The fastest athletes aren’t always the best performers on the field—and today’s guest explains why.
In this episode of the “Strength Coach Collective” podcast, multidirectional speed expert Jason Feairheller joins Kenny Markwardt to break down what athletes really need to succeed on game day.
They discuss why sprint times don’t tell the whole story, how to coach change of direction and agility as separate skills, and how to build speed that actually transfers to sport.
Jason shares the origins of his “Game Speed” framework, how he assesses and progresses athletes, and why many traditional speed programs fall short.
He also explains how he incorporates movement variability, cognitive processing and pattern recognition into his training—and how high-volume change-of-direction work can drive better performance and injury resilience.
Tune in to rethink your approach to speed and help your athletes upgrade their real-world performance.
