Chris Korfist: Why the Weightroom Isn’t Working for Your Speed Development

by Track Football Consortium TFC

Description

All movement is exercise, however not all movement contributes to you reaching your goal. The weight room is beneficial to anyone utilizing it but if you don't have a clear goal or specific route of obtaining your goal, then you're not maximizing the most out of the weight room. What is your one specific goal? 

Speed requires targeted exercises that’ll enhance your performance. Core and legs are the biggest focus points. Positioning is crucial as well as having the correct form, avoiding swinging as it can promote injury and poor foundation. Enabling torso stabilization and balance is great for any athlete's core. It's important to often change stances and grips. Use the weight room to overload what you can't in movement. 

In this course, Coach Chris Korfist discusses why athletes who spend time in the weight room don’t see improvement in their speed. He goes into depth about setting specific goals focused on your speed development. As well as the positives and negatives of the weight room and how to maximize it to your advantage.
