Nothing catches the eye of fans, scouts, and coaches more than elite, on-field speed. Itโs the one thing that can change the course of a game in a single play.
Hereโs how to develop game-breaking speed (THREAD)
h/t to the๐@korfist ... go follow him if you don't already.
The warmup for us is not a part of the training session that we breeze over just to get it done. Itโs a critical piece in our training session that serves as a opportunity for development. It contains movement literacy, mobility, coordination, and proprioception
Finally, the fifth step. Get quality sleep. Itโs usually hard to sleep the night before a big game, but a cold shower before bed, a blacked out dark room, and all electronics kept deep in a drawer somewhere will help improve quality of sleep.
The night before game day is crucial. How you prepare for the day to come is vital to your success. Hereโs 5 things you can do to optimize your performance on game day. (THREAD๐งต)
4) VISUALIZATION. Visualization allows the athlete to get extra reps the night before a game. Instruct your athletes to visualize, with great detail, 2-3 plays, executed at a high level. This is best accomplished in a relaxed state. (Preferably after stretching)
BLOOD. DON'T. LIE.
Panels run on 30 elite football players show deficiency/insufficiency as follows:
Omega 3 Index: 29 of 30 below optimal ranges
Vitamin D: 25 of 30 below optimal ranges
Magnesium: 27 of 30 below optimal ranges
TAKE YOUR SUPPLEMENTS!

Good stuff here.
'Letโs focus on what has already worked and refine what gives back faster times, not look for popular drills and new sport science trends.'

The greatest accelerator in the world left us a lot of clues yet coaches are buying into a lot of strange and unproven theories. Instead of speculating we just ask the basic questions and not attempt to make it more complicated?
Here is a ๐งต ๐ชก from the best lessons from Tokyo.
Performance isnโt about how much stress a coach can impose on the athlete, but about how much volume of stress the athlete can recover from and adapt to, and then go and compete again. https://t.co/gmIZgRAxQG via @SimpliFaster
Athletes: acceleration is only as useful as your ability to DECELERATE
It really comes into play w/ many things we do across sport
- Reducing hamstring/knee injury likelihood
- Positively impacting our ability to change directions
- Helping w/ arm health for throwing athletes

"Pre-practice warm-up is max-velocity-themed to retain & touch on the reactive strength components & technical components that were developed through the off-season."

3 drills you'll see regularly in our workouts
Drill 1: fast leg alternating
-- isolate each leg movement
-- full flexion
-- travel backwards on contact
