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.

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.

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.

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, power, and explosiveness are vital components to a successful team. As a coach, you must make sure your team's inner being and core values are in check. It's important to attract great athletes to your program. Create a happy and healthy team atmosphere first. It's a must to teach players to build their own houses. “This is not just a speed development program, it is a program philosophy!”.

Creating a successful speed-based team is no simple task. There are many obstacles that will be in your way, however, with the help of Coach Garrett Mueller you’ll have everything you need.

The 7 fundamental patterns set the stage for multi-directional speed. Having great fundamentals will give you the path necessary to be more versatile in what you do. Lateral shuffles being one of the seven fundamental patterns is a great exercise to challenge your core as you strengthen your hip abductors, quads, calves, hamstrings, and glutes. The seven fundamental patterns include linear acceleration, sprinting, lateral shuffle, lateral run, backpedal, hip turn, and jump. 

An athlete's most important skill is the ability to read their environment as well as discover and solve problems that arise. Having mastered the seven patterns can certainly help you by providing the tools necessary to make the proper adjustments to your environment and the problems that come your way. 

In this course, coach Lee Tart from Lee Taft Athletic Consulting breaks down the fundamentals of multi-directional concepts of speed, lateral movement, skill acquisitions, and the "7 patterns." Everything you need to develop the ability to move properly in several sports is right here.

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.

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.
