Does the S&C profession [or coaching full stop] hold itself to high enough evidential standards, and-or is there too much focus on narrative / anecdote? “XXX did YYY, and then they started doing AAA, and then their performance improved to BBB” — this isn’t evidence, but more and more this is what folks seem to be drawn to. We will have a chat around this topic at the @altis Speed Summit. It’s the prompt for one of the Saturday sessions, and will be disused by @jordanstrength @drjacobgoodin and Cam Josse. Will you be there?

A lot of coaches start by teaching drills. Then reality steps in. On last week’s Team Speed Coach live call, Les Spellman reflected on a shift many coaches eventually face: realizing that being good at coaching drills doesn’t always mean athletes are getting faster. “The kids that were the best at the drills were running the slowest.” That realization forced a harder question: What actually transfers? In high-pressure environments like NFL Combine prep, time is limited. Every minute spent in a session has to earn its place. Over time, Les began stripping away pieces of the warm-up and technical drill work that looked organized, sounded technical, and impressed observers, but weren’t producing meaningful adaptation. The result was a cleaner system built around exposure, intent, and sprinting itself. This is one of the central themes inside Team Speed Coach: Learning to separate what looks like speed training from what actually develops speed. Because coaching maturity often looks less like adding more, and more like removing what no longer serves the outcome. Inside The Team Speed Coach Certification, these are the kinds of conversations we spend time on: How to connect intent, structure, and transfer across the entire training environment. The next cohort begins Fall 2026. Drop your details to be the first to hear when enrollment opens. 👇 Comment TSC below

Many warm-ups still start with long static stretching routines because that’s what athletes and coaches grew up seeing. Stu McMillan’s approach is different. Before sprinting, the goal is simple: Prepare tissue. Open movement options. Build rhythm. Gradually expose the body to larger and faster ranges of motion. That’s why you’ll see leg swings, skips, rolls, dynamic mobility, and coordinated movement patterns before speed work. The body learns through movement. “Sprinting is fluid and relaxed and mobile… so allow the bones to move with the muscles.” The warm-up becomes rehearsal for the qualities you want to express later in the session: Rhythm. Elasticity. Coordination. Relaxation under speed. If you’re getting back into sprinting, or introducing sprint work for the first time, we put together a free guide to help you start safely and intelligently. 👇 Comment HUBERMAN below, and check your DMs to access a free 3-part video series, teaching you how to start sprinting safely, and warm up effectively

Many Postgraduate programmes in Strength and Conditioning were built within traditional academic systems. That shapes everything: • how programmes are assessed • how faculty spend their time • what students are rewarded for • and ultimately, what development looks like For some coaches, that works well. But for practitioners operating inside real performance environments, there is often a gap between academic achievement and applied coaching capability. Because coaching requires far more than academic knowledge alone. It requires observation. Decision-making under pressure. Communication. Systems thinking. The ability to adapt when the plan changes in real time. So when we built the ALTIS MSc in Strength, Conditioning & Coaching, we started with a different question: What would Postgraduate education look like if it were designed specifically around the realities of coaching work? That question shaped everything: • the curriculum • the mentorship model • the flexibility • the assessments • and the learning environment itself This is an MSc built for practising coaches working in real performance environments. Applications for the September 2026 intake are now open. ⏬ Comment MSC below and we'll DM you more info.

The practitioner lineup at the 2026 ALTIS Speed Summit brings together leaders from the NFL, NBA, MLS, Olympic sport, elite private practice, rehabilitation, research, and high performance coaching. But the value of this event is not simply who is speaking. It’s how the weekend is designed. Summit sessions feature blend of structured conversation, difficult questions, keynotes, and practical sessions. Instead of passive presentations and polished conclusions, attendees get to watch how high-level coaches, therapists, sport scientists, and performance leaders actually think through complexity in real time.

Many coaches using force plates are only scratching the surface of what the data can actually tell them. At the 2026 ALTIS Speed Summit, Matt Jordan will lead a deep dive into force platform assessment, athlete monitoring, and return-to-play decision-making through the lens of real coaching environments. This session moves well beyond jump height and generic asymmetry scores. Using bilateral and unilateral CMJ testing, repeated jump protocols, velocity-load profiling, and ACL return-to-play case studies, Matt will break down how experienced practitioners interpret force-time curves to answer harder questions around: • Eccentric and propulsive strategy • Neuromuscular fatigue and performance fatigability • Meaningful change versus normal variability • Contextualizing asymmetry • Translating assessment into programming decisions For coaches, therapists, and performance staff working across health and performance, this is an opportunity to refine how you interpret data inside the realities of daily practice. That’s a major part of what makes the ALTIS Speed Summit different. Smart people from different disciplines reasoning through difficult problems together in public.

For years, Stu McMillan has consulted with professional teams on one area that often gets overlooked: The warm-up. Not because teams weren’t doing one. Because most were treating it as preparation for the session, instead of part of the session itself. “The warmup IS the something else.” That line cuts to the heart of this part of discussion from our latest Team Speed live call. Too often, warm-ups become generic routines disconnected from the actual demands of the day. A checklist. A stretch circuit. A few drills before the “real work” begins. But high-performing environments use the warm-up differently. They use it to rehearse movement strategies. To organize rhythm and posture. To expose athletes to the coordinative demands they’ll need later in the session. To solve problems early. To build specificity from the first minute on the field. “Figure out what you’re warming up to do and then figure out a way to do that throughout the entire warmup as well.” That means acceleration qualities show up in the warm-up if acceleration is the priority. Decision-making appears in the warm-up if the sport demands perception and reaction. Projection angles, stiffness strategies, foot contacts, timing, spacing, posture: all of it can begin there. The best coaches understand that every part of the session teaches.

The speaker lineup at the 2026 ALTIS Speed Summit is superb. Coaches, therapists, sport scientists, and performance directors from the NFL, NBA, Olympic programs, and elite private practice. Experienced veterans alongside younger voices asking different questions. Different sports. Different roles. Different opinions. What they share is curiosity — and a willingness to reason through hard problems in public. Including when they disagree with the person sitting next to them. That disagreement is the point. San Diego. June 12-14.
