If you’re struggling with protection, try these starts/set ups.

✅ Drive intent

Resisted sprints are my top choice. Add load and projection becomes non-negotiable.
Half-kneeling and iso starts remove momentum and force you to earn your first step.
Accel ladder gives you a visual constraint. Let the environment shape the outcome.

Want the full speed blueprint? My most comprehensive sprint program ever drops this week.
Mechanics, plyometrics, strength training for speed, programming, resisted sprints, and more. 80 pages + an 8 week program.

Once that drops, all current sales of older programs will end and some products are being removed from the site (Straight Speed, PlayStrong 1, Speed Demon 1).
