LSU strength and conditioning coach Tommy Moffitt received the unusual email in January from Jacob Rothman, the chief executive and co-founder of a company called Perch. The fitness startup wanted LSU to test a device it created to collect data in the area of “velocity-based training,” a weightlifting technique in which coaches prescribe and measure how fast athletes move a weighted barbell in addition to total weight and repetitions. This kind of training increases power and explosiveness, key aspects of impeding defensive linemen and breaking tackles.
