538: James DeLacey and Vern Gambetta on Unlocking Game Speed and Athletic Creativity
Vern and James dive into the development of agility and game speed, challenging conventional approaches to change of direction training. They discuss the limitations of speed ladders and isolated drills, the importance of rhythm and tempo, and the role of small-sided games in building adaptable athletes. Topics include movement variability, reactive decision-making, and creative training environments, along with how coaches can better integrate physical preparation with sport skills to develop more instinctive, capable athletes.

537: Bob Thurnhoffer on Strength, Speed, and the Art of Subtle Variability
Bob Thurnhoffer returns to discuss the balance between specialization and athletic versatility and the role of variability in high-level speed and power development. Bob shares his approach to coordination-based strength training, balancing linear progression with movement exploration, and creating both competitive and learning-focused practice environments. He also discusses practical applications of velocity-based training, Olympic lifting, and sprint technology, including how variable resistance can help athletes bridge the gap between acceleration and maximal velocity.

536: Frank Forencich on Effortless Power and Adaptive Performance
In this show, Frank Forencich explores rhythm, adaptability, and what it means to train the “human animal” in a modern world. We discuss dance and percussion, specialization versus exploration, the costs of screen-heavy living, social movement games, heckling and partner interaction, and the idea of the “long body.” Frank also shares thoughts on effortless action, balancing discipline with freedom, and using environments, objects, and human connection to build richer, more adaptable movement.

535: Cody Bidlow on Simplicity, Speed, and the True Nature of Sprint Training
Cody discusses how his sprint training has evolved toward a simpler, more dynamic, and intuitive approach. He explores the role of tempo running as both aerobic work and a high-volume elastic stimulus, building lower-leg capacity and preparing the body for faster sprinting. Cody also shares thoughts on flexible warm-ups, training around real-life constraints, general-to-specific strength development, resisted and loaded sprinting, and why experimentation and self-awareness can be powerful tools for long-term speed development.

534: Joel Hansson on Adaptability and Building the Total Athlete
Joel Hansson joins to discuss youth athletic development, movement variability, and the role of play in building adaptable athletes. We explore how physical preparation can be integrated directly into the sporting environment, why young athletes benefit from broad movement experiences, and how coaches can develop speed, coordination, and agility without over-structuring the process. Joel also shares his perspective on long-term development and creating training environments that encourage exploration and problem-solving.

533: Andrew Iselin on Lachlan Kennedy’s 9.85s 100m and Building World-Class Sprint Speed
In this episode, Andrew Iselin joins me to discuss athlete development, sprint coaching, and the value of exploration over rigid technical models. We get into developing Lachlan Kennedy (9.85s 100m dash and Oceanic Record), coaching asymmetry, relaxation and sprint mechanics, game-based speed work, movement literacy, resisted sprinting, tempo training, and why coaches may need to “shut up” more often and give athletes space to self-organize.

532: Jamie Smith on Overcoaching and the Art of Movement Exploration
Jamie Smith joins me to discuss his transition from gym ownership into full-time education and coach mentorship. We dive into client-led exploration, simplifying movement assessment, avoiding nocebo language, and helping athletes discover better movement solutions without overcoaching. Jamie also shares his thoughts on breathing drills, ribcage mechanics, strength technique, sensory versus motor learning, and why good coaching often comes down to creating better environments for athletes to feel, explore, and learn.

531: Ted Kroeten on Play, Movement Literacy and Peak Athleticism
In this episode, Ted Kroeten joins me to explore free play, underloading, and the idea of movement as a language. We discuss why great athletes often emerge from less-structured environments, how excessive coaching can interfere with creativity and fluency, and why doing less can sometimes produce better performance. Ted also shares lessons from Joy of the People, Brazilian soccer culture, ecological dynamics, late development, and the ideas behind his book, The Talent Thief. Today’s episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength and Lila Exogen.
