In this episode of Speed Talks with Les Spellman, I talk about the importance of speaking out as coaches. Coaches are multipliers and may impact more people than the professional athletes they're training. It's important to discuss, even if you disagree with my opinion. I'd love to get your feedback on this episode.

In this episode of Speed Talks with Les Spellman, I walk through the various inconsistencies with 40 times. This became extremely relevant when the combine was cancelled and runs were completed on athlete pro days. We need a way to consistently measure athlete speed, and I do not believe the 40 yard dash accomplishes this, especially with inconsistent methods of timing. More to come...
Check out my latest YouTube video talking about each of our athletes leading up to the 2021 NFL Draft. Tune in before tomorrow!
