Measure Running Mechanics to Improve Sprint Speed and Improve Health

Cheeky Mid Weeky by Strength Coach Network

Episode notes

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jason Weber, founder of SpeedSig and former high-performance coach with over 20 years in elite sport. We dive deep into the practical side of sprint mechanics, injury risk, and return-to-play strategies for field sport athletes.

Jason shares how SpeedSig helps coaches get real-time feedback on key metrics like ground contact time, thigh angular velocity, and more—so you can make smarter programming decisions and spot potential issues before they become injuries.

We cover:

  • How to improve horizontal force application in sprinting
  • Why light sleds can sharpen max velocity mechanics
  • The role of measurement in better coaching decisions
  • Practical strategies for returning athletes to high-speed running safely
