Doesn’t matter the sport, everyone wants to be fast. Unfortunately, not everyone is, but everyone can surely get faster. This comes down to a few key principles, and it’s not just about running a faster 30, 40 or 60 yard dash. Getting fast is first and foremost about getting strong. The more horsepower an athlete has, the more force he is able to put into the ground to get his body moving quickly. We can teach running mechanics all we want but if there is limited power being put into the ground on each stride it’s pointless.

Baseball is an explosive sport and it’s all about moving linearly (front-to-back) and laterally (side-to-side) and the ability to start / stop quickly can be a deal breaker. This Speed and Agility Package addresses this by focusing on proper landing mechanics and deceleration, linear and lateral acceleration and first step quickness.  Thus, training first-step quickness and change-of-direction speed as well as improving mobility, strength and deceleration mechanics are the focal points of this speed development program.  The following is an outline of the programming:

  • Warm-up Routine
  • Jumping and Landing – General Power Output
  • Linear Change-of-Direction – Fielding / Run Downs / Running to 1st
  • Linear Acceleration – First Step Quickness
  • 5-yard Directional Step – Base Stealing
  • Lateral Change-of-Direction  – Fielding / Stealing / Run Downs
  • Retreating – Outfield

Speed and Agility Program

Baseball is an explosive sport and it's all about moving linearly (front-to-back) and laterally (side-to-side) and the ability to start / stop quickly can be a deal breaker. This Speed, Agility and Quickness program addresses this by focusing on proper landing mechanics and deceleration, linear and lateral acceleration and first step quickness.

High Density Foam Roller

Foam rolling is an effective, inexpensive, and convenient way to reduce soft tissue adhesions and scar tissue accumulation, while getting many of the benefits of stretching w/o causing unwanted “lengthening”. Also known as “self-myofascial release”, it helps simulate the muscle spindles causing the muscle itself to relax.

Massage Balls

Massage Balls are used a form of self-myofascial release that can be as powerful as any massage device to help relieve adhesions in the fascia, relieving pain and improving function in sore muscles. They can help improve muscle performance, increase joint range of motion and decrease muscle fatigue and soreness.

Speed and Agility Cones (6 pcs)

Speed and Agility Cones are great for on-field or in-gym use when training for speed and agility. They come in sets of 6 in a highly visible bright orange color, designed for use on any surface, whether it be grass, concrete, gym floors, cement or artificial turf. They are essential for speed agility and quickness (SAQ) training.

Training Hurdles (12")

Hurdles are a vital tool for training speed-strength in late off-season and as part of a speed-agility program and maintenance during the season. They can also be used for training landing mechanics, force production and deceleration. After attaining a good base of strength, hurdles can also be used to improve explosiveness.

Agility Ladder (15 ft)

The Agility Ladder (15 ft), used properly, is great tool to help improve quickness by training accelerated foot strike and ground reaction forces. It's also great for low-level fast plyometrics, first step acceleration and landing mechanics.  It can also help to improve speed when used with an appropriate strength program.

Mini Ankle Band

Mini Ankle Bands are great for use at home, in the gym or on the field. They are most often used in performance training to activate the glutes prior to performing bigger lifts or when strength training younger less experienced athletes. Also great for to strengthening the posterior chain while rehabbing a hamstring or knee.

Coach's Stopwatch

Stopwatches are used for training and calculating speed as well as tracking progress in drills where hundredths of a second matter. Great for use when looking for pinpoint accuracy that is otherwise not possible with a larger, cumbersome cell phone.  Small size allows it to be held while performing drills without a coach.
