528: Dan Back on The Natural Foundations of Speed and Athleticism

In this episode, Daniel Back gets into the role of variety, play, and subconscious learning in developing speed and athleticism.

He discusses resisted sprinting, why he avoids over-coaching acceleration mechanics, lessons from the dunk community, and the value of broad movement experience.

Dan also explores extensive tempo, longer sprints, training volume, and why specialization and constant measurement can sometimes limit long-term athletic development.
