A Day at Speed Camp
During the summer, we have the priviledge of working with athletes at our speed development camps. The camps are designed to help athletes during their summer training improve basic skills that will allow them to maximize linear, as well as, multi-directional speed.
I have received dozens of emails from coaches and athletes from around the country wanting to find out how we breakdown our camp schedule and drills. So here goes an example of one of our modified linear (offensive) speed workouts.
Warm-up - Linear
