Jesse Green - Director, Performance & Sport Science for the Pittsburgh Penguins - joins us for the 78th episode of MTN. On today's episode of the podcast we dive into a conversation centered around the countermovement jump and force plate usage. This was a niche conversation where we got to go an inch wide and a mile deep. Probably the most enjoyable version of any conversation we are able to have on the pod.
