Cheeky Mid Weeky Measure Running Mechanics to Improve Sprint Speed and Improve Health
In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jason Weber, founder of SpeedSig and former high-performance coach with over 20 years in elite sport. We dive deep into the practical side of sprint mechanics, injury risk, and return-to-play strategies for field sport athletes.
Jason shares how SpeedSig helps coaches get real-time feedback on key metrics like ground contact time, thigh angular velocity, and more—so you can make smarter programming decisions and spot potential issues before they become injuries.
We cover:
- How to improve horizontal force application in sprinting
- Why light sleds can sharpen max velocity mechanics
- The role of measurement in better coaching decisions
- Practical strategies for returning athletes to high-speed running safely
Whether you're working with pros or college athletes, this one’s packed with insights you can apply right away.
