About Sports
Speed...
Sports Speed, the second edition of the
successful Sportspeed, is the perfect training guide
to help athletes of all ages and levels maximize their speed and quickness.
Using the latest research, the authors have updated and expanded their
trendsetting seven-step model that builds all key components in developing
speed for sports--strength, power, technique, and endurance.
Sports Speed covers all aspects of developing speed, including specific
movements and skills for seven specific sports. The book shows how to create
individual or sports-specific speed training programs for age-group athletes
at all levels—from high schoolers to Olympians and pros.
Starting with skills assessment, athletes can evaluate themselves and zero
in on specific areas needing improvement. This guide also explains how to
save training time and improve performance while reducing injuries. Other
highlights include:
• 85 photos showing proper exercise technique;
• 92 drills for speed and quickness training;
• sample training programs for basketball, football,
baseball/softball, soccer, hockey, tennis, and track; and
• guidelines for creating a personalized speed program
based on individual strengths and weaknesses.
World-class speed improvement expert George Dintiman and former Dallas Cowboys
conditioning coach Bob Ward bring more than 50 years of speed training experience
together with the expertise of world-renowned Olympic and University of Houston
track coach Tom Tellez to provide the most comprehensive resource available
on speed improvement for sports. Barry Sears, author of the New York Times
best-seller The Zone, adds a chapter on nutrition for speed development.
Use Sports Speed to create individual or sports-specific speed training
for football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, tennis,
rugby, track and field, hockey, and many more sports.
Let the experts show you how the principles of speed improvement can apply
to any sport.
