Ryan Grubbs - Director of Reconditioning and Speed Development with the Houston Texans - joins us for the 97th episode of MTN. On today's episode of the podcast, we dive into both the return to play process that Ryan is a part of with the team and we flow into conversation about the kinematics of on-field/speed development that they tend to focus on in both return from injury and general training. This was an incredibly interesting episode that dives right into major areas of interest for all three of us.

Dr. John Harry - Professor & Director of Sport and Occupational Neuromechanics Lab at Texas Tech University - joins us for the 96th episode of MTN. On this episode of the podcast, we start and end with jumping. However, within that conversation we dive down multiple rabbit holes that were incredibly interesting. From understanding the differences between landing from a jump and landing from a depth drop, to the changes in joint work with perceived effort and different loads, this conversation was a masterclass in the mechanics of jumping.
