⚡️ SPRINT FASTER BY FIXING POSITION ⚡️

Speed isn’t just about moving your legs faster—it’s about putting your body in the right positions to apply force and cycle efficiently.

Here we’re using the TuffTread High-Speed Treadmill to correct hip position at max velocity.

By improving the athlete’s hip position, we can:

🔥 Shorten the recovery phase
🔥 Improve front-side mechanics
🔥 Reduce excessive backside action
🔥 Get the foot back underneath the body faster
🔥 Create a more efficient sprint cycle

The goal isn’t simply to tell an athlete to “run faster.” The goal is to teach them the mechanics that ALLOW them to run faster.

When the hips are in the right position, the recovery leg can cycle through more efficiently, the knee attacks forward, and the athlete spends less time behind their center of mass.

Better position ➡️ shorter recovery ➡️ better front-side mechanics ➡️ MORE SPEED. 🚀

At Benson Sports Training, we don’t just train speed—we teach athletes how to sprint. Vance Singer

🔥 UNDER 10? THIS IS WHEN SPEED TRAINING STARTS. 🔥

Not with heavy sleds.
Not with endless conditioning.
Not by yelling, “RUN FASTER!”

It starts by teaching kids HOW TO SPRINT.

⚡ Posture
⚡ Arm action
⚡ Knee drive
⚡ Foot placement
⚡ Rhythm
⚡ Coordination
⚡ Acceleration mechanics

At this age, the goal isn’t to create the fastest 9-year-old in town.

The goal is to BUILD THE MOVEMENT SKILLS that can create a fast 15-, 16-, and 17-year-old athlete.

Speed is a skill.

And just like throwing, hitting, shooting, or dribbling, the earlier an athlete learns proper technique, the more time they have to master it.

Don’t wait until high school to fix years of bad movement patterns.

🔥 TEACH IT EARLY. TRAIN IT RIGHT. BUILD THE ATHLETE.

FAST FEET. BETTER ATHLETES. ⚡

Foot speed isn’t just about how quickly an athlete can move their feet—it’s about coordination, balance, rhythm, body control, and the ability to react.

For young athletes, developing these skills creates a foundation that carries over to almost every sport.

🏀 Better defensive movement
⚾ Quicker reactions and change of direction
🏈 More explosive cuts and acceleration
⚽ Improved agility and body control
🏐 Faster positioning and reaction speed

At Benson Sports Training, we don’t expect young athletes to already be coordinated. We train coordination.

Foot speed and coordination are learnable skills, and the earlier athletes are exposed to quality movement training, the more tools they have as they grow, get stronger, and their sport becomes faster.

Don’t just train young athletes to be stronger.

Teach them how to MOVE.

⚾️ SINGLE-LEG POWER MATTERS IN BASEBALL

Baseball is rarely played with both feet planted evenly on the ground. Whether you’re pitching, hitting, accelerating out of the box, stealing a base, or changing direction in the field, you’re constantly producing and transferring force one leg at a time.

That’s why we measure and train single-leg power at Benson Sports Training.

In this video, Sam Schroeder performs a single-leg vertical jump—one of the ways we can evaluate an athlete’s ability to produce explosive force off one leg.

For pitchers especially, the lower body plays a huge role in creating and transferring force up the kinetic chain. The stronger and more explosive an athlete can be independently on each leg, the better foundation they have to produce speed and power on the mound.

Train both legs. Measure both legs. Find the weaknesses. Build more power.

Baseball performance isn’t just about having a strong arm.

⚾️ BASEBALL IS A SINGLE-LEG POWER SPORT.

If you want to know how explosive a young baseball player really is, don’t just measure a two-leg vertical. Measure each leg individually.

All-State baseball player Jaxon Reeder recently hit a 20-INCH SINGLE-LEG VERTICAL JUMP. 🔥

Why does that matter for baseball?

Think about the game: sprinting, stealing bases, changing direction, pushing off the mound, driving through a swing and exploding out of the batter’s box. Baseball constantly asks athletes to produce force off one leg.

Testing single-leg vertical power gives us valuable information about:

⚾ Explosiveness
⚾ Right-to-left leg differences
⚾ Force production
⚾ Balance and stability
⚾ Athletic development

For young baseball players, the goal isn’t just to get stronger. It’s to learn how to apply that strength quickly and efficiently.

Strength + Speed = POWER.

And power changes the game.

Great work, Jaxon. 20 inches off ONE LEG! 💥

CORE STRENGTH IS MORE THAN ABS.

This exercise is a great example of what true core strength and stability look like.

A 15-second eccentric pull-up is already demanding. Now add continuous scissor kicks while slowly controlling the descent.

The upper body is fighting to maintain position.
The legs are moving independently.
And the core has to connect and stabilize everything in between.

That’s what athletes need.

A strong, stable core allows you to transfer force between the upper and lower body, maintain position under stress, and control your body while your arms and legs are producing movement.

We don’t train the core just to make it stronger.

We train it to make the entire athlete stronger.

💪 Control. Stability. Strength. Athleticism.

STRONG CORE. STRONG SINGLE-LEG CONTROL. STRONGER ATHLETE. 💪🔥

The overhead pistol squat is a great example of what athletic strength really looks like.

For young female athletes, developing core strength and unilateral (single-leg) strength is critical. Nearly every sport requires athletes to accelerate, decelerate, jump, land, cut, and change direction off one leg.

This movement challenges:

🔥 Core stability — maintaining posture and controlling the trunk
🔥 Single-leg strength — producing force independently on each side
🔥 Hip & knee stability — controlling alignment throughout the movement
🔥 Balance & coordination — connecting the upper and lower body
🔥 Mobility — especially through the ankles, hips, and shoulders

We don’t just want athletes who are strong when everything is perfectly balanced on two feet.

We want athletes who can control their body, stabilize under load, and produce force from either leg.

For young female athletes, building that foundation can translate to better movement, greater explosiveness, and more confidence on the court or field.

Build the foundation. Then build the athlete.
