Development
What is speed, and why is it so
important? Why does every coach,
want their players to be
faster?
It is
the maximum capacity of an individual to move from
one point to another. This type of speed is
primarily
genetic, and there is an old saying that ”the only way to be fast is to choose your parents”.
Of
course this is an exaggeration but unfortunately to
a point is true. Every player can improve in
relative degrees their pure speed, explore this
section and learn how.
