Speed Strength

Speed Strength is an absolute beauty! The setup of the book easily spreads out each aspect of sprint mechanics and training. The graphs, pictures, and sentence structure really allowed me to absorb so much information. I can’t wait to implement some of these methods with my athletes. Easily one of the best training books I have ever read. I learned so much valuable training information. Can’t believe this much information is available at this price. Looking forward to listening to the podcast more and reading more of Joel’s content!

If you are a coach and want to help your athletes get faster and improve performance on the field/track. This is a must-own book!! It is a very comprehensive book that not only teaches technique for sprinting it can helps you understand and even question methods in the weight room. This book is very thorough and I appreciate all the insights and information

Very holistic approach to speed training. Awesome content about how humans naturally know how to run fast but sometimes get coached out of it. Great info on mechanics, different ways to train different athletes, how and when to use the weight room to help progress speed and when to not use it. Overall an awesome book, and one that I'll keep going back to and learn from.

I read speed strength and it was one the best books I have ever read. I was then determined to get to know Ioel personally. It just so happened he moved to where I lived by so I aksed him to come train with him. He was kind enough to give me a chance to train with him. In just a short amount of time not only has he helped me overcome physical barriers he has really got me back to the heart of what it means to be a human. I am really fortunate to have him in my life and if anybody has the chance to come see him in person I will not a doubt in my heart know he can help in some way.

The book covers sprinting mechanics very well. It also has photos and video links showing plyometric and strength training. New research shows heavy sleds can help you sprint faster.

I have read a number of speed training/sprint mechanics books and Joel's work is second to none. His concepts and explanations break the mold of commonly held beliefs and give fresh insight into the art of getting faster. Many of the methods laid out in this book have paid immediate dividends both for my performance and the performance of my athletes. This is a must read for any track/strength and conditioning coach.

By far the best book about the sprint technique and training. Especially the importance of horizontal power production and then the description of the role of hip strength is really unique. Trying myself to document this and have found this book as extremely valuable source.

Scientific based analysis on what and how you need to spend your time and energy on to improve your athletes speed

Complete. Great layout. Explanations. From anatomy to exercises to programming. The why's.

I have read over a hundred books on strength and conditioning for athletes and this is among the best.This type of book was badly needed for GAA.Its very easy to follow and full of brilliant ideas suitable for people new to this area and also for people like me who have experience .I especially like the simple and clear instructions on how to perform each exercise and the suggested programmes.I wish this type of book was available to me when I got into this profession several years ago as it would have stopped me making numerous mistakes.

This book was a game-changer for me! The book is absolutely worth buying it.The book is an easy read because he breaks down the literature, evidence-based information and his overwhelming knowledge from his podcasts in a way everyone can understand it.The author provides clear information all way from beginning to end. He describes every aspect of sprinting in detail which helped me a lot to understand this complex human movement better. Further, he provides pictures and videos for training purposes and explains also why he prefers these to sum everything up on how to plan sprint training.

Muy buen libro de fuerza y velocidad.

An outstanding resource for coaches, athletes and anyone looking to improve their speed. The content follows a logical process and lays enough groundwork for any reader to understand the next chapter. I will be applying many of the learnings and would certainly recommend this to others.
