SPEED IS NOT OPTIONAL
Why Every Athlete—Regardless of Sport—Needs Speedwork
It is a common misconception that speed is only for Track & Field. At Run Speed Performance, we know that in sports like soccer, football, baseball, and lacrosse, being half a step faster is the difference between a game-winning play and a missed opportunity in Carrollton, TX.
“If two athletes have the same skill level, the faster athlete wins. Period.”
3 Key Training Techniques
We break mastery down into three distinct pillars: Speed Workouts, Form & Technique, and Strength Building.
⚡ THE ELITE COACHING REGIMENT
DAILY: THE FOUNDATION
- A-Skips: Focus on core and vertical foot strike.
- B-Skips: Master the sweep and ground reaction.
- Dynamic Mobility: Keep the body ready for explosive output.
WEEKLY: PEAK POWER
- Flying 60s: Build top-end turnover speed.
- Hill Runs: Maximize the Power & Drive phase.
- Box Jumps: Develop raw explosiveness.
- Speed Endurance: 6-8 x 300m intervals.
THE IRON ROOM
Speed is built in the weight room. Focus on these movements to increase ground force production:
- Squats & Power Cleans
- Hamstring Curls
- DB Push Press
FORM ANALYSIS
Poor technique limits speed and causes injury. We recommend recording every athlete to analyze their biomechanics visually.
