Principles of Speed
By Adam Johnson, Velocity SP (5/7/08)
When an athlete comes to Velocity Sports Performance to train we initially ask them for three goals they wish to accomplish. It is almost guaranteed that one of those goals will be to run faster. That can mean increasing their first step quickness so they can explode off the line or increasing their speed endurance so they are a scoring threat down the field.
It was once thought that you were either born fast or slow. At Velocity Sports Performance we know that speed is a skill and like any skill it can be taught. However, it takes a highly trained coach, a proven curriculum and the right equipment to make gains in an athlete’s speed.
