BODYWEIGHT ZERO FORCE FLIGHT LANDING THE DIP THE BRAKE THE DRIVE
Every metric your system spits out lives somewhere on this curve. The dip, the brake, the drive — once you can read the phases, the numbers stop being noise and start being answers. That's the thread running through all three nights.

The Force Plate Practitioner course

Jumping with Force Plates · 2024 Force Plate Practitioner · 2026

Two years ago we released Jumping with Force Plates. Thousands of practitioners used it to make sense of their first CMJ reports. Since then, the field moved — and so did the course.

The Force Plate Practitioner is the rebuilt evolution: expanded to 80 lessons covering the physics behind the trace, the phases that structure it, the metrics that actually matter, and the application of all of it to performance and rehab. It's the reference you go back to after the live nights end.

Sold on its own, the course is $399. Your Accelerator registration includes every lesson at no extra cost.

80 Lessons · Lifetime access

The physics

Force, impulse, velocity, power — what the plate measures and what it can't.

The phases

The dip, the brake, the drive. How to segment a trace and why boundaries matter.

The metrics

Which numbers carry signal, which are redundant, and how to build a shortlist you trust.

The application

Testing protocols, monitoring workflows, and reporting for performance and rehab settings.

Live labs

Hands-on labs for jumps, isometrics, and the stretch-shortening cycle — watch the tests run and the data get read in real time.

From the original course

The course carries its own weight.

The Force Plate Practitioner is built from Jumping with Force Plates. Here's what practitioners said about the original — before it grew to 80 lessons.

As someone who is relatively new to force plates, I was overwhelmed with all of the data and metrics available. This course broke everything down in a way that made the information retainable and boosted my confidence in working with force plates!
Brandon Johnson
I have used force plates for 20 years and found this course helpful to look back on foundational principles and current research! Highly recommend this course!
Michael Davie20 years working with force plates
Not only takes the complex and makes it more easily digestible, but also gives a ton of practical application that can be used immediately.
Dustin WillisPhysical therapist working in sports
This course provides so much thorough information on how, why, and when to use force plates. After purchasing two new force plates, I was more than prepared to best utilize force plates with our athletes.
Rick LefebvreDirector of Athletic Performance, Jesuit Dallas
Significantly boosted my confidence and deepened my understanding of force plate technology and its applications… I recommend this course to all members of the sports medicine staff.
Benji ArjonaLAT, ATC
Ramsey excels at breaking down a complex subject in a practical way, making it beneficial for both novice and experienced force plate users. No matter your experience level, you'll leave with fresh insights and a refined framework.

Who this is for

Wherever you are with force plates, there's a night built for you.

Beginner

New to force plates

You have the plates — or you're about to — and the reports are a wall of numbers. Start with night one: the physics, the phases, and a shortlist of metrics that actually matter. The 80-lesson course backs it all up at your own pace.

Intermediate

Testing regularly, deciding rarely

You collect data every week but it doesn't change what happens in the weight room. Night two shows you how to use force plates for fatigue monitoring — what shifts, what doesn't, and how to turn a trend into a training decision.

Advanced

Making the high-stakes calls

You're clearing athletes to return to sport, and gut feeling isn't defensible — to the athlete, the surgeon, or the head coach. Night three goes beyond simple asymmetry numbers to what force plates can and can't tell you about readiness after injury.

Questions

FAQ

What if I miss a session? +

Every lecture is recorded and added to your account, usually within 24 hours. You keep the recordings for good, so you can attend live, watch later, or both.

Is the full course really included? +

Yes. All 80 lessons of the Force Plate Practitioner course — the same course that sells on its own for $399 — are included with your registration. It isn't a trial or a sample. You get the whole thing.

How long do I have access? +

Lifetime. The live recordings and the full course stay in your account, including any future updates to the course material.

Does this work with my force plate system? +

Yes. The event and the course teach the principles — what the trace means and how to make decisions from it — not one vendor's software. Whether you run VALD, Hawkin Dynamics, or another system, the framework applies.
