Training for speed is simple (not always easy, but simple) because it really comes down to these 2 things:
1️⃣ A strong foundation. In order to gain explosive speed on the field, you have to perfect the proper mechanics of speed first. You do that with training the body with how to move correctly. Implementing the right, basic and simple movements properly are the game-changing piece to an athletes training plan that will create explosiveness on the field, confidence in an athletes demeanor and more playing time with MVP status. 🎉
2️⃣ Proper Strength Training Plan. Once you have the foundation in place, you want to strengthen the muscles in their proper form for power. My athletes incorporate weightlifting into their training daily - not just weightlifting like the personal trainers do - but an athlete-guided plan that gives speed and power on the field a name. These drills are key to gaining speed quickly. 🔥
Speed training is not achieved by pushing the body to do more as fast as it can. Sure, it might help with conditioning, but if the foundational movements must be properly executed before the conditioning. Otherwise, all you’re doing is emphasizing bad habits that will eventually lead to injuries and more bench than play time.
You don’t have to implement crazy training into your already booked out schedule. The smallest tweaks can be enough to make massive difference on the field.
