I recently paid for I think 16 or 18 short discourses on increasing speed. More than half advertised increase your speed in 30 days. Who came up with 30 days as the parameter for developing significant increases in speed, apparently for any athlete?
To the consumer, potentially an uninformed athlete, possibly a coach or trainer with limited experience, it is seductive as well as possibly false advertising. Who regularly has access to an athlete or athletes for 30 consecutive days to train exclusively for speed? If you do know how, I am open to the possibility, if it exists.
Unless it is organization like Michael Gough’s Pro-Combine Training, or similar training centers I am familiar with in Florida and Arizona, where athletes have dropped out of school, then work for a couple months, maybe more, to improve their training measurements for the Pro-Combine, or prepare for an upcoming professional season, I am not familiar with the opportunity of an athlete to exclusively speed train for 30 consecutive days.
Yes, there can be decreases in 10, 20 and 40 yd or agility drill times by simply changing the starting mechanics of an athlete and a few practice training sessions. Does that equate to significant increases of speed on the field or court, playing the game? If that is does, let me know how that works.
There are no comments made so far.
