Each week, I will take you through workouts that progress in skill level that will have you becoming faster, more agile and more explosive than your competition.
Currently, most "speed" programs are just watered down conditioning work. Doing 10 sets of 100 yard sprints, or doing endless shuttle runs is hard, but it is NOT what is making you faster. Let me be clear! This is NOT a conditioning program!
-Daily warm up
-Daily skill work
-Plyometric and power based drills specific to the task at hand.
-Daily workouts to improve the goal of the day.
Day 1= Acceleration- Short burst sprints. Think "First few steps"
Day 2= Top End Speed- Think maximal sprinting ability
Day 3= Change of direction and agility-Think getting away from or getting to an opponent.
