Speed and Agility
Each phase of the process is part of a larger, well-thought-out, meticulously-executed game plan.

Our speed and agility training program is designed to unlock an athlete’s maximum acceleration speed and strength so they can achieve their highest level of performance in the sport of their choice. Our speed drills are designed to improve stride rate, stride length, starting ability, and sprinting technique. The agility portion of our training program is a surefire way to effectively and efficiently increase an athlete’s coordination, balance and overall athletic ability.
Most people are used to moving in one direction — forward — but learning how to move laterally and react quickly to unexpected stimuli is beneficial for everyone. Our coaches believe that not only athletes can benefit from our speed and agility training, it should also be a staple in everyone's workout routine to improve balance and coordination as we age. If you train to improve your ability to move in multiple directions, your body will automatically include more muscles to respond quickly to something that may unexpectedly get in the way as we move throughout the day. This helps us avoid injury, or decrease the severity of an injury.
Speed:
1.The rate at which someone or something is able to move or operate
2. The rate at which an object moves; the distance that an object travels with respect to time.
ability to change direction rapidly while maintaining balance without losing speed
ability to think and draw conclusions quickly; intellectual acuity
ability to change the body's position quickly and requires the integration of isolated movement skills using a combination of balance, coordination, speed, reflexes, strength, and endurance
A·gil·i·ty:
most sports benefit from speed and agility training. Whether it is quick side-to-side movements or pure maximum speed, an improvement in your speed abilities can significantly improve your athletic performance.
endurance
A combination of two different factors; cardiovascular endurance and muscular endurance. It’s the ability to maintain physical activity for an extended amount of time combining both the efficiency of each muscle contraction with your cardiorespiratory system’s ability to move oxygen-rich blood from your lungs to your muscle tissue.
speed
Speed is a combination of four components:
Reaction time: how fast your sensory system can perceive, process, and respond to an external stimulus.
Acceleration: the rate of which you can increase your velocity.
Maximum speed: the highest velocity you can attain in a specific activity.
Speed endurance: the body’s ability to sustain near maximum velocity for an extended amount of time.
Balance
The ability to maintain equilibrium when stationary or moving (i.e. not to fall over) through the coordinated actions of our sensory functions (eyes, ears and the proprioceptive organs in our joints)
coordination
The ability to control the movement of the body in co-operation with the body's sensory functions (e.g., hand and eye coordination).
strength
The ability of a muscle or muscle group to overcome a resistance
