How To Improve Sprintining Speed (Acceleration) In Athletes

How you can improve your first 10 meters of the sprint

Hey Everyone,


Are you looking to improve your speed in the first 10 meters/yards for you or your athletes?


Then you are going to want to read this quick email below.


Acceleration dominates team sports.


Every successful athlete I have ever worked with has had high-level acceleration ability.


When measuring acceleration, there are 2 big metrics I am looking at:


Peak Force - first step


Peak Power - maximal power produced in the first few steps


Most people get it wrong regarding acceleration, especially the first step.


They either don't sprint at all (a big mistake) or they sprint with too little load.


If you want to improve your acceleration, you are going to need a multi-faceted approach to training sprints, jumps, & lifts appropriately.


How can we improve our acceleration with a holistic plan?


1) Sprint with heavy loads

2) Jump with heavy loads

3) Lift heavy loads


This approach will help the athlete develop force & be able to project the body faster in acceleration.


Look


You can spend hours doing research & experimenting trying to figure out how you can improve your acceleration.


OR


You can sign up for the first video in my Sports Performance Series:


The Acceleration Workshop


When you sign up you will get a presentation on how you can train acceleration to improve speed in you or your athletes covering the topics of:



And much more.


PLUS


A live Zoom call Q&A session to answer any questions about acceleration training you may have.


The Acceleration Workshop will be $50 for the first 10 people that sign up, then it goes up to $100.


So make sure to sign up first before the price goes up


You will be sent the workshop WITH the link for zoom Q&A next Saturday, September 21st, when you sign up.


I look forward to seeing you all there.


Keith
