Speed development isn’t just about telling young athletes to sprint faster.

Sprinting is extremely important, but youth athletes also need to learn the mechanics behind running fast. Proper posture, knee drive, foot placement, rhythm, coordination, and force into the ground all play a role.

These are 5 drills we use at TipTop Training to reinforce those qualities:

1️⃣ Lunge Switches
2️⃣ Leg Exchanges
3️⃣ High Knees
4️⃣ Bounce Switches
5️⃣ Single-Leg Knee Drives

The goal is to teach good movement first, then add speed. When athletes understand how to move efficiently, their sprint work becomes that much more valuable.

At TipTop, we’re building faster, stronger, and more confident athletes from the ground up. 💨💪

5 MED BALL DRILLS TO IMPROVE ACCELERATION

A heavy med ball probably isn’t the first tool that comes to mind when you think about speed and acceleration .. but when used the right way, it can be a great tool for developing a more powerful first step.

For athletes, that first step is HUGE. Being able to produce force quickly, control your body, and explode into your next movement can be the difference between getting there first or being a step behind.

Here are 5 med ball drills we use to work on it:

1️⃣ Lateral Roll + Sprint
2️⃣ Reverse OH Throw + Sprint
3️⃣ SL Snap Down + Sprint
4️⃣ Push + Sprint
5️⃣ Lateral Shuffle + Punch

The goal isn’t just moving a heavy ball, it’s learning to create force and immediately transfer it into explosive movement.

⚡ Train your first step. Build acceleration. Move with purpose.
