subject: Top Notch Athletic Performance With Truth About Quickness [print this page] The Truth About Quickness Insider's System is the brain child of two speed training specialists: Alex Maroko and Kelly Baggett.
Alex is a younger instructor who is also author of the Effective Ball Handling Program. Kelly is somewhat of a legend within the sports training community, also, his most famous work is the Vertical Jump Bible.
Kelly is extremely educated and experienced in the case of speed training, however he isn't that great at communicating his thoughts. Alex makes up for his lack of experience with superb communication ability. Together, they deliver an awesome coaching course.
I am not saying that Kelly cannot communicate or that Alex does not understand speed training. In actual fact, they each do this better than 99% of the trainers around. What I am saying is that what one is missing, the other one makes up, and more.
The Truth About Quickness syllabus is very easy to understand and simple to stick to. It additionally helps that the workouts are actually brief, and you can literally finish each workout in about ten minutes. You also get videos of all the exercises so you know exactly how one can do them, and the charts show you how to maintain track of your exercises.
The only liability that I could uncover with the program was that the video quality seemed low. It was shot in a rough gym, which seems like it has been utilized by numerous athletes. Nevertheless, just because the videos were not taken in High quality does not do anything to lessen from the fact that the Truth About Quickness is a good speed coaching program.
Here are three of my favorite basketball training workout routines for blazing on-court speed:
1. Low, On-Off Box Jumps
To perform this training, find a low stair or box between 2-6 inches in height. Next, stand before the box, and jump on and off the box as easily and quickly as possible. Do this for 2-4 sets of 10 reps (jumping on top of the box and then off of it is counted as one rep).
2. Lateral Line Hops
To accomplish this training, depict a straight line onto the ground or apply a bit of adhesive tape. Next, stand at one side of the line and jump horizontally back and forth across the line. Do the jumps as rapidly as you can. If you want extra bounce in your step, jump a bit elevated above the line and focus more on timing and smoothness than simply speed. Do this for 2-3 sets of 20 repetitions (one jump across the line is counted as 1 rep).
3. Pogo Jumps
To do this exercise, you have to jump as high as you can, however focus on getting all your jumps out of your plantar flexors (ankles). To do this, keep your knees and hips nearly locked, and simply use your ankles to push your self into the air. Truly focus on bouncing off the ground, and reduce your ground contact duration. Do that for 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps.
