A concise walkthrough of the curriculum, the practitioner framework, and how the course translates force plate data into better decisions.
THE PROBLEM
Force plates produce more data.
They do not automatically produce better decisions.
Most practitioners are handed dozens of metrics, colorful dashboards, and very little direction on what any of it should change.
This course gives you the mental model first, then the tools. You will understand what happened, why it matters, and what to do next.
THE PRACTITIONER PATH
From a jump to a decision.
Collect
Build a testing process you can trust, from jump selection to clean data collection.
Interpret
Understand the force-time curve, the phases that shape it, and the metrics that actually matter.
Apply
Turn results into better conversations, sharper decisions, and more targeted training.
THE CURRICULUM
Comprehensive enough to master.
Focused enough to finish.
Five modules move from first principles to confident application, without burying you in complexity for complexity’s sake.
Foundations
History, physics, theory, technology, and the principles that make force plate data make sense.
Reading the jump
Phases, force-time traces, jump types, data collection, and real case studies.
Metrics that matter
Metric selection, analysis, interpretation, and phase-specific exercise selection.
Advanced application
Fatigue, asymmetries, testing modality, monitoring, and practical decision-making.
Labs + practitioner tools
A live jump testing lab, whiteboard lab, force-velocity profiling, and the complete jumping framework.
NOT JUST THEORY
See the data.
Understand the athlete.
Shape the training.
You will work through real traces, testing decisions, and phase-specific exercise selection so the learning transfers directly to your coaching environment.
- Real jump testing and interpretation
- Case studies and force-time traces
- Phase-specific training applications
