In this episode of Sprint Based Football presented by Titan Sensors, international speed coach Chris Korfist shares his expertise in speed training, particularly in football, and its pivotal role in an athlete’s performance. He discusses the remarkable speed transformation of NFL player David Montgomery and highlights the impact of cutting-edge technology like the 1080 sprint machine in measuring and enhancing speed.

Chris challenges traditional strength training methods, advocating for a more targeted approach that prioritizes speed development, effective warmups, and injury prevention. He also explains the importance of energy management through his "jelly bean" analogy, emphasizing that athletes must be strategic in their training to maximize performance. Focusing on quality over quantity, Chris provides valuable insights into how optimizing muscle function at various speeds can lead to superior athletic results.
