• Q&A: Effective Speed Training & Groin Injury Rehab EXPLAINED! - #162

  “Struggling with nagging groin pain that just won’t quit? You’re not alone!” Groin injury rehab—a frustrating and often misunderstood part of athletic performance.

I'm talking about an individualised approach that go beyond basic exercises to tackle your movement mechanics and restore true strength. 📌 TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Introduction and Solo Episode Overview 0:34 Speed Training: Session Design and Key Considerations 5:02 Principles of Speed, Volume, and Progression 9:59 Responding to Audience Q&A on Groin and Hip Rehab 18:06 Addressing Movement Quality and Mechanics in Rehab 23:10 Improving Ankle Reactivity and Reducing Hip Load 28:02 Comprehensive Advice on Strength, Mobility, and Recovery ----- Join the Conversation ----- Have thoughts or questions about today’s episode?
