In sports, the difference between good and great often comes down to one word: power. Power is the key to explosive plays, dominant finishes, and game-changing moments. Power separates the average from the elite. And in today's game, where every inch and every second counts, developing power through Strength Training is essential.
Strength vs. Power: Know the Difference
Strength is how much force an athlete can produce. Power is how fast they can apply that force. That's why, when it comes to performance power changes everything.
Whether it's a lineman firing off the ball, a sprinter exploding out of the blocks, or a basketball player driving to the rim, power is the difference maker.

The FlipSled Advantage
Power is the reason we built the FlipSled. Fundamental training can be seen in every aspect of the weight room - and for good reason. That's why the FlipSled goes back to the basics to build the complete athlete. The FlipSled levels up teams and here are some of the ways it does:
1. Simulates Game-Day Movement
The FlipSled combines the power of pushing, flipping, and most importantly, finishing. This full-motion movement allows athletes to not just practice but actually develop game-day power that translates directly on the field. It's not only about strength, it's also about how you're able to apply it.
2. Reduces Risk
We've heard it a thousand times:
"The FlipSled is just an expensive tire".
Wrong. Tires are made for tractors. The FlipSled is made for athletes. Unlike a tire, the FlipSled was created for safe, effective movements. Its design allows for an overhand grip that promotes better posture and body alignment, reducing the risk of strain or injury. Plus, it supports progressive overload, helping athletes safely build strength and power without overdoing it.
3. Easy To Teach
You don't need to reinvent your program to use the FlipSled. It builds on the fundamentals coaches already know, making it easy to implement across all levels of training. The FlipSled allows you to train with intent and intensity without overcomplicating the process.
Real Results, Real Athletes
Athletic power development isn't just a trend -it's a game changer. From state championship programs to elite college teams, coaches are using the FlipSled football sled to unlock next-level performance. Why? Because power wins.
Athletes using the FlipSled are seeing improvements in explosiveness, strength and game results. Not only is it showing results with the numbers but coaches are seeing more excitement for training, and because the FlipSled is simple to teach, it fits seamlessly into any program.
Why Power Wins Games
In close games, victory often comes down to a fraction of a second or a single inch. Power is what's going to push your line that one last inch into the end zone. It can be the difference between a win and a loss.
When athletes have explosive power, they dominate the line of scrimmage, break away on the sprint, and are able to finish plays. Power fuels quick reactions and shift momentum in game-changing plays. Without power, speed and skill can only take you so far. That's why power isn't just for practice, its a winning strategy. And that's exactly what the FlipSled was built to do: Build power.
