ROUNDTABLE WEBINAR EVENTS
The Collaborate Sports Interactive Webinars focuses on real-world learning, immersive discussion and collaboration.
Speakers will utilise the session to provide thought-provoking discussion and reflection as opposed to a lecture-style webinar. So, take a look at the sessions below and sign up to join us as part of your own personal development!
Topic: Maximising the value of VBT - how to use it across your whole training process
Martin O’Reilley - CEO & Co-Founder
Collaborator: Martin O’Reilley - CEO and C-Founder ofOutput Sports
When: 6th July - 730pm BST / 230pm EST
Martin O’Reilley joins us for the July addition of our interactive webinar. Martin's journey started with his pursuit of a PhD in Machine Learning after completing an undergraduate degree in Sports and Exercise Engineering from the University of Galway. While working in sports science, he recognised that tracking athlete data often required expensive, clunky laboratory equipment, so he co-founded Output Sports in 2018 to develop a versatile, portable system that allows coaches and trainers to easily test, track and optimise training.
Our collaboration with Martin and Output Sports goes back to February of 2021, when we used Output Sports in our preparation for the Olympics with Team GB 7s. From that day on, the product and technology have clearly gone from strength to strength, and we are excited to host him for our next webinar roundtable.
While discussing the themes for the session, we agreed that VBT has so much untapped potential that users aren’t fully optimising. So, by joining us, you will be guided to:
Identify the full range of VBT applications beyond jump testing - understanding where velocity data can be embedded across a training session to inform decision making, rather than being used as a standalone measurement tool.
Apply thresholds to optimise sets in real time - knowing when to stop a set, when fatigue is compromising the intended stimulus, and how to use that information to protect the quality of each training block without guessing.
Use VBT to drive athlete intent, accountability and immediate feedback - creating an environment where velocity targets connect effort to outcome, giving athletes a real-time reference point that reinforces the adaptation you are trying to achieve.
Build a systematic approach to tracking velocity-based progression over time - moving from session-by-session measurement to a longitudinal framework that tells you whether your athletes are actually adapting, plateauing, or declining across a training cycle.
Be sure to join us for another open and exploratory discussion!
