HERE'S WHAT WE DO:
Stretching and Agilities: Consist of quick high knees and butt kickers to improve fast twitch muscles and to improve flexibility in your legs. Flexibility through your quads, hamstrings, and hips are all imperative in gaining speed.
Tennis ball drops: This drill will be great for first step explosion and quickness. For most people this is what makes or breaks them in a 40 or 60 yard dash.
Form running: Many athletes run with bad form, causing themselves to constantly throw their weight in the wrong direction. To increase speed, you must stay in straight lines. This class will introduce numerous mechanical drills to improve your form. All players can benefit from this drill and see improvements that really make a difference.
Extension: Once you have peaked at top speed, extension will help you maintain and even pick up additional speed. We will be working with small hurdles encouraging the player to reach up with their knees and extend over the hurdle using the flexibility in the hamstrings. This will allow you to gain more ground, which is what you want to maximize your stride length.
This is a great opportunity for all athletes working to increase their speed, agility, and develop their physical fitness in preparation for their season.
