To me, a big part of being quick is the ability to connect your mind to your body... know what you want to do, and immediately perform it at a very high level. To train this, I like to hit drills where our athletes have to perform skilled movements as fast as they can. Here we have some crossover plate step ups, banded high knee pistons, varying surface single leg jumps, and speed hurdles. All of these exercises require high levels of mind and muscle work. Train your mind and body to work quickly, and you'll find your quickness improves all around.

Sets and reps?

When it comes to training for track, obviously each event requires it's own special training. But as with all of our other sports, we always make sure to get in our strength and power training. Especially for Caleb, we incorporate a lot of plyometrics to help him with his events, hence all the different types of jumps. Here are some of the exercises we've been using lately with him. We also do a lot of other ones not pictured, like Nordics, foam roller hip bridges, lunges, split jerks, foot/ankle strength, core work, etc. This is just a glimpse.

May I suggest adding chapters to the video? It makes following along much easier. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

This is a fun session we do with our athletes. It's a change of direction speed day, so we hit some linear change of direction into some straight speed. We're still focusing on our transitions at every stage, so paying extra attention to being able to go from a backpedal to sprint and a sprint in one direction to another. I'm a firm believer that the athlete with the best transitions give themselves an edge, so hit the transitions cleanly, and then we can explode out.

1 set?

Recovery is super important for athletes, and I am a huge fan of opting for active recovery. Different scenarios present themselves, and some days, we need to give our athletes more recovery type of training so they can get ready to go hard again soon. If we tax them too hard without proper recovery, then we're only limiting the overall boost in performance. That being said, here are 3 exercises I like to use with our athletes for some recovery training. Hope these help!

So good!! Thank you for sharing. Great stuff

I think I would do a number of exercises faster than a central back .😊

I really like the drills you do for your students! It inspires me and I incorporate some of these into my workout too! It’s very helpful, I am a dancer and need training like this

THANK YOU

🎉 cool videos. 😮

To most people, these drills don't look like much. They probably think they're pretty dang easy. But they couldn't be more wrong. Having the stability, body control, and strength to hit these exercises is a skill we spend lots of time developing. To us, these are two of the foundations for athleticism - body control and body awareness. Within these two areas, we can hone in on stability, strength, and power, but when we look at the most athletic people, they have a base of ridiculous body control. Give these a shot!

Great as always love you thanks

Hi, What position does the girl in the red T-shirt play in?

Check out some clips from our side on sprint day. I love hitting this session with our athletes! It's extremely beneficial for pretty much all athletes, as it teaches the ability to simultaneously turn and accelerate. Sports are a matter of seconds and inches, so if we can efficiently use rotation for power development, then we'll be able to get out into our sprint at a much better and faster rate.

🆒

nice!

Great video. Amazing young athlete.

Every single athlete needs to incorporate jumping into their sports performance program. For this session, the goal is to utilize energy from our current movement to propel us in our upcoming movement. We have the fantastic ability to utilize stored energy to create more fluid and effortless movements, we just need to utilize this energy before it dissipates. The best way to improve this ability... plyometrics!

A huge mistake we see is that many soccer players neglect training their upper body. We have to make sure that we're including upper strength into their training program to become all around stronger and more powerful. We love the OGs of upper body strength, especially pull up and push up variations, while also getting in plenty of landmine work and other exercises to challenge our athletes.

Explosive fast twitch development 👍

I love the landmines exercises.

Athletes need to be able to express force at rapid speeds, so we need to make sure we're training them to excel in this ability. Building foundational strength is very important since it improves our potential for force production, but we need to also train moving load fast. Here are some exercises we love to use with our athletes to train speed strength. We love some trap bar, landmine, and barbell work to improve our fast force production.

Awesome work..great job

Make sure you're including rotational plyos into your training program. These require so much body control and stabilization to be able to rotate as we jump and when we land. Rotation is a key aspect to athleticism and sporting performance, and it is an element that we can develop to aid in our ability to produce force. Here is a progression we use with our athletes when introducing our rotational plyos. Hope this helps!

just came from watching your video on overhead pressing. i am a professional dancer and most of my workout is horizontal push pull with only half kneeling pull down being my vertical work. for my shoulders i normally do trx Ws, Ys, and lateral Raises as well. i have been thinking about pressing and when i used to press before i used to do a half kneeling dumbbell neutral grip overhead Press and i am thinking about adding it back to my program as i feel like as much as i care and train my shoulders more "directly" i think having a press is good for just overall strength. though i only have dumbbells available to me.

Great work! 🔥🔥

Yesss love all your content it has helped me so much Would love some more baseball/softball videos

Today was simple in terms of the goal: how quickly can you react to get to the ball, and how fast can you move load. We need to make sure our baseball players have a solid strength foundation, and one that they can use to produce force fast. We have to be building some highly explosive athletes that can react to the ball with immense athleticism. So make sure to include that velocity training and reaction training in your programs!

Good stuff as always with you.

💪love the landmine work

Thanks❤

1/2 Kneeling starts are great to train massive force production with athletes. There is no countermovement, so in order to explode out, they need to produce all the force to move. There are many exercises we can do with a 1/2 kneeling start, but some of them that we love are sprints, jumps, and med ball exercises. It's all about being able to create loads of force as fast as we can, and this is a great tool to utilize.

thank you so much, really informative and to the point, hope to see more videos on strength and conditioning from you

Frontal plane training is critical for athletes, especially soccer players. Here are some exercises we love to use with our athletes. We hit frontal plane with some isos, with different loading demands, and with different speeds. We need to train strength, stability, and control during frontal plane movements to excel in our athleticism and to reduce injury risks. One of my favorites is the band accelerated lateral lunge, where the band accelerates the lunge movement. It's important to be strong and stable during rapid loading, and this is a great frontal plane exercise to train this.

What sport does he do?

we do not care

A big part of athleticism is coordination. We make sure to train this a lot with our athletes in various ways, but when we hit coordination with plyos, it's easily one of my favorite sessions. I tell our athletes that being in control of your body is the most important thing. We have to connect mind and muscles to perform these highly coordinated tasks. Also, big shoutout to Caleb. This kid is an absolute athletic stud who also happens to be one of the hardest workers I know. Deserves everything he earns!

Thank you verymuch. 👍🌠🏃🌠🌹♥️♥️♥️🌷🌠💫🌌😘

Awesome! Great routine, def can’t wait to implement a few of these in my training

great video, thank you. I'll be using these for a client. Good to see a woman dressed respectfully on social media.

I love your way you train! Very specific and targeted exercises 🔝🔝🔝🙌

Wonderful 👍 series and exercises

It's very important to build strength and stability for soccer players. They both balance each other out and develop a very well rounded athlete. We do a lot of unilateral training with our soccer players, such as in these videos, and exercises that challenge their ability to use their strength to stabilize themselves in different positions with varying demands. For the leg extension iso, we always make sure to keep a slight bend in the knee to maintain joint health!

Hi how many ripetions for each exercise and how many series for an agonistic thirteen years old? Thanks

Back in my day we'd just jump off the roof of our 1 story house and try sprinting as fast as possible after impact

Measuring ground contact time is a great way to improve an athlete's quickness and explosion. We want to be able to produce high amounts of force as fast as possible, so we want the jumps to be high and the ground contact time to be fast. Many athletes get stuck on the ground for too long during explosive movements, allowing usable energy to dissipate. We need strength during the transitional phase so we can utilize loading forces to propel our take off. There's a natural balance between jump height and ground contact time, but through training, we can always improve!

Another powerful one ❤
