In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most important — yet often overlooked — aspects of football performance: deceleration.
Together with Lucas Galmiche, we discussed:
- The demands of deceleration in modern football
- Why decelerating after curved sprints is not the same as linear sprinting
- How to assess deceleration ability in players
- Practical ideas on how to train and improve deceleration control
- The role of VALD force plates and NordBord testing in profiling and managing neuromuscular load
If you’re working in performance, rehab, or return-to-play — this is one you don’t want to miss.
