Sports Speed

This is an excellent book for backs who need more speed, like me. There are many, many ways to improve speed. All of which are helpful. Any athlete needs to read this book, it will take them to the next level of performance.

I'm a defensive back (6'2, 205) who has been trying to take it to the next level and find a team. I don't have the luxury of trainers and fancy equipment. All I have is all I get. This book helps me get more than I know I have. I never knew why all that stuff was important until I read this book. Now when I work out, I know what's happening to me and what I need to do in order to make it happen more. They even get down to the mental aspect of training as well as breathing techniques. The exercises they illustrate are definitely speed and agility powerhouses! Believe me I know!This book proves that sprinting isn't just running, but a complex science and it has "Dumbed It Down" for all who read. They say that sprinters are born not made, well this book proves that sprinters are born on the track as well and not just in the womb. The scouts are going to love me come May 13th in Atlanta. Thanks for the insights fellas!!

This book tells you many ways to improve your speed....What plyometrics you should do.....and soooo many ways to imrove yourself..ways which YOU wouldn't have thought of!

If anyone wants to see results in sports, they will have to work at it very hard. this book helps you with this. It breaks up the act of moving as fast as possible from a to b into segments and then tells you how to improve these segments. The book gives you advice and encouragement like only Americans can convince you to be as great as you can possibly be. The book is written for multiple sports and gives examples for several sports. As a sprinter, after using the book for a few weeks, I was running as fast in training as I had only done in competition . great book.

The training advice to improve sprinting speed, until this book, was to sprint a lot and hope that you have it in your genes. "Sports Speed" is the first book to develop a systematic method for developing sprinting speed. The techniques are used by professional and college teams nation-wide. If you have ever been frustrated by working your *** off and not seeing results in your running speed, this book will be a refreshing source of knowledge. It includes several example 3 month programs that can be used to create your own program. Be prewarned that to get any results from this book takes patience and dedication, but you WILL see results. A must book for all those serious about improving in football, basketball, baseball--any sport in which agility and speed are important.
