200: Scott Salwasser on “Zero-to-100” Training After a Long Layoff, Speed Work for Lineman, and the Agility Continuum | Sponsored by SimpliFaster - a podcast by Joel Smith, Just-Fly-Sports.com

Today’s episode features sports performance coach Scott Salwasser.  Scott has been a multiple time guest on this show, talking about speed training in football, force-velocity profiling, and perception/reaction work.  Scott is currently the assistant director of strength and conditioning for football at the University of South Carolina.   Scott has worked as a sports performance coach for nearly 2 decades, and has worked at a number of NCAA DI universities, as well as in the NFL, and in the private training sector.



When it comes to training, Scott is one of the most practical and grounded coaches that I know, and has an incredible ability to take complex concepts, and create a simple and effective training solution.  Scott works with a variety of technologies, such as force plates, GPS, 1080 Sprint technology, and more, and is able to break things down to simple terms as to how he is utilizing them, and the tangible results he is seeing with his players.



Today’s show covers a number of important topics such as going into Scott’s speed program for lineman, what tendencies they have from a force-velocity perspective, as well as giving more perspective on the nuts and bolts of his perception-action and agility program.  A highly relevant aspect of today’s show is Scott’s experience in helping athletes get back to a high level of performance in a short period of time after a layoff, which is very pertinent to many situations coaches will be finding themselves in, in the near future.  While working at Cal, Scott helped a key player who was down with a virus for the majority of spring training get back to competition shape quickly in the summer, using a variety of feedback tools, and goes in depth on his methodology in today’s episode.
