The Coach
The purpose of AOS is to create faster, more coordinated athletes. Speed is the determining factor in being successful in any sport. Moreover, regardless of skill level, if an athlete is FAST, they are more likely to be noticed and given an opportunity. Just as a college degree provides individuals with an advantage when it comes to employment, being fast can give an athlete an edge and help them get their foot in the door in sport. It is no longer sufficient for an athlete to be able to throw, catch, hit the ball, etc. When coaches are assessing athletes, some coaches’ key questions are: “Can they out-run their pursuers?” “Can they run down their opponents?” “Can they steal base without being thrown out?” To put it simply, coaches ask, “Are they fast?”
