We have tried many different approaches to speed training for my sons. Having played college football myself, I realize the importance of speed and quickness and that it separates the stars from the average players.
We have tried Nike Sparq, parachutes, pulling weighted sleds, plyometrics, leg weights and sprints uphill and downhill, and the only approach we found that actually increased leg turnover (speed and quickness), was the resistance bands and the program through AthleticQuickness.com.
We have found that using them consistently over the years 3 times per week, their lateral quickness along with their 40 times have gotten measurably faster.
Although my son was already very talented and fast, there are many kids that are at an elite level, and I do believe that these bands has given him an advantage over his competition.
He was an All-State WR as a Junior, and is currently one of the top WR’s in the West and receiving recruiting attention from many of the top Pac-12 programs along with many great programs throughout the country.
