Book Info
Optimal power—the ideal combination of speed and
strength—is the difference between a good athlete and a great athlete. Sports
Power provides all the tools to build sport-specific power and
allow you to attain the highest level of performance.
Every sport has unique power demands. Whether it’s explosive running
and jumping, a quick burst out of the starting block, or contacting and
moving an opponent, developing the right proportion of strength and
speed is crucial to optimizing athletic power. With the revolutionary
speed–strength–power continuum in Sports Power, you can
determine the ideal mix of strength-based and speed-based power
required for your sport.
Four to six week training programs designed for maximum results may be
applied as presented or customized to individual needs using the
seven-step program design process. Training exercises combine
resistance training, plyometrics, speed drills, and cutting-edge power
development techniques.
Train to excel in your sport. Every workout with Sports Power
will put you another step ahead of the competition.
