Episode 229: Derek Hansen - Creating a Sustainable Culture of Speed Within an Organization

This episodes see's the return of Derek Hansen from sprintcoach.com and strengthpowerspeed.com

Derek was previously on episode 211.

Derek is an International Sport Performance Consultant that has been working with athletes of all ages and abilities in speed, strength and power sports since 1988. His coaching career started in Track and Field, providing instruction to sprinters of all ages eventually working with collegiate sprinters, hurdlers and jumpers. His career evolved rapidly working closely with some of the top performers in the world as a coach and a consultant – including Olympic medalists, world record holders, Canadian National team athletes, and professional athletes from numerous sports. He worked as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for Simon Fraser University for 14 years, the first non-US member of the NCAA. He also serves as a performance consultant to numerous professional teams in the NFL, NBA, MLS and NHL, as well as major NCAA Division 1 programs throughout North America, specializing in speed development, strategic performance planning, return-to-competition protocols and neuromuscular electrical stimulation programming. Derek is asked to speak on speed development and high performance training on a regular basis for major events around the world and has also authored a number of books, chapters and journal articles on these subjects.

On this episode:

• I ask Derek about his article Creating a Sustainable Culture of Speed Within an Organization
• I ask Derek can you really diagnose a true speed issue by observation?
• I ask Derek what 20 years of consultation work within elite sport has taught him 
• We speak about involving the front office within the performance training system
• We speak about communication between the professional and private training sectors

 

This was an outstanding episode and I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!

Stay Strong,

RB
