Garrett Mueller Episode 18 "Meaningful Metrics and Speed is King"

On Episode 18 I sat down with the head coach of Stewartsville Football Garrett Mueller. We begin our discussion by examining the biggest shifts in philosophy he has had during his time as a coach. We discuss the areas that he feels are important to start with in regards to athletic development, this lends itself nicely to most of the remaining conversation as Garrett points out the development of speed, coordination, and spatial awareness are important early metrics for his program. We discuss the different measurements he utilizes in his outside programming such as the 10 M fly, 40, 10 yard starts, and the truck stick. We discuss why he includes each of these measurements and the rationale of the truck stick measurement and how it relates to momentum and the game of football. We spend some time discussing how he would stack his speed development and outside work in an offseason setting, and again we see thoughtful consideration of driving the proper metrics and methods for a desired outcome. We end by examining how he prioritizes speed year around and this leads to his explanation of how they set up their weekly schedule in season. Overall this is a great conversation based around the facilitation of speed in a sustainable and complimentary manner for the sport of football. Make sure to give Garrett a follow on twitter, he post a lot of his data metrics for all to see.
