The Box Squat vs Traditional Squat is a debate coaches have discussed for the past several decades. Strength coaches either love or hate the box squat, but like everything else, it’s a tool. In this thread, we will look at benefits, misconceptions, and possible risks. <Thread>
Is it a coincidence my guys are crushing? Love my Ballers! @1NolanAllen5
It's so obvious how the Olympic lifts and their derivatives are so specific to acceleration improvement. Now that we have years of data from @GymAware with athletes from all calibers, I can't see a debate.

Get stronger. Develop power. Improve reactive properties. Manage fatigue.
And most importantly, SPRINT!

Here's how we organize our speed training:
Acceleration: Starting strength, absolute strength, horizontal force production.
Transition: Speed-strength and rapid force production.
Max Velocity: Reactive strength, tendon stiffness, and eccentric strength.

Strength matters, but strength at the right time, contraction, rate, magnitude, and vector matters more. This is why @GymAware is so important.
Strength Transfers Specifically. The S.A.I.D. Principle could eliminate so many useless arguments if coaches actually understood it.

Can you improve sprint speed in the weight room? Absolutely.
But here's the deal: Sprinting makes athletes faster. The weight room develops the strength, power, and reactive qualities necessary to maximize their potential.
Here's how we approach it. 👇

Max Velocity = Reactive Strength + Stiffness
Weyand et al. (2000) demonstrated faster running speeds are associated w greater ground forces not simply faster leg turnover.
At max vel. athletes must absorb & reapply force instantly.
Tendon stiffness & the SSC become critical.

Thank you @BrevardMbb for having me on campus yesterday! I enjoyed touring campus, learning more about the program, and watching practice. Appreciate the time and opportunity!
@DavieHSBB @AscensionBball
Hard work pays off @AidenHorton09
Another one in. USMMA saw something they liked and put an offer on the table. His Mother and I appreciate the coaches for the time,the opportunity, and for believing in @AidenHorton09 . The process stays the same. Keep on stacking days and making plays. #KeepAscending 👨✈️⚓️🇺🇸

Thankyou Coach @2_adjames for stopping by Davie County and taking the time to speak with me today! DCAW @CoachHinson72 @DavieHSFootball

If strength & power improve but sprint times don't, something's missing.
Testing helps us identify this missing piece.
Bottom Line:
The goal isn't to create the strongest athlete in the weight room. It's to create the athlete who can apply the most force in the shortest time.
Get stronger. Develop power. Improve reactive properties. Manage fatigue.
And most importantly, SPRINT!
