What Is Athletic Power?
Power isn’t just strength — it’s how fast you can use it.
It’s the ability to produce force quickly so you can sprint, jump, and react with intensity.
Think: first-step explosiveness, vertical jumps, or delivering contact with force.
Why Power Matters
✅ Explosive Performance – Turns strength into speed
✅ Faster First Steps – More force off the line or out of a cut
✅ Better Jumping & Landing – More height and control
✅ Sport-Specific – Direct carryover to sprinting, cutting, reacting
How to Train It
Power = Strength × Speed
Train with intent. Move fast. Prioritize quality.
Key Methods:
Speed-Strength Work (trap bar jumps, banded squats)
Jumps (broad, vertical, pogo)
Med Ball Throws (slams, rotational, scoop)
Olympic Variations (clean pulls, jump shrugs)
The Bottom Line
Power connects weight room strength to real-game explosiveness.
It sharpens speed, reactivity, and performance.
