Your squat went up but your sprint time didn’t go down.

Why is that?

Getting stronger is only a part of getting faster.

Your training also needs plyometrics, eccentric and isometric training, and attention to weak links like your feet, calves, hamstrings, and hip flexors.

The weight room should support and augment your speed work—it’s not the big show and it won’t be the sole reason you get faster.

Follow for Part 2!

I’ll show you what to change in the weight room to maximize your speed training.

You’re leaving serious 60yd dash potential on the table if you’re making these 3 mistakes…

Here are the antidotes:

1) TRAIN YOUR TOP SPEED

Add flying sprints weekly: 3 flying 10yd sprints with a 30yd buildup will fix it right up.

2) CLEAN UP YOUR START

Relentlessly practice the same setup you’re going to use at a combine or showcase. Then build an explosive and efficient first 10yds. Film your start often!

3) BREAK THE 60 INTO PARTS

This strategy allows you to work on the important segments of the 60 independently. You want to isolate the 0-10yd segment with resisted sprints and explosive starts, the 10–30yd segment with various accelerations, and the 30-60yd segment with flying sprints and buildups. Time each segment to identify where you’re losing time. Then use occasional full 60s to put it all together and measure progress!

Plyometrics for speed: Beginner ➡️ Elite

Plyometrics should become more intense as you develop the ability to handle higher forces, higher speeds, and more complex movements.

Here’s how we progress our plyos:

1️⃣ Bilateral → Unilateral

Start with two legs to develop stiffness, landing control, and height. Progress to one legged jumps to increase the demand on each limb and better mimic sprinting.

2️⃣ Add Horizontal Speed

Strive for height AND distance. More horizontal speed means greater forces to accept and redirect with every foot contact.

3️⃣ Add Combinations

Combine different jumps, directions, and speeds. Now you have to navigate high forces WITH a high coordination demand.

The goal is not to add complexity for fun but to progressively challenge your stiffness and bounciness.

Want a faster 60-yard dash?

Stop trying to get up and run too early.

Two simple cues we use with our baseball players before they run a 60:

1️⃣ Accelerate as long as possible. BUILD the sprint by gradually climbing instead of rushing into an upright position. You should strive to push out past 40 yards.

2️⃣ Float above the laser beams. Once you’re up and sprinting, stay relaxed, and elevate your hips above the timing gates. Let all the speed you built in the drive phase carry you through the finish.

Simple cues = better ex*****on = faster 60s.
