Speed for Sport

Just about every coach's dream player possesses a strong combination of speed and agility no matter the sport, because those two elements can make or break a team. Some athletes are naturals, but what about those who aren't, or have a lot of one and not the other? In Speed for Sport, strength and speed coach Tracy Morgan provides coaches and players with linear, lateral, and speed development drills to help athletes improve their skills, and make the most out of practice time. Each of the drills is demonstrated with athletes on the field, with a variety of body types and skill levels (including an overweight younger athlete, a beginning athlete, and a more advanced athlete), enabling viewers to gauge what performance levels to expect from different types of players. Morgan also covers common errors made by novice coaches. Offering solid supplemental instruction for both coaches and players at all levels in a variety of sports, this is recommended.
