In this episode of the Performance Matters Podcast, Matrixx and Aidan pull back the curtain on one of the most talked-about tools in sport science: the force plate. We dive into what the data actually means, which numbers we care about (and which ones are just noise), and how we connect those metrics to real-world sport performance. From different jumps to sport transfers, we break down how force plates reveal strengths, weaknesses, and progress that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Whether you’re a coach trying to program smarter, an athlete looking to squeeze out every ounce of performance, or just someone curious about how data shapes training decisions, this deep dive will give you a clearer lens on the numbers under your feet—and why they matter more than you think.
