Webinar Series - Dr Jo Brown The Glute Myth

Speed Lab Webinar #2 – The Glute Myth

with Jo Brown

Are glutes really the key driver of sprint performance—or is that an oversimplification?

In this Speed Lab webinar, Jo Brown challenges one of the most common beliefs in sprint training: the idea that “stronger glutes automatically mean faster sprinting.”

Through a biomechanical and neuromuscular perspective, this session will explore:

• how sprinters actually produce force at high speed

• why many athletes struggle to effectively use their glutes while sprinting

• the difference between gym strength and on-track application

• how coaching cues and exercises can either help or hinder sprint mechanics

This webinar is ideal for coaches, therapists and practitioners who want to better understand how strength, coordination and sprint mechanics interact—without falling into misleading shortcuts.

What’s included:

• Live webinar (45’ + 15’ Q&A)

• Full replay available for 12 months

• PDF slides

• Access via ilCoach Academy

A thought-provoking session that will help you rethink common assumptions and refine your sprint coaching approach.
