lightning quickness and blistering speed! Getting one step ahead
of your opponents can make the difference between winning and losing.
Speed
Lateral Speed
Forward speed has always been emphasized,
while lateral speed is often overlooked. Lateral Speed is what can
get you open, get your defender to miss, and allow you to play better defense.
Overspeed
Training
Overspeed training is a plyometric
exercise, in that it forces fast eccentric contractions followed by concentric
contractions. In this case the eccentric and concentric contractions are
in the hamstrings and quadraceps. The goal of overspeed training is to
force the athlete to increase the length and speed of their stride, while
maintaining proper form.
