π Acceleration Day π
Here's an inside look at our Acceleration Day training at WSP.
1) Jumping Split Squat Switches: Get the fast transition from step 1 through 4
2) Push-up Start: Getting the right placement for the first couple of steps. Don't want them to be too big as it will have the athlete standing up fast. Need to push the ground back for the first couple of steps.
3) Sled Push: Adding some resistance in the angle we are looking for. Low push for couple steps, then inside lean for steps 3 and 4.
4) 1 FT Start: getting the good lean forward and making sure to have the first step land behind the hip (negative step) to push the ground down and away.
5) Test: We test the 20yd Dash weekly. The main reason to let the athletes know how they are improving, and also it allows the coaches to see the first 10 and back 10 numbers to see how they can improve.
If you're looking for a program to get your athlete faster. Give WSP a try. We have a Free Athlete Assessment where we will let you know how your athlete stacks up against others their age.
DM or comment "Assessment" to get yours locked in.
