Rotational Power, Force Velocity Profile, and Fatigue Monitoring with Bill Miller author of Swing Fast

In this podcast, Bill Miller, CSCS breaks down his system for developing Rotational Power in athletes. . Bill became obsessed with speed and rotational power from his experience as the “big guy” baseball player who lacked rotational speed and power.  . Through years of experience training athletes and refining his system for objective testing and training, he discovered the reason that he was velocity deficient and how to test and train athletes with similar deficits. . A lot of our discussion involves the nuance and specificity of training adaptations and why the athlete with the highest 1RM often isn’t the one hitting the most home runs. . Bill performs unique objective measures on his athletes including force velocity profiling by measuring speed of medicine ball throws of various weights. Other objective measures that we discuss include reactive strength index, rate of force development, max strength, and more! . Bill wrote “Swing Fast” which is available on Amazon and I’d definitely recommend for strength coaches working with rotational athlete.
