Attention football players who need SPEED!
This program is designed for any athlete who wants to increase their football Speed to help them dominate on the field. Football athletes are made up of highly tuned skills of speed, quickness, agility, power and change of direction. These are Speed skills that can be developed with the proper training and program design to help you in your upcoming season!
The mechanics of speed that an athlete must develop in order to optimize playing ability include:
- Linear Speed – the average straight-ahead speed sprint is 10 – 12 yards.
- Lateral Change of Direction Speed – athletes must be able to move quickly in any direction throughout a game. The key element is to be able to maintain high speed through all these changes of direction.
- Avoidance – players must be able to start and stop quickly to avoid the opponent without losing any momentum!
- Powr & Acceleration – athletes must be able to build to their top speed very quickly and frequently throughout the game.
In order to help our athletes acquire these attributes, SST has developed FOOTBALL FAST
