Hey, Brad Kearns here with some thoughts from my morning walk about the foundation of any excellent, well-rounded fitness program for peak performance, vitality, fat loss, and longevity. Did you know half of regular runners get an overuse injury every year, and 25% of regular runners are injured at any given time? In this episode, I explain why the modern endurance running approach is deeply flawed, why walking provides an excellent aerobic conditioning effect with minimal impact load or injury risk, and why it should be the foundation from which you launch your more ambitious fitness activities. I also share why resistance training is the missing link for many people, including Dr. Doug McGuff's “Big Five” workout, and why true sprinting—not long HIIT sessions—is the single best workout ever known to mankind in terms of return on investment for reducing excess body fat, promoting overall functional fitness, and supporting longevity. Research reveals that anaerobic muscle fibers decline at a rate of around 40% per decade without intervention, compared to roughly 10% for the aerobic system. That's why we have a critical obligation for longevity to hone the anaerobic system with brief, explosive maximum efforts. The three fitness laws are simple: move frequently at a slow pace, lift heavy things, and sprint once in a while. That is the winning ticket for true fitness, weight loss, and longevity. TIMESTAMPS: Brad emphasizes the importance of walking as an activity from which to launch your more ambitious fitness activities. [01:51] Steady state cardiovascular exercise and other extreme endurance exercises often create injuries. [03:01] Sprinting is the single best workout known to mankind! It's all about quality, explosiveness, power, lots of rest in between. [08:30] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel - The Best Protein on The Planet!

Is it too late for you to prevent dementia? Even if you have a family history of dementia there are steps you can take to lower your risks. You know it's important to train your physical body, but are you training your brain? It's possible to improve your cognitive ability as you age. And what's good for the brain is good for keeping away unwanted belly fat. Lifestyle is crucial: dietary patterns, movement, sleep, social connections, avoiding alcohol and tobacco, managing stress and adequate sleep play a role. It's also important to keep your blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and weight under control. Correcting vision or hearing loss is important too. Speed training, or speed processing helps increase your brain's reaction time which helps maintain the ability to drive. Studies show it lengthens independence and reduces the development of dementia.  If you're ready to dive deeper into brain health, join the Healthy Looks Great on You Lab.  0:00 Introduction 0:37 Can You Improve After 65? 1:03 Brain vs. Belly: The Connection 2:46 8 Lifestyle Interventions to Prevent Dementia 3:35 Move & Dietary Patterns 5:33 Sleep, Stress & Social Connection 6:51 Know Your Numbers & Sensory Health 7:47 Speed Training for the Brain 9:25 BrainHQ & The ACTIVE Study 11:40 Call to Action & Final Challenge

In this episode of On The Mark, host Mark Immelman welcomes back Cordie Walker (last on the show in 2019) for a practical, no-fluff conversation on what actually moves the needle for your golf game: Speed Training with intent, how to make Real Swing Changes, Practice Structure, Course Management using Dispersion, and Wedge Gapping that holds up under pressure.  Cordie shares his journey chasing 180 → 190 → 200mph Ball Speed, why most golfers “speed train” the wrong way, and how dedicated sessions (with a real warmup and real volume) raise your floor, not just your ceiling. Then the conversation pivots into improvement that transfers: Get Better Feedback (video + data), Practice with a Purpose (technique vs skill vs performance), and build a Wedge System that makes “shot #3” a weapon.  In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why “intent” is the missing ingredient in most speed training (and what a real session looks like)  The #1 speed-training sign you're actually going hard enough (yes—it should feel out of control)  How video changes everything: what you feel vs what you actually do  Why swing changes are harder than golfers think—and what it really takes to make them stick  A simple practice framework: Technique vs Skill vs Performance (and why most practice fails)  How great course management can free you up (and when “send it” actually makes sense)  Why dispersion is a shotgun pattern, not a “rifle”—and how to use it to play smarter, and A wedge gapping starting point most golfers skip (and why it's killing your scoring.) Key Takeaways: Speed is trainable—if you train it on purpose. Dedicated sessions, real warmup, and enough volume matter. Feedback is everything. Video + launch monitor data keep you honest and accelerate change. Practice needs a goal. Decide if you're working on technique, skill, or performance—then practice accordingly. Course management isn't “play scared.” Know your dispersion and make emotionless decisions—then commit. Wedge gapping wins tournaments for regular golfers. Build baselines, stop swinging wedges too hard, and refine.

