Everyone loves to talk about “strength” or “power,” but this study makes it pretty clear…the real separation between elite and sub elite sprinters is how they apply force.
Elites don’t just push harder, they push forward.
They orient a higher percentage of their total force
horizontally and maintain it through the entire acceleration phase.
Sub elite athletes might produce similar totals, but they can’t direct it with the same precision/consistency.
If you want to get faster, you have to train the qualities that let you create those shapes and
Sub elite athletes might produce similar totals, but they can’t direct it with the same precision/consistency.
If you want to get faster, you have to train the qualities that let you create those shapes and
hold them when the forces spike. It’s not random drills. It’s not fluff. It’s targeted development of the positions and neuromuscular abilities that actually help you propel yourself forward.

If you want a full breakdown of how to build that, sprint mechanics, force
application, plyos, isometrics, strength, volumes, recoveries, and exactly how to program it, Speed Kills is the most complete resource I’ve made.
If you want something individualized, you can book custom remote programming or a phone consult and I’ll help you build a plan
