Ground Force ABCA Presentation

Ground Reaction Forces | Measuring What Drives the Swing

This presentation explores how ground reaction forces shape elite athletic performance and why they matter in the swing.

We walk through how force plate technology is used to measure, interpret, and apply ground reaction force data, showing how it helps us assess athletes and target specific swing improvements. You’ll see what the numbers actually represent, how they connect to movement, and where coaches often misinterpret the data.

Created in collaboration with one of the world’s leading biomechanists and presented at the ABCA Convention, this session bridges high-level biomechanics with real coaching application. We dive into the science, then translate it into practical insights that sharpen a coach’s eye and decision-making process.

The goal isn’t to turn coaches into data analysts. It’s to help you see movement more clearly, ask better questions, and apply science in ways that actually improve swings.
