  • About the Editor
    • Translates mechanical principles (force, moments, impulse) into sport-specific performance insights and coaching cues.
    • Demonstrates how equipment, technique, and environment interact to affect outcomes (e.g., ball flight, impact, and traction).
    • Provides practical measurement methods and simple models coaches can use for technique improvement and injury risk reduction.

Cole Landry is an applied mechanics specialist who translates mechanical principles into performance solutions for athletes and coaches. He focuses on force production, impulse transfer, and equipment-athlete interaction across sports, producing practical guides for optimizing technique and gear selection. Cole runs applied labs and field-based testing programs that use force plates and high-speed video to inform coaching adjustments. He contributes to coach education and consulting for equipment manufacturers on design ergonomics. His ongoing projects investigate how small mechanical adjustments affect energy transfer in sprinting and throwing tasks.
