ACCELERATION
So many of the best players in sport rely on their acceleration. If you can go from 0 to 100 faster than the rest, you're at a serious advantage. There's no room for error when you need to get to the ball first, get across the court in time, or to put pressure on the competition on the track.
TOP SPEED
Increasing your max velocity makes your life easier as a competing athlete. Use less energy to keep pace, make critical moves in decisive moments, catch your competitors with a head start. Everyone can get faster. That includes you.
BRAKING STRENGTH
Athletes should not ‘pump’ the brakes when slowing down. There is an art to decelerating that is unknown to most athletes and coaches. Starting, stopping, turning, lunging properly differentiates the good player from the great. Reduce injury risks by mastering braking strength.
