JANUARY 26, 2022 | STRIVE, the only platform proven to optimize muscle performance for elite athletes and teams, today announced a partnership with Spellman Performance, America’s elite speed performance institution. Through the partnership, Spellman Performance clients, including athletes training for the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine, will have access to data-driven insights about their muscle activity, allowing these athletes to run faster and achieve peak athletic performance.
Led by Les Spellman, the nationally renowned speed performance coach, Spellman Performance has trained hundreds of NFL and USA Rugby players, Olympians, and NCAA athletes, including numerous NFL first-round draft picks. They help athletes and coaches to master speed through biomechanics, advanced technical training, and individualized programs. With this partnership, Spellman Performance is incorporating insights from STRIVE’s cutting-edge muscle performance data platform into training regimens to help athletes achieve and maintain peak performance.
“For elite athletes, the margin between good speed and great speed is razor-thin. It’s fractions of a second that can determine the trajectory of an athlete’s career,” said Les Spellman, founder of Spellman Performance. “STRIVE is unique in its ability to deliver granular data related to muscle performance, activation and fatigue – all of which are critical factors that impact speed and acceleration. They say you can’t teach speed, but with the insights our athletes get from STRIVE data, that’s exactly what we are doing on an everyday basis.”
STRIVE’s world-leading electromyography (EMG) technology enables elite athletes to monitor the muscle activation of their hamstrings, glutes and quadriceps. Through
proprietary algorithms and sensors that seamlessly integrate into compression clothing, the STRIVE Data Platform delivers accurate and actionable data that helps Spellman Performance clients improve their speed and compete at peak performance.
“They say you can’t teach speed, but with the insights our athletes get from STRIVE data, that’s exactly what we are doing on an everyday basis.

Active recovery workouts and periods of rest are as important as the periods of intense training, as it’s during this time that muscle fibers torn during training are able to rebuild so that they can handle similar stress in the future. But how much intensity is enough, and how much is too much too soon? It’s a difficult question to answer, as each individual athlete is unique and their bodies respond differently.
