Great advice coach! Sometimes it's easy to fall in to the stronger=faster trap. It really helps to be reminded that weight training isn't necessarily speed training.
There are definitely movements in the weight room with will make you faster if done correctly! Variations of squats, single leg movements, isometrics, plyometrics incorporated with a proper speed program will elevate speed and athleticism.
There’s NOTHING in the weight room that indicates speed. There’s not a single lift that *only* fast people do well. Strength is absolutely good for sprinters… but, “THE STRONGEST ARE SELDOM THE FASTEST” ~ Boo Schexnayder.
@@coachtonyholler We utilize weights to train the cns to fire rapidly under weight. We never lift like power lifters. While there isn't a lift that indicates speed there are lifts and movements that support and benefit the qualities of a fast sprinter. Example- tendon stiffness- strong feet, ankles, knees, hips translate to force production and force absorption which is something all fast athletes have in common. I agree that speed is king of all but there are ways to elevate the qualities of speed in the weight room if done properly.
I was fast in Jr high school before even touching a weight in the summer class I took between Jr high school and High school. Growth has alot to do with speed improvement in High school. But my qaud / Ham endurance training did help my 400 meter time in college as they were a limiting factor in slowing down in the last 100 meters. Ran 3x 53.5 with 10 recovery in January so I knew I could break 50 at the end of the season and competing against the Swedish Olympic member USIU had on their team who ran a 48. So there R Individual differences and training should be specific to the athlete as some like myself had a weakness that I could fix with specific type of weight training. But obviously I know alot more today about training and nutrition and could have broken 50 in high school. Also 10lbs heaver in college and should have lost 5lbs which would have made a big difference.

It’s also as ignorant to fall into the trap of thinking you don’t need strength to be fast.
How to track "any change of direction stuff" ?
@@nashorn7538 ???
Tony how can i do cns training for acceleration please tell me im details
Train acceleration every time you train max speed. As an added benefit, max speed will improve your CNS, which improves acceleration.
@@coachtonyholler and 5-15 min break in between sets of max short sprint training right?
@@keithbrownjr857 ~5 min recovery between sprints of ~5 sec
Feed them cats baby!
Not all strong athletes are fast but all fast athletes are strong

What squat variation improves top end speed?
