Increase Football Speed and Get Faster on the Football Field

Track is run straight ahead...they have no reason to develop anything

but linear speed.

But, on the football field, that just won't cut it. You're a football player, you know that you have to run forward, laterally, backpedal, and at odd angles, sometimes in a stop-start fashion. To only train for straight ahead speed is an enormous mistake!

You absolutely must train for lateral speed by not only running laterally but jumping and lifting in the same motion.

Movements like:

Lateral Lunges

Lateral Sled Pulls

45-Degree Angle Lunge

Asterisks Lunges

Lateral Box Jumps

Shuffle Sled Pulls

When you add these movements to your training you will get faster for football. If you ignore them and only focus on Track-style training, you might run a good 40, but, you'll never be the best player you could be.
