Sam Portland, a speed coach, discusses his philosophy on training speed and power. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the general physical qualities of training and how they feed into speed. He also talks about the role of specialization and how specific training must be tailored to the competitive task. Sam highlights the significance of reflexive inhibition and the ability to relax and let go to generate speed and power. He mentions using oscillatory isometrics and LILA (micro loads) as training methods to develop these qualities. Timestamps
