Speed and Agility in Sport

Speed and agility are key components for any athlete who wants to perform at their best in their sport. As a strength and conditioning coach, I know that athletes need to be able to accelerate, decelerate, and change direction quickly and efficiently, while being multi-directional. Here are 3 reasons why speed and agility training is so important:

🔺Improves reaction time: Speed and agility training helps athletes to respond quickly to their opponent’s movements and make split-second decisions on the field or court.

🔺Reduces injury risk: Athletes who are faster and more agile are less likely to get injured because they can better control their movements and avoid collisions with other players.

🔺Enhances overall performance: Speed and agility training can improve an athlete’s overall performance by increasing their power output, endurance, and explosiveness.
