Welcome to Episode 400 of the Strength Coach Podcast, brought to you by PerformBetter.com, the Experts in Functional Training & Rehabilitation.

In this episode, Anthony chats with Coach Boyle about:

- Med Ball Throws- sequencing, functional training, and why focusing on the kinetic chain—starting from your legs and trunk—is crucial for unlocking true power.

- How, when and where he is using Contrast Training

- Vertical Jump- how often does he test. Does he treat it like he does with sprinting, from the perspective of "If you want to get faster, time your sprints." If we want to jump higher, should we test more often?

- How he handles short athlete visits.
