science—clear roles, daily touchpoints, and a single goal: keep the wheel spinning. • Triage like a pro. Sort long-term vs. short/mid at intake, then build the roadmap: protect tissue, preserve capacity, and integrate the weight room the moment an athlete is “allowed to sweat.” • Reverse-engineer game day. Start from the tip-off and work backward: dose the day-before load, account for schedule density, and customize for nagging issues—basketball realities, not theory. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

    TIM SUCHOMEL - ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR @ UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH #119

    Tim Suchomel is an Associate Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and a rare research-meets-weight-room operator—equal parts lab brain and barbell coach. He builds stronger, faster athletes by turning messy training into clean data and making strength science brutally practical. steal-this-playbook: • Weight room = lab. Monitor in real time, adjust in real time. Track sets/reps plus simple outputs (CMJ, RSI) and let the session’s data steer the next block—no ivory tower required. • Pulls for power. Use pulling variations (clean pulls, high pulls, jump shrugs) when catching isn’t the priority; match loading intelligently to get equal—or better—stimulus with fewer technical bottlenecks. • VBT with intent. It’s a tool, not a religion. Lock technique first, then chase the right metric for the exercise and athlete. Remember: bar speed ≠ body speed. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

    MICHAEL STEGEMOELLER - S&C COACH @ UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH #118

    Michael “Coach Steg” Stegemoeller is the strength & conditioning coach at the University of Pittsburgh, leading Women’s Lacrosse and Swim & Dive. A former undersized soccer kid turned performance nerd, he built his chops at MJP, Houston, Texas A&M, and Cincinnati—and now engineers teams that hit harder, move faster, and don’t fade. Steal-this-playbook: •  Periodize under constraints. Vertical integration + APRE (6/3) to touch all qualities; front-squat base → box-squat peaking; manage “high” days when the sport staff wants Tue/Thu Olympic-only sessions—keep qualities alive without frying athletes. •  Readiness that actually works. Conversations > gadgets, plus CMJ/RSI twice weekly; if outputs dip or practice smoked them, swap full-ROM for pins/boxes, trim accessories, or chase singles/doubles. Remember: how you feel can lie—let performance set the throttle. •  Culture that travels. Show up at practice, own warm-ups, coordinate with coaches in the open; build enough trust that when it gets dark, they toe the line and keep going. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

    RETT LARON - S&C COACH @ ECZACIBAşI DYNAVIT #117

    Rett Larson is an Olympic and pro volleyball S&C coach who turns warm-ups into real training and intent into horsepower. He gamifies everything—measured jumps, landmine throws, reverse treadmill sprints, and sneaky isometrics—so athletes get explosive, durable, and hooked. Creator of No Zombies, he thrives under constraints and builds teams that leave the gym sweaty, smiling, and better. steal-this-playbook: • Warm-up = development block. Games that earn the grind (tag/volley variants → 2–3 min micro-dosed isos), then one tracked jump per lift (weighted block/approach/drop-catch), constraints rotated daily (broad-in, left-only, band-accommodated, cues (perception–action). Replace cone mazes with spikeball/pickleball/table tennis, copy fencing-style decel, and if you keep ladders, make them leader–follower for rhythm + reactivity. Design the drill so the body learns without the speech. • Shoulders + posterior chain the volleyball way. Straight-arm capacity (ring hangs + L-sits, handstand holds), landmine coiled-core jerks and throws to vertical (heavier if it still hits vertical), plus Bulgarians/RDLs/Nordics and curved-treadmill badges (chasing top km/h) for the other side of the force–velocity curve; early season hides eccentrics/isos in warm-ups, late season skews reactive/play. • Creativity under constraints (and the toolbox tiers). No flywheels? Use BOSU (ball-up adduction squeeze), bands, noodles as “swords,” partner backpedal knees-over-toes starts. Build a living library: explore in warm-ups → promote what works, demote what doesn’t. When the HC says “arm speed,” the next two weeks of warm-ups look like arm speed—med-ball throws, landmines, sprint cues—measured and scored. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.
