Unlocking Performance – Bram Swinnen on the Prep2Perform Podcast

In this episode of the Prep2Perform Podcast, we explore:

  • How Velocity-Based Training (VBT) is transforming ACL rehab and return-to-play protocols
  • Why embedded testing is the key to making smarter, real-time decisions
  • The power of microdosing during high-pressure periods
  • Why intensity beats volume – and how to rethink traditional training approaches
  • What makes Output Sports’ technology effective for rehab and performance work
  • How to avoid “data overload” by focusing on relevance, simplicity, and context
  • How Bram balances research, gut feeling, and athlete feedback in his decision-making

We also discuss how physios, coaches, and performance staff can implement data-driven tools without overwhelming their setup – or their athletes.
