Gerry talks about the ongoing battle between focusing on strength and speed, and what really should be the topic of conversation. He explains the context of speed movements and the relationship of strength and force production when it comes to dynamic movements.

From there, he gives a guide on how you can blend both effectively and how you can utilize testing to determine when an athlete should focus on strength or when they should shift priority to other means that will improve speed and general explosiveness.
