Specific Training, Plan B Programming and Serve Mechanics (w/ Coach Dan Pfaff)

Beyond the Swing Podcast by Matt Kuzdub

Episode notes

Coach Pfaff has been a direct mentor of mine for the last 6 years. I've learned more through his apprenticeship than any course, book or research article. With over 40 years of coaching experience, coach Pfaff has been through it all - in the trenches with world-class sprinters, consulting to ATP, WTA, NFL, NHL pro teams and today, he leads the ALTIS elite mentorship program.

In this podcast, coach Pfaff and I dive into various topics including what specific work/training truly is, why contingency programming is key at the elite levels of sport and the intricate relationships between serve mechanics and skill acquisition + physiology.
