Jim and Stephen discuss how strength and conditioning helps an athlete reach their full potential through speed and power movements, the right workout programs, and through the integration of new technology. Plus, the guys break down some misconceptions about speed, how much of a factor genetics play in an athlete reaching their full potential.
