Parisi Podcast 015- Overrated, Underrated, or Properly Rated? — Speed Training Tools with Steve Leo

In this episode of the Parisi Performance Podcast, Steve Leo—head track and cross country coach at Fairleigh Dickinson University and longtime Parisi Speed School Master Coach—joins Casey to play a game of “overrated, underrated, or properly rated.” Steve weighs in on sled sprints, wickets, mini hurdles, agility ladders, and data-driven tech, explaining how he categorizes training days, balances intensity with recovery, and uses his “thermostat” coaching philosophy to meet athletes where they are. He also shares insights on common soft-tissue injuries, the role of fascia, and why simplicity and intent often beat complexity in speed development.
