Who it is for

- Families who can train 2 or 3 days a week: 3 days takes 12 weeks, 2 days about 18.
More than more sprints
Speed work without a plan is usually just more sprints. This program puts the training in order: movement and body control first, then acceleration and the first step, then slowing down and changing direction, then reacting at game speed.
What the player trains
- Train first-step quickness and acceleration
- Slow down and change direction under control
- Move laterally with better body control
- React to game cues at game speed
- Carry the work onto the bases and on defense
- Follow a 12-week plan built around the goals you choose
