Two things can be true…you can work to improve an athlete’s sprint mechanics without trying to copy every element of a track and field model.
That’s something I talk about a lot in my new ebook/program, Speed Kills.
First, we have to separate the quality of speed, how it’s

So we look at the mechanics, but also the why behind them, how they interact with the

athlete’s game, their demands, and their training. If we can make small changes that improve output, that’s the win.
If you want a deeper breakdown of how to build speed, blend mechanics with strength and plyometrics, and actually program it all, that’s what I cover in
