Pearls of Speed & Power Development from a 30-year Veteran Coach - with Stuart McMillan

When working with an athlete you need to be clear about THEIR STRENGTHS. What makes them special? WHY are they good at what they do! While Stuart McMillan wants you to consider ALL ASPECTS of an athlete and their training, he especially emphasizes you to be clear around what makes them SUCCESSFUL. Then figure out how to exploit these further. Don’t go about working on weaknesses, which more often than not makes an athlete worse.  In our 40TH (OMG!)
