"How strong is strong enough?" Gavin Moir
"Evidence from a number of different types of research as well as observational data indicates that maximum strength is strongly related to sports performances that rely on speed and power. Although explaining performance in strength/power sports is a multi-factorial problem there is little doubt that maximum strength is a key component. Thus, it may be stated 'you are never too strong'."

"Is Olympic lifting relevant to developing athletic power?" Luke Behncke
"Olympic Lifts are distinct and separate skills, also encompassing distinct and separate abilities from those
experienced in sport. Therefore, not only are Olympic Lifting abilities non transferable and distinct from sporting motor skills, but also the subsequent motor programs they produce."

"No glutes - no results" Kelly Baggett
"Too many people have non-existent glutes. From a strength perspective, if you were to consciously go in the weight room and do nothing but attack your glutes like a bodybuilder attacks his biceps, or a bench press specialist attacks the strength his triceps, you wouldn’t be that far off the mark. I don't believe it's possible for an athlete to have TOO much glute strength."

"Olympic lifting - sheep walking again" Vern Gambetta
"Olympic lifting movements are viable and have a place across the spectrum of sports because of their potential for power development. But the movements must be adapted and modified to fit the athlete. It must fit the athlete literally. Body proportions must be carefully considered. Significant modification must be made for the tall athlete."

"Plyometrics" A. Faccioni
"The term plyometrics can be used to describe any exercise that allows the athletes to take advantage of the
stretch-shortening cycle to produce an explosive movement."

"Power development" C. Robberds
"The optimal training resistance method for developing fast force production is widely debated by researchers.
In light of this controversy, a review on the subject is appropriate."

"Power: what it is and how to get it" Kelly Baggett
"Power is just as dependent upon speed as it is force. It is synonymous with speed-strength or explosive strength, the holy grail amongst those who desire athletic greatness. ... Because sports movements rely on a combination of force as well as speed, they inherently require more power and the athletes engaging in them often display more power then the guy who lifts a huge load of iron.

"The ultimate maximal strength booster" Chad Waterbury
"expose the muscles, tendons, and ligaments to a load that’s much greater than it’s accustomed to and the body will respond by building more strength."

"The use of medicine balls for speed and power development" A. Faccioni
"A training modality that ... has just started to make a revival is the use of medicine balls to transfer
strength gains to speed and power movements."

"Training for speed strength" Denis Knowles
"An outline of speed strength development, looking at traditional weight training methods, time controlled
speed strength development and plyometrics."
