The Speed Report - Developing Quickness in your Players, Part II

Training to Get it Right This is where we begin the journey toward change and how we end the journey successfully. The players must go through a series of procedures that progress turnover of limb speed in short, high-intensity rotational patterns. Remember, I indicated earlier that they won’t understand the feeling of quickness. That’s why we need to explain it to them and start by giving them short-limb activity requirements over short distances. If the players are put through this type of activity repetitively, they will begin to adapt new movement patterns quite rapidly. Just hard work is not the standard for development; you’ll lose not only the battle but the entire war for quickness. I am going to give you some training tips and protocol to follow with your athletes that will change the way they currently address quickness as athletes. Let’s Apply Tools for Development
