#fastfeetfriday What are 2 of the most important things you need to do to improve acceleration? Technical drills like A-Series and high knee runs can look cool, but in terms of actually moving the needle on improving speed, it doesn’t even come close to these things: 1. Develop the physical qualities of acceleration: strength and power horizontally. We train horizontal power exercises like broad jumps and bounds, as well as resisted sprinting so that the body can build strength in this vector. 2. STIMULUS! If you don’t use it you lose it, and that’s a simple fact. You can train acceleration 2, sometimes 3 times per week. Speed stimulus exposure will make the biggest difference in getting faster. #athletedevelopment #sportsperformance #speeddevelopment