If you're trying to increase driver distance, gain clubhead speed, or add serious carry to your drives, this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast with Mike Granato and Shaun Webb breaks down a real-world speed training transformation.In just four weeks, Athletic Motion Golf student Kyle increased his driver clubhead speed from 101 mph to 107 mph, producing 11 mph more ball speed and roughly 28 yards of additional carry distance. The best part? Every session was tracked and verified on a professional launch monitor (GC3 / Bushnell Launch Pro).Mike Granato and Shaun Webb walk through the exact speed training protocol, how many swings were required, how long each session took, and why hitting balls during speed training produced better results than traditional overspeed systems.Kyle explains how only two speed sessions per week (20–30 minutes each) completely changed his golf game — turning long iron approaches into wedges and making par 5s reachable.This episode covers:• The exact protocol used for speed training • How overspeed training actually works • Why hitting balls matters for speed development • How to track speed improvements correctly • What speed gains mean for scoring and approach shotsIf you're serious about hitting the driver farther and improving your golf performance, this podcast episode provides a real case study showing what happens when speed training is done correctly.

It might be easier than you think to gain five, 10 or even 15 mph of ball speed. Cordie Walker, founder and chief curator of the Golf Science Lab joins LKD to discuss his biggest jumps in ball speed, how he made it happen and how a regular golfer can do it too.

Speed in Golf: How to Add Distance Safely (and Make It Transfer to the Course)A lot of golfers come into winter with the same goal: hit it farther next season. In this episode, Michael Falk and Jason Tipton break down why speed matters in today's game, what separates swinging harder from swinging faster, and how to build real distance gains that actually hold up on the course.You'll learn why ball speed is the KPI (not just clubhead speed), how center contact and efficient sequencing can unlock speed without extra effort, and why speed training needs a plan—both technically (setup, sequencing, ground forces) and physically (strength, power, rotational capacity). They also cover where overspeed tools fit, what typically goes wrong when golfers chase speed without feedback, and how to create a training blueprint that improves distance without losing your scoring skills.What You'll LearnWhy distance is such a performance advantage (and where the “too much speed” line can show up)Ball speed vs. clubhead speed — and why strike + launch conditions often beat max effortCommon mistakes golfers make when they start speed trainingThe technical foundations that create speed: setup, sequencing, and ground force timingPractical tools/drills that help golfers learn to create speed efficientlyThe physical drivers of speed: strength, power, and rotational explosivenessHow mobility fits in (important, but not the main driver for everyone)A blueprint approach to gaining 10–15+ yards with less wasted effortWhat goes wrong when speed training is unbalanced (and how to avoid it)Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview01:15 The Importance of Speed in Golf (tour trends, scoring advantage, distance thresholds)06:14 Physical Fitness and Speed Training (better athlete = more potential speed, aging + maintaining speed)08:21 Common Mistakes in Speed Training (“swinging harder” vs “swinging faster,” dispersion early on, ball speed focus)15:44 Technical Aspects of Building Speed (setup/grip, kinematic sequence, ground-up movement, face/path issues when forcing speed)20:49 Innovative Training Tools for Golf (force pedal, constraints, continuous swings for balance and sequencing)21:24 Balancing Swing Sequencing and Speed Training (overspeed as a tool—not the tool; efficiency before effort)22:14 The Role of Physical Fitness in Golf Performance (why gym work supports speed development)22:49 Key Drivers of Club Head Speed (vertical impulse, upper-body explosiveness, rotational power)23:42 Importance of Flexibility and Mobility (helpful for some, but not the primary driver in most research)26:24 Creating a Personalized Training Blueprint (screening + player-specific plan; gym frequency; adding overspeed strategically; tracking)32:58 Common Pitfalls in Speed Training (open face/face control, losing wedges/scoring, overuse issues, poor warm-up/recovery)37:59 Recap and Future Plans (assess → efficiency → build capacity → add speed → track; upcoming episodes)Resources MentionedJason Tipton (Skillest): online assessment + lessons https://skillest.com/coach/jason-tiptonKinetic Sports Medicine & Performance: golf assessment https://kineticsmp.com/golf

Slow-speed skills matter — especially on heavy adventure motorcycles. But if that's where your training stops, there are real situations where it starts working against you. Because sometimes control doesn't come from crawling — it comes from the right momentum at the right time. Clinton Smout from SMART Performance Centre joins us to talk about what happens when the trail gets rough and the bike needs to do what it's designed to do: move. We explore how stability changes with motion, how traction and momentum work together in real terrain, and why timing — with throttle, clutch, and body position — is what separates bouncing through from riding cleanly through.

