Brett Morse: Relaxed Speed, Force vs. Elasticity & Training the Overhead Athlete

Welcome to the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt sits down with Brett Morse, a sports performance coach out of upstate New York and three-time All-American from Cortland University.

Brett breaks down how to diagnose whether an athlete is force-dominant or elastic-dominant using vertical jump comparisons, split times, and reactive strength indices. The conversation covers how to train each bucket, when to prioritize hypertrophy versus max strength, and why overcoming isometrics are underused in both performance and rehab settings.

The discussion also dives into rotational power for overhead athletes, the link between lower body strength and throwing velocity, and how med ball work bridges the gap between weight room capacity and sport skill.

Whether you are a sports PT or a performance coach, this conversation will sharpen how you assess and program for speed and power. Tune in.
