GAME SPEED

WHY MOST ATHLETES ARE A STEP BEHIND

The ability to create and take space is essential in team sports, and training for this requires a focus on GAME SPEED (multi-directional speed), not just linear sprinting.

Most speed coaches emphasize sprinter-style training, but that approach doesn’t work for athletes who need to move quickly in all directions on the field or court. Flashy drills like cone and ladder work may look impressive but won’t turn average acceleration into elite speed.

To truly develop game-speed, team sport athletes need to focus on acceleration, max velocity, deceleration, and multi-directional speed. Mastering these elements is crucial to successfully creating and taking space in team sports.

THE ELEMENTS OF
GAME SPEED

ACCELERATION

The ability to quickly increase speed is crucial for reacting to game scenarios and creating or closing space in team sports. Acceleration is often more important than top-end speed in team sports.

MAX VELOCITY

While less frequent in team sports compared to acceleration, max velocity is critical for situations requiring extended sprints, like chasing a breakaway or recovering defensively.

DECELERATION

The ability to reduce speed quickly and efficiently is vital in team sports. It allows athletes to stop or slow down in preparation for a change in direction. Proper deceleration mechanics not only enhance performance but also reduce the risk of injuries, particularly to the knees and lower body.

CHANGE
OF DIRECTION

This element is essential for navigating dynamic team sport scenarios. It enables athletes to evade defenders, create space, or transition smoothly between offensive and defensive actions. Effective COD enhances game performance and reduces the risk of injuries.

YOUR COMPETITVE ADVANTAGE

RELATIVE FORCE PRODUCTION IN THE GYM

The first key to multi-directional speed and agility is building relative force. Athletes can't move quickly in all directions without first developing power. This strength isn’t developed on the field; it’s built in the gym.

When an athlete can generate more force per kilogram of body weight, it directly leads to improved speed and agility — whether they’re accelerating, decelerating, or changing direction.

ACCELERATION, MAX SPEED, & DECELERATION
TECHNIQUE

There’s no denying that improving running mechanics can help the team-sport athlete; it’s often the lowest hanging fruit and yields the biggest reward.

The athlete who can optimize their quickness in the first few steps will always have an advantage in team sports, just as those who can harness their top-end potential with excellent speed mechanics.

The same goes for agility — athletes who refine their ability to change direction quickly and efficiently will be able to create and take space more effectively, giving them an edge in fast-paced, unpredictable game situations.

ON-FIELD GAME SIMULATION

It’s surprising how often this element is overlooked in speed and agility training. To get faster, you need to sprint and to turn on a dime you need to practice it—plain and simple.

No amount of technique drills or strength training will help unless an athlete is actually sprinting or cutting at high speeds.

Integrating every element at full intensity ensures that strength and mechanics translate into real speed and agility on the field or court.

HOW IT WORKS

Unlike most speed programs that focus on speed in isolation, our speed and agility training is fully integrated into the Athlete Performance Membership .

You'll enhance strength and power, master acceleration and deceleration, and learn effective running and change-of-direction mechanics

This is achieved through a combination of in-gym workouts and on-field training, ensuring all elements come together while minimizing injury risk for team-sport athletes.

If you’ve been searching for "sprint training near me" with little to show for it, we’ve got you covered. The Athlete Performance Membership helps athletes of all levels strengthen weaknesses, reduce injury risk, and unlock their speed potential. Unlike other programs that begin and end on the field, we combine everything an athlete needs to reach their maximum speed.