Welcome to the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast with Mike Granato and Shaun Webb — and today, we're diving DEEP into the world of golf speed training with none other than Fast Eddie Fernandes, 3X World Long Drive Champion and creator of the revolutionary HIITS Golf driver system.In this power-packed episode, Eddie reveals why most speed training is DEAD WRONG — and how hitting actual golf balls with variable weighting (instead of just air) is the key to gaining real, sustainable clubhead speed without blowing out your joints.We break down the science of anticipatory contraction, why your body braces for impact when hitting a ball (but NOT when swinging at air), and how Eddie's training helped him hit 220+ ball speed at age 47 — dominating the long drive circuit.

Today's guest is Ben Simons. Ben is a British performance coach and two-time Olympic bobsledder with a background in sprinting and sports science. A former World Cup gold medallist, he's now focused on helping athletes develop speed, power, and coordination through evidence-based, real-world training methods. Ben blends biomechanics, motor learning, and nervous-system training to build explosive, adaptable athletes. Many speed training topics and conversations focus exclusively on the most stimulating possible methods; fewer get into individual factors, athlete adaptability, and how that speed and power training evolves with the needs of the athlete. On today's show, Ben and I discuss asymmetry, rhythm, and “aliveness” in sprint and power development. We explore when to let unique mechanics—like Byanda Wlaza's galloping stride—run their course versus coaching toward a technical model. Ben gets into the general speed training lessons he gained from bobsled, and shares why he now favors yielding isometrics, unilateral strength, and med ball throws over heavy lifts, emphasizing longevity, reflexive strength, and movement variability. We finish with how curvilinear sprints, pool work, and playful, multidirectional movement help athletes stay reactive, adaptable, and pain-free.

Use a technical benchmark as your reference, then assess the athlete's bandwidth before changing form. If an athlete still performs well, test before adjusting — not every asymmetry needs fixing. Sled pushing can exaggerate patterns, so train sled and unweighted sprints separately for balance. 12:25 – Air-time vs ground work: why the stuff in the air transfers to sprinting Ben highlights the value of airborne drills and how isolating sides changes learning. Mix air-time drills (A-skips, dribbles) with reflexive work that reinforces limb exchange. Use isolating drills to refine control, then transition back to dynamic, reciprocal actions. Treat drills as tools to build feel, not techniques to be perfected. 16:08 – From long jump and 4x100 to bobsled trials and the push track Ben explains how testing funneled him into bobsled and what carried over from track. Identify transferable metrics (sprint speed, jumps) when guiding athletes into new sports. Plan gradual body composition changes to meet the new sport's demands.

