Want to get quicker off the line? This 4-week program is designed to improve an athlete’s first step, acceleration mechanics, and explosive movement using only bodyweight drills that can be done at home or at a local park.
Built specifically for developing athletes (ages 10+), this program focuses on proper sprint posture, ground force production, coordination, and reactive speed — without overloading growing bodies.
- 3 workouts per week (45–60 minutes)
- No equipment required
- Linear, lateral, and multi-direction speed
- Age-appropriate strength & elastic power work
- Clear weekly progression
Perfect for young athletes in baseball, softball, soccer, football, basketball, or any field/court sport who want to move faster and more confidently.
