Matt Tometz: Implementing Comprehensive Speed Develompent

Matt Tometz - Assistant Director of Olympic Sports at Northwestern University - joins us for the 12th episode of MTN. In this episode, we jump into the the things that people tend to get wrong about speed development, understanding the ratio of mechanics and output as it relates to speed training for team sport athletes, and we go down a rabbit hole related to deceleration that probably could have kept on going. Matt's time spent and understanding of speed & agility make him a valuable resource in the field and we were grateful to get him on the podcast. *Episode Disclaimer - When we recorded this podcast, Matt was a Sports Performance Coach & Director of Sports Science at TCBOOST Sports Performance in Chicago, IL but has since taken a position at Northwestern University on their S&C Staff. We wish Matt all the best in his new position.
