How to Improve Speed & Acceleration | When Your 10m Flies Aren't Flying (Part Two)

How to Improve Speed & Acceleration | When Your 10m Flies Aren't Flying (Part One). This presentation focusing on common issues and training that can impact your acceleration and overall speed. I break down some mechanics and drills to help improve these qualities.
Part one:
Too many times, in amateur athletics, an athletes career gets cut short based on the fact that they are simply just not fast enough to play “at the next level”. Whether it is a 40 yd dash, 60 yd dash or a big vertical jump, we aim to get you the times and heights you need to turn heads and get noticed.

Thanks for including the Q&A

[@triblemusic]

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm a new follower. I have been trying to incorporate all of your techniques into my 12 year old son he is a new Running back and needs some coaching in his running. He is fast but we feel like thee is some much room to improve.
I am so overwhelmed but we are taking baby steps.
I have just started with weight lifting for him. 10 lbs to work on form. & no longer than 35 mins.
We have built a routine of 3x a week of sprinting and jumpy drills. Thank you for all of your data & research.
I have a channel if you want to see him running.

Stay on him man! I started training my younger brother when he was in 5th grade. I ran track and I was training myself, so I had some idea of how to train him and how he should be running, but I knew nothing about football. So I bought DVD's and watched CZcams videos, and really started digging and learning things that I was never taught. Then I taught the same things to him (even as I was using them on myself) and he was a monster on the field and on the track. Keep learning, keep researching, testing out the things you learn in 3-4 week blocks and watch how your son takes it to the field. May you and your son prosper and expereince the beauty of what you're teaching him!

I think crawling is amazing for the spine too, as well as doing bird dogs with a dowel ride on your back and holding for 10s before switching sides

Where did you purchase the water bags or if anyone has experience can you please share?

[@richkeithspence]

I bought two about two weeks ago. So far its been great training with them, its challenging for sure. You can do many exercises with it. Get one.

@@richkeithspence where do you get them from

What shoes help you roll onto your big toe?

Hey Coach, I noticed my right side is moe dominant than my left side when I run anything I can do about this

She fell because she was too low/bent. Stumble reflex.

I always find it interesting that we very knowledgeable coaches like Coach Cris, but the great athletes just do and they train to do better, not train to find out. Deon never did these drills. Carl Lewis, never dis these drills. Great athletes after great athletes all just do it without being told?

[@jpg7616]

Training methods evolve over time.
And I’m sure that Deon and Carl did some drills that were not just sprinting. For example, lifting weights is a drill to improve strength and is not running.
People just find other drills to do over time

[@TranelHawkins]

@@jpg7616 Lifting weights is not a drill specifically. You can lift weights as a drill, but moving weights is not a drill. I was an Olympian, and none of my coaches came to me and said to run like "this" to go faster. I was a good athlete who figured it out. More directly, my coaches wrote workouts, had me run them, and planned for great outcomes. Let's take Darrell Green. Look him up if you do not know. He ran 10.06, and he was a football player-just a raw athlete. I coach and know that coaches take too much credit for athletes' success. Being gifted as an athlete is a plus. Many of my friends ran fast with no formal training or skill work. If you want to look deep, find a guy named Houston McTear, who was as fast as hell in high school and raw. No formal training and ran 9.0 in the 100-yard dash in high school. Front-side running was not a big deal in the 70s and 80s. Fast kids run fast. Analyze all you want, but know that fast kids run fast.