Geno Suarez Shanked Grand Slam Proves Your Kid Needs Bat Speed TrainingWe first take a deep dive into MLB's new Amateur Recovery Period (October 15th-January 15th), breaking down why the league is using its leverage to force rest and development time for high school players. The episode pivots to Shohei Ohtani's transcendent postseason performance (two 116+mph batted balls, three homers, pumping hundreds on the mound), using it to illustrate why youth players should train as two-way athletes and move around the field instead of getting pigeonholed. Deven connects Geno Suarez's late, shanked home run to the bat speed training argument, then tackles the Mariners' devastating Game 7 loss and Dan Wilson's old-school closer decision. The core of the episode centers on Orion Kerkring's throwing error and Rob Thompson's response—hand on chest, picking the kid up—which Deven holds up as the coaching standard, contrasting it with his own past failures as "kind of a dick" in games. He challenges coaches directly: when a kid fails publicly and the game is already lost, how will you respond? The episode closes on A-Rod's commentary, national personalities who can't celebrate the game, and a preview of the tongue-in-cheek "How to Ruin a Hitter/Pitcher" video series.Timestamps00:00 – Intro, AxeBat code & first vacation in 20 years04:01 – MLB's Amateur Recovery Period: October 15th-January 15th breakdown10:45 – Fatigue, super-compensation & why kids get hurt without rest13:41 – On-ramping 101: marathon analogy & 4-6 week build-up protocols19:03 – Showcase economics vs. player health: "matters concerning health comes first"22:16 – Shohei Ohtani: 116.9mph, 469ft & the billion-out-of-a-billion performance30:17 – Two-way paradigm & moving kids around the field: why Danny got varsity reps34:26 – The disaffected right fielder stuck there "all the mother effin time"37:07 – Geno Suarez shank homer: low smash factor argument for bat speed41:15 – Dinger to Springer & Dan Wilson's old school closer decision46:12 – Orion Kerkring play: Rob Thompson's hand on his chest & what coaching should look like53:32 – "What's happened, happened": the game is lost—how will you respond?56:04 – A-Rod commentary & why national personalities hate the state of the game58:04 – Outro: "How to Ruin a Hitter/Pitcher" video series previewLinksStart training with Driveline now with Academy Flex:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/academy-flex/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Develop bat speed with our Youth Power Bat for just $99!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-power-trainer/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Skills That Scale: The Complete Youth Baseball Training Manual is out now!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/skills-that-scale-training-manual/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Train bat speed and barrel accuracy with our Youth Underload Smash bat - just $79!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drivelinebaseball.com/product/youth-underload-smash-bat/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⬇️ Host ⬇️Deven Morgan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/devenmorgan ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Stop wasting your time with speed sticks and air swings. In this episode, we break down the biggest speed training myths and show you what actually works — with real stories, data, and insights from our work with Fast Eddie and tour-level players.Most golfers want to swing faster. But are you training for speed the right way… or sabotaging your swing without realizing it? We dig into why swinging at air doesn't transfer to real-world results — and how it's silently wrecking swings across all skill levels.You'll hear how tour pros like Padraig Harrington and Aldrich Potgieter gain speed while maintaining accuracy, why contact-based training is a must, and how our H.I.I.T.S Driver is changing the game with a safer, smarter way to add yards without injury.If you've ever used a speed stick or wondered why your training hasn't translated to longer drives, this is a must-watch.

Today's podcast features James Wild, a Research & Development and Speed Consultant with Harlequins Rugby Club and a Lecturer in Sport & Exercise Science at the University of Surrey. With expertise in biomechanics, skill acquisition, and motor learning, James has worked with athletes of all levels, including medal-winning teams at major competitions. He is also an author and holds a PhD in biomechanics and motor control of sprint acceleration. While many approaches exist for speed training, less attention is given to individual movement strategies. Athletes accelerate differently based on sport, movement background, and physical attributes. James discusses his quadrant system, which categorizes acceleration strategies based on flight/ground time and stride frequency vs. step length. He also covers injury trends, plyometrics, sprint technique, resisted sprints, motor learning, and more. It was great having James back—this episode is essential for anyone interested in speed training and individualized performance.

(25:00) “The field hockey players tend to adopt a bit more of a spinner type strategy where the step rate's higher, flight times lower and then with the lacrosse players it's a bit more of a, towards more of a bounder type strategy in, in comparison.” (29:15) "I think it's always useful to know their acceleration strategy. But, but that information alone doesn't mean that you intervene automatically in a specific way." (32:24) “If it was a bounder picking up repeated calf injuries during those, excuse me, during those warm up sprint efforts that they get week after week or even in the speed sessions, then we might try and get them to focus on a slightly higher step rate.” (38:30) “What I have fairly consistently found though is that when meaningful changes to those reactive strength stiffness like qualities have been made, typically through a combination of pliers and isometric work, although more along the lines of plyos, contact times typically become a bit shorter. And as a result, what you see therefore is that those player acceleration strategies often move slightly more towards bouncer or bounder strategies where contact times are short relative to their flight times.” (41:11) "Sometimes it is about trying to identify what might be relatively simple deficits from a strength perspective in an individual and going after those to change their technique as opposed to directly cuing them to do something."
