In this episode of the Prep2Perform Podcast, we speak with Bram Swinnen – high performance coach, bestselling author (Strength Training for Soccer), and trusted advisor to Olympic committees, national federations, and elite teams across the globe. With over 25 years of experience in football, basketball, athletics, and tennis, Bram shares practical insights into the evolving world of performance training and rehab – grounded in science, but driven by experience.
In this conversation, we explore:
How Velocity-Based Training (VBT) is transforming ACL rehab and return-to-play protocols
Why embedded testing is the key to making smarter, real-time decisions
The power of microdosing during high-pressure periods
Why intensity beats volume – and how to rethink traditional training approaches
What makes Output Sports’ technology effective for rehab and performance work
How to avoid “data overload” by focusing on relevance, simplicity, and context
How Bram balances research, gut feeling, and athlete feedback in his decision-making
We also discuss how physios, coaches, and performance staff can implement data-driven tools without overwhelming their setup – or their athletes.
