There are so many different methods and technology that we utilize to help our athletes become faster, stronger and more explosive. We are always reading articles, books, listening to podcast and attending seminars so we can see if we can help our athletes even further in their development. There are a lot of gimmicks and gadgets that are on the market that really do not help to improve performance or health but are extremely popular. We like to try things out, read the studies done on them, if any and then make a decision on if they will help our athletes performance or not. Most of the time we find technology that is purely made to make a profit but in a few cases some of the things we have discovered has become paramount in helping achieve better results for our athletes.
One of the things that we found to be extremely useful is the Tendo unit. This device measures the bar speed while our athletes are performing their exercises. This is extremely useful to give us real time feedback on how our athletes are doing, what effort they are completing each rep and it also helps us to teach and our athlete to learn the proper technique in every lift. It is used by all the major collegiate and professional teams as well as the top performance centers across the country. Click on the video below and see how this can take your performance to the next level!
Action Steps:
1. Do you utilize this in your training?
2. If you are not using it, find where you can use it.
3. When you use it, always try to get faster on every rep and in every lift.
