Ep. #12: Brent Callaway (VP of Performance, EXOS; Speed Coach) | Deep Dive into NFL Combine Training

Episode 12 features Brent Callaway, who is a Strength & Speed Coach, Consultant, and Vice President of Performance at EXOS.

We discussed the system he has helped to develop and refine for training athletes for the NFL Combine each year. He gave us some insights into their testing and data collection process, how they use that for programming considerations, the logistics of that data collection, and we discussed pretty extensively his thoughts behind speed development.

Specifically, we went into how they structure their overall plan as far as periodization and load management, and also broke down what a typical week would look like within that plan.

We touched on cues for both acceleration and max velocity, and how he has learned to use his coaching eye and intuition to individualize the training regimen to maximize each athlete’s performance.

We trust you’ll have many takeaways from this dialogue and will gain an appreciation for Brent’s attention to detail and clarity in how he explains his training philosophy.
