Episode #95 Meathead Monday: Importance of Sprinting for ALL Athletes, Improving Vertical Jumps and MORE

July 13, 2020 • Gerry DeFilippo • Season 2 • Episode 95

Gerry is back with his weekly Meathead Monday Q&A answering YOUR questions.

This episode tackles various questions in many different areas, but particularly focuses on a BIG passion for Gerry... the importance of sprinting.

How can athletes who don't primarily focus on sprinting speed for their sport benefit from sprinting. How can pitchers, hockey goalies, golfers and other athletes benefit from sprinting and what do they all have in common when it comes to acceleration and the benefits it can provide?

From there, the conversation looks at improving the vertical jump, the different types of ground contacts in plyometrics and how they both have their times and uses in a program, what to consider when it comes to using the drop step in different start types and sports, what to look for in a good strength program and MORE.

All that and more on this episode of Muscles and Management!
