HOTP #34: Sam Portland - Speed & Strictly

It’s great to be back on the poddy - and this week I'm joined by Sam Portland owner of Speed By Sportland. Sam, of course, brings his wealth of knowledge around speed training and we dive into how increasing speed can be a lot harder than we think when it comes to impacting someones sport.

Covered in this episode:

• When increasing someones speed, how does it influence things like control and catching skills, decision making and even decelerating ability
• Finding that right footing to influence a defender
• Why a yard/meter of separation might be more valuable then increases in max velocity
• Sam’s love for Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing with the stars
