This video isn’t a highlight reel, it’s a real world look at how high-performance strength & power sessions for elite female AFLW athletes are built, coached, and analysed.

Here are 4 reasons you should watch it.

1. It Demonstrates How to Build a True Full Body Strength & Power Day

Most coaches either chase fatigue, chase numbers, or chase “functional” trends.

Coach Jordi Taylor does none of that.

Instead, he demonstrates how to:

• Anchor the session around a key adaptation lift

• Sequence movement prep into power work

• Transition into maximal strength safely

2. It Demonstrates Coaching Intent — Not Just Exercise Selection

There’s a massive difference between ''here’s a lift'' and “here’s why we’re using this lift, for this athlete, at this time.”

This session shows how:

• Maddie Quinn's limb lengths influence lift selection

• Mechanical positioning affects safety and force output

• Prep work bridges neural readiness into heavy loading

• Accessories reinforce primary adaptations

You’ll see deliberate sequencing — not randomness.

3. It Shows How to Integrate Testing With Training

Most environments fall short because they either test separately from training or don’t test meaningfully at all

This session integrates Counter Movement Jump (CMJ) testing and Isometric Mid Thigh Pull (IMTP) testing directly into the training.

It means:

• Power output isn’t guessed

• Fatigue isn’t assumed

• Progress isn’t emotional
  

  4. The Most Valuable Part of the Video Happens After the Lifting

Load tracking and session analysis is critical to long-term athletic development.

Jordi Taylor outlines why he uses Lumin Strength's Session Analysis to review Maddie's session and what data he's looking for.

It's an integral part of the process.
