What separates elite jumpers from everyone else? According to legendary performance coach Jeremy Fisher, it isn’t just strength—it’s mastering movement.
In this episode of Plates and Pancakes, Steven sits down with one of the most respected coaches in track and field to discuss the biomechanics behind explosive performance. Jeremy breaks down why sprint mechanics, posture, hip position, and technical precision are the true foundations of speed and jumping ability, and how the weight room should enhance those qualities rather than replace them.
The conversation dives into developing high school and collegiate athletes, the importance of teaching movement before loading strength, and why America continues to produce talented jumpers who struggle to transition into international medal contenders.
Whether you’re a strength coach, track and field coach, sports performance coach, athlete, or parent, this episode is packed with practical coaching insights that can immediately improve athletic development.
