Thanks @kenclarkspeed @tylerjaynoble and @usatf 11 Mar 2026 Had an awesome session of sprint biomechanics testing with Trayvon Bromell @iamtrayvonbromell and Tyler Noble @tylerjaynoble from USATF Sports Science yesterday on The TRACK at New Balance. The testing session included analysis of block starts, acceleration, and top speed mechanics. It was a great early season tune-up and very exciting to see what the rest of 2026 holds! #sprinting #speed #biomechanics #speedtraining #trackandfield 22 Jan 2026 Great trip yesterday with USATF and PURE Athletics. Fun and productive day on the track with Tyler Noble, Lance Brauman, Noah Lyles, Jordan Anthony, and Jaylen Slade. @usatf @tylerjaynoble @lancebrauman @nojo18 @dareal.6ix @theofficialjslade #sprinting #speed #acceleration #maximumvelocity #topspeed #trackandfield #biomechanics #USATF #olympics #OLY 24 Jul 2025 The next lineup is set. 🎙️🏃🏾‍♂️ Beyond the Blocks is back with another run of conversations featuring some of the best minds in Track & Field. From UGA to MoVE, Fast University, Texas Titans, Pure Athletics, Florida, and Stanford — we’re going beyond the times and results to talk coaching, development, recruiting, culture, and what it really takes to compete at the next level. 🎙️ New episodes every other Monday 📺 YouTube 🎧 Spotify | Apple Podcasts First up: Coach Karim Abdel Wahab of UGA — NOVEMBER 9. Follow @beyondtheblockspodcast and turn on notifications so you don’t miss an episode. Track Changes Lives. 🏁 #BeyondTheBlocks #TrackAndField #TrackAndFieldPodcast #NCAATrackAndField #SprintTraining 08 Nov 2026 It’s imperative to understand the “Why” behind what you do. Being able to decipher quality information is a skill that needs constant refinement. Begin to self audit your program, or better yet, utilize a community to be able to challenge your methodology 🤝 While this can feel uncomfortable at first, this is an incredible way to promote growth within your process. USR prides ourselves on delivering the most supported & practical education possible. #USR 05 Nov 2026 Episode 174 with @kenclarkspeed is LIVE 🎧 • One of the best in the game. Hear from Ken dish on research and application in the sprint space 🎙️ • Special shoutout to our sponsors for continuing to elevate the game: @plyomat_aat @hytro_ @samson_eq @hawkindynamics @1080motion #MTNPodcast 28 Oct 2026 Dropping episode 174 with @kenclarkspeed first thing tomorrow 🎙️ • One of the best conversations regarding speed development we’ve ever had. From research to application. Tune in tomorrow! • Every Wednesday, Free Game 🚀 #MTNPodcast 27 Oct 2026 great APPLIED SPORT SCIENCE session last week with Coach Steve Bahn @banh_sc at Conestoga Valley High School. The on-track portion included testing and analysis of Block Starts, Initial Acceleration, Transitional Acceleration, and Top Speed Flys. The athletes did an outstanding job and it was very productive to connect and share ideas with Coach Banh! Also had the opportunity to present to the CVHS physical education students regarding careers in sports science and to discuss the application of biomechanics and motor learning to the evaluation of sprinting. The latest updates to the MoVE video analysis software worked great thanks to the efforts of Dr. Larry Ryan, and much thanks to the help with the video analysis from Chris Meng @christopherronaldmeng #sprinting #biomechanics #acceleration #topspeed #sportscience 26 Oct 2026 A few nights ago @fingermash & @kenclarkspeed delivered an absolute masterclass on Video Analysis and Sprint Archetyping! If you missed it, don’t worry, all you have to do is comment “Watch” and we’ll send it directly to you ✊ We hope you enjoy! #USR 17 Oct 2026 SPEED SCIENCE SEGMENT: leading up to our Universal Speed Rating webinar, here is another short video (4 min) where we dive into the science of Sprint Quadrant Profiling. In this segment, we look at the different running styles and spatiotemporal kinematic strategies utilized by athletes in acceleration or top speed. For coaches working with either Track & Field or Team Sport athletes, understanding the Sprint Quadrant Profiling system can be beneficial from both a performance and injury risk standpoint. Be sure to check out our webinar to learn more about this topic and be on the lookout for more great content from the Univeral Speed Rating Speed Science Institute. @universalspeedrating @les7spellman @fingermash @kenclarkspeed #SpeedScienceInstitute #biomechanics #sprinting #speed 13 Oct 2026 Is your speed training backed by physics—or just tradition? ⚡️ Most speed models treat top speed as a black box. But when milliseconds dictate multi-million dollar outcomes, intuition isn‘t enough. Swipe through for a deep dive into sprint biomechanics, force application kinetics, and speed science built for elite sports. Key Takeaways: • Why the first 30–40ms of ground contact determines top-end velocity • Translating track & field force profiling to multidirectional team sports • Max velocity ceiling vs. initial acceleration in short-distance speed Built for Strength Coaches, Sport Scientists, PTs & Performance Directors operating at the highest level. 10 Oct 2026 More data doesn’t equal better performance. It equals more noise 📊🚫In high-performance environments (NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL), we’re flooded with wearables, force plate metrics, and motion-capture data. But front offices and head coaches don’t need 50 variables—they need 1 or 2 actionable KPIs. Dr. Ken Clark breaks down how top sports scientists filter the noise to deliver metrics that actually inform load monitoring, injury risk, and high-velocity performance. Stop managing spreadsheets. Start guiding decisions. 09 Oct 2026
