Voodoo Power Elastic Speed, Athlete Development, and the Future of Sport with Brandon Byrd Part 2
Recorded 12/30/25
In Part 2, the conversation dives deeper into elastic speed, force production, and long-term athlete development. Steven and Brandon break down how true speed is built through the integration of acceleration mechanics, plyometrics, and strength training — not just weight room numbers.
They discuss how to identify whether an athlete is elastic-dominant or strength-dominant, how to program accordingly, and why broad jumps, resisted sprints, and intent-driven lifting matter more than traditional metrics.
The episode also explores the evolution of sport performance, the dangers of over-coaching, and how developing adaptable, resilient athletes is the future of training.
