46: Yosef Johnson | Sponsored by SimpliFaster - a podcast by Joel Smith, Just-Fly-Sports.com

This week’s guest is Yosef Johnson, owner of Ultimate Athletic Concepts and performance coach with nearly 20 years of experience. Many of the previous guests on the show, as well as contributors to Just Fly Sports, have been mentored by Yosef on Russian training methods and the work of Dr. Michael Yessis.



Yosef has a blend of mentorship and communication from “The Big Three” in Russian Sport Peformance methodology (Dr. Bondarchuk, Yuri Verkhoshansky, Dr. Michael Yessis) that is probably unsurpassed by any performance coaches in the Western world. Out of this knowledge and mentorship has come a wealth of knowledge that has trickled down into the methods and means of coaches at a growing number of NCAA institutions. One of these methods that is gathering more and more notoriety is the 1x20 method, but Yosef also has great knowledge of special strength methods, biomechanics and long-term development amongst others.



One of the main reasons I wanted to get Yosef on the show was that so many other guests I’ve had will point to Yosef as a mentor and consultant of theirs, so I really wanted to get to the source of all this great knowledge, and Yosef has been a conduit of the wealth of information, Soviet and otherwise, in this regard.



On the show today, we’ll be talking about special strength training, long term development, maximal strength training in the scope of athleticism, and more.



Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.
