Sprinting is unique.

It shows up in almost every sport.
Acceleration, max velocity, chasing, separating, reacting.

Because of that, a lot of people assume sprinting just “takes care of itself.”

But in training, sprinting is still used as a general stimulus.

And general

stimuli only create specific adaptations when they’re applied deliberately.

Just sprinting in practice doesn’t guarantee you’re:

- Expanding the alactic envelope
- Giving the hamstrings and hip flexors enough high speed exposure
- Training elasticity and stiffness at the
3
velocities that matter
- Improving mechanical efficiency
- Or even accumulating enough quality volume to adapt

If sprinting is done under fatigue, with unknown reps and distances, and no real intent or feedback, it’s not true/effective speed training.

Speed improvements come

from how sprinting is applied, not the fact that it happens.

That’s exactly what Speed Kills is built around.

It breaks down sprinting as:
- A physical quality
- A neurological quality
- And a skill that has to be trained with intent

You’ll see how I structure
5
sprint volumes, how I expose athletes to high velocity safely, how sprinting ties into hamstring health and elasticity, and how all of it fits inside a complete training week without burying athletes in fatigue.

Speed doesn’t improve accidentally.
If you want it to actually

improve, it has to be trained deliberately.

That’s what Speed Kills is for.
