Speed Training for Football
Football speed isn't one thing — a wide receiver's top-end speed and a lineman's first-step explosiveness are different problems. Sports Training Los Angeles tailors speed coaching to the actual demands of each position group.
Programming adjusts acceleration and speed work based on position: explosive short-area quickness for linemen, open-field top-end speed for skill players, and everything between for linebackers and defensive backs.
Position-Specific Speed Demands
Skill positions train for open-field top-end speed, while linemen and linebackers train explosive short-area quickness.
Route and Coverage Speed
Receivers and defensive backs get speed work tied directly to route-running and coverage footwork.
First-Step Explosiveness
Line positions focus on the explosive first step that wins at the point of contact.
In-Season Maintenance
Speed work is adjusted during the season to maintain explosiveness without adding unnecessary fatigue.
