Brian Harrington is the owner and head performance coach of Harrington Sports Performance located in New York. Brian was a nominee for COACH OF THE YEAR by the National Sports Performance Association (NSPA). Brian first caught my attention when I saw how he was able to modify his program during the pandemic and put out great training sessions without access to a gym. This is only possible because Brian has developed such a great model for developing Linear and Multidirection Speed. That's exactly what we got into during this episode. https://www.harringtonsportsperformance.com/ IG: @ Harrington_performance Email: Brian@harringtonsportsperformance.com
