Trials today and my coach made one cut only this time and took 6 players and told me personally I was 8th. I used to never be up there and I wouldn’t even be in the top 2 but I can definitely see improvement and I can 100% credit you with this. Thank you 🙏

I have been coaching for 6 years and you are the very first YouTube/internet trainer who has ever been this directionally specific. I am EXTREMELY thankful... so helpful!!

[abhishektodmal]

Have started implementing more of the stuff you put on here Michael. Can't tell you how grateful I am to have a channel like yours to guide me. Bless you mate 💪

How to improve speed
Find a dog
Disturb the dog
Run
You'll need to do this daily.
Next tip find cops
Take a stone
Throw at the car window
Run
You'll need to do this daily.
Soon you'll observe you have beaten bolt.
If your trying to run fast during a soccer game
Irritate the most aggressive and angry player of the opposing team.
Imagine he is a dog
Run away from him

The last two drills are the same, just a slightly different distance between the cones. The turns are 90 degrees each time.

Love your content! Keep it up!

Been waiting for this one!! My agility is a weak point at the moment

[chicoperez]

I’ve been doing these drill for about 9 months now. I’m fortunate to say I was scouted by La Masía with a $100m contract. Thanks bro

Love these drills!! The crosshair is my personal favorite

[aubreyjane]

Thank you so much! This video is great. I've become bored of many of my speed drills and most videos are just the same old thing. I play tennis and changing direction is hugely important. These are definitely gonna spice up my training!
