About this listen
David VanDyke, a veteran strength coach at Rutgers, talks about his basketball training philosophy. VanDyke details his risk-averse, "low and slow barbecue approach" to in-season programming, prioritizing consistency and efficiency with short 20–35 minute workouts. Learn how he implements Velocity-Based Training (VBT) using Elite Form, manages load based on individual athlete feedback and minutes played, and utilizes ConnectsOn and Hawkin force plates for athlete monitoring and long-term trend analysis. The discussion also covers soft tissue work for common basketball foot issues, such as the "toe-up knee bend," and VanDyke's key hiring preferences for self-sufficient, professional problem-solvers. Finally, get rapid-fire resource recommendations, including Cal Dietz Triphasic and books by Ryan Holiday.
