Data-Driven Performance: Leveraging Sports Science in Football to Maximize Athletic Potential

Join us on Wednesday, February 18, at 2:30 p.m. ET for a free webinar with Drake Berberet, Quincy Johnson, and Madi Rink. 🏈

This webinar explores how sport science is shaping football through a collaborative effort between coaches and scientists. We’ll dive into the role of force plates in monitoring athlete health and optimizing performance, highlighting findings from recent research: test-retest reliability, countermovement jump (CMJ) performance profiles and benchmarks, and CMJ changes throughout fall camp. Attendees will gain actionable insights backed by data, publications, and case studies.
