There is no progression or development without mastering the fundamentals. One can simply be fast but without the proper mechanics and techniques, you’ll reach your ceiling much faster than you’d think. You won't become better, you won't become faster. Having the proper fundamental stones allows you to be in place to progress. 

Resistance training is one of the best exercises a coach can incorporate into training to enhance the speed and explosiveness of athletes. It creates muscle tissue, improves bone health, increases strength, and decreases the risk of injury. 

In this course, Coach Ernie Clark discusses the development and teachings he does with acceleration and block starts. He breaks down step by step how to improve your game by mastering the fundamentals. Everything you need to from technique to speed is right here.

“Velocity Based Training the Madison Academy Way”

The use of video analysis enables athletes and coaches to take a critical look at their performance in order to avoid and prevent injury and improve performance. A player's performance can be captured on tape, and coaches often see details and techniques that most tend to overlook. An analysis of video motion gives us information about moving objects. Sports replays, acceleration and speed calculations, as well as task performance analysis in team and individual sports, can be used to achieve this.

In this course, Professor of Kinesiology at West Chester University, Dr. Ken Clark, shares his knowledge about athletic performance and shows us ways to calculate data to reach max velocity. Everything you need from behind the scenes to improve your speed.

Speed and power can be a dangerous combination if done correctly. Without power, you can't have speed. To build strength and speed, sprinting is done year-round with variations of exercises. Power requires training with explosiveness. In plyometrics, In addition to the bounding, hopping, and jumping exercises commonly used in plyometric training, medicine ball work or boxing moves may also be included. Plyometric training has many benefits. It enhances athletic performance by improving the ability to jump, velocity, agility, and running. 

In this course, Coach Graeme Morris talks about the four principles of developing speed and power as well as how to prevent hamstring injuries through the combination of gym and field. He breaks down the importance of intertwining both to get results.

What is wearable resistance training? Strength training that utilizes wearable resistance involves affixing a load to your body. By moving small masses at high speeds, it takes advantage of the concept of micro loading. Some examples of resistance training come in form of free weights, medicine balls, weight machines, resistance bands, or simply your body weight. 

Traditional strength training consists of large masses with very little movement involved which promotes strength and force. Whereas, wearable resistance consists of small amounts of weight on your body while greater movement speeds and accelerations. Which ultimately results in force and acceleration…SPEED. 

In this course, Auckland University Sports & Exercise Professor in New Zealand, John Cronin, uses his research to share his expertise in human movement with us by breaking down why wearable resistance works and the mechanics behind it. John explains the many variables that benefit from using wearable resistance and more.

It's difficult to notice and address certain errors or mistakes that take place in training, if you do it's crucial to make note of it and take action. Most training takes place in the team setting so it's understandable to overlook certain aspects. 

Most have the misconception that speed is conditioning but there's quite the difference. In order for athletes to reach maximum velocity, they need their bodies to be ready to fatigue. That's because developing speed is highly demanding on the nervous system. Lifting in the team setting is actually setting you back if you want to reach max speed, in order to do so the athlete needs optimal rest and recovery.

In this course, TCU Senior Assistant Director of Strength and Conditioning, Zach Dechant, stresses the organization of training and the main components that are crucial. Zach shares his knowledge to help us change the way we are used to thinking team sports athletes need to train

The modern athlete is bigger, faster, and stronger than ever. Their sprints, jumps, lateral movements, and cuts will become greater. However, you can't do one with the other. Acceleration needs deceleration. An athlete with sudden or abrupt deceleration improves their odds of a serious injury. 

The best way to prepare athletes for acceleration is through deceleration training. ... In order to help athletes slow down from fast positions and reduce injury risks, athletes should practice deceleration drills that involve lowering their center of gravity, cutting, and maintaining an athletic stance. 

In this course, Sports Scientist and Ph.D."Deceleration Performance" consultant, Damian Harper, shows viewers the important aspects of Deceleration. He breaks down Deceleration into 4 parts; Deceleration ability, demands of deceleration, qualities needed to decelerate, and how we can develop deceleration abilities.

While some coaches and runners use the term "speed work" to describe a run that is faster than your average speed, speed work is actually a training workout in which you run for certain times at, near, or even faster than your usual max pace. The goal of speed training is to improve your speed and explosive abilities as used in many fitness disciplines to increase speed and athletic ability.

In this course, Coaches Ryan Grubbs and Jonas Dodoo discuss kinematics and technical profiling as well as how to specialize training depending on one's physical ability. They break down (FVP) Force Velocity Profile and how it benefits your training.

Sprint mechanics are essentially the fundamentals to running with good form, being able to run with endurance, and avoiding injury. A majority of injuries occur to the hamstring when running. The majority of reasons are poor mechanics. Sprints are typically broken down into three key mechanics, acceleration, top velocity, and deceleration. Having great foundations will allow you to accomplish the three.

In this course, Sport Sciences and Physical Education Professor at Auckland University, JB Morin, breaks down the mechanics of speed and speed-related hamstring injuries down to more simple components for others to understand. He explains the individual profiles with examples, provides methods to find out how, and shows us to handle hamstring injury management

Winter Program with Tony Holler

In this course, Coach and creator of Feed the Cats Tony Holler discuss his Winter Program. He gives a detailed recipe on how to implement such a program. Everything from getting your staff on board, to getting your schedule down and ready to setting and achieving the goals you had ahead of the program. Everything you need to stay in tip-top shape during the winter is here. 

Tony gives us a look at the exact program. Starting with the four days in, three days out. The optimal workout is the core of the exercises while the x-factors take you to the next level. Factors such as Plyometrics, leg swings, hurdles for hip mobility, cat jumps, lunges, and much more. The grind is the real joy of it all. “Don't let today ruin tomorrow”.

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.
