#5 - Plyo King Matt Watson

One of the biggest gaps I have seen in the skate community when it come’s to returning to skating post injury OR trying to unleash more pop is the lack of and misunderstanding in use of plyometric training.

 

In my humble opinion effective use of them is one of the hidden gems skaters have not been taking full advantage of in pursuit of unleashing pop and returning from injury.

 

With that in mind I thought it would be cool to have the Plyo King himself on the Poddy this week Matt Watson.

 

Matt is an expert in the field of all things plyometrics and we sat down and covered topics such as:

 

- What is plyometric training and common misconceptions (hint they are not box jumps)

- How plyos play a huge role in strengthening tendons

- Testing plyo’s in return to skating rehab programs

- Using plyo’s to help with power and pop

 

Enjoy!
