Your athlete is running miles to get faster. Here's what actually builds game speed.
A lot of hardworking kids are told to "go run" to get faster. So they log three miles a day, and their 10-yard time doesn't move.
That's because a slow jog teaches the body to be slow for a long time. Games are won in the first two or three steps.
Speed is trained fast: short, all-out sprints with full rest in between. Fewer reps, more intent. At Flex Affect we time sprints with laser timing gates, so you can see whether your athlete is actually getting faster.
