To kick off the week in style, I have a special interview with fellow strength and conditioning coach, Travis Hansen.
You may have read his speed training book, or come across his training articles in Men's Fitness and on Stack and T-Nation.
Today I'm gonna grill have a chat with him about how to make athletes faster.
Let's dive right in...
YB: Travis, first of all thanks for doing this, and let's get started with you telling everyone a bit about yourself.
What’s your educational and athletic background? Experience in the strength and conditioning industry? What types of athletes do you work with?
TH: Well Yunus, I have been in the training game for about 12 years now.
I have a few different recognizable training certifications, a college degree, and I played sports since the age of 5. Initially I participated in Tae Kwon Do when I was younger and then migrated into the conventional sports scene, playing basketball, baseball, and football every year until I graduated high school.
I've worked as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the NBA development team here in Reno, been a strength coach for a collegiate golf team, and now work with an array of mostly team sport athletes at the collegiate, high school, and youth levels, and write on a near daily basis.
YB: In your book The Speed Encyclopedia, you explain how team sport athletes should train for improved speed.
Without giving the whole book away, what are some of the most important concepts for getting faster on the field or pitch?
