Quick Feet Speed Training

QUICK REACTIONS DRILL

This is a fun partner drill. Face a wall and your training partner throws a ball at the wall. Try to block the ball with your leg when it bounces back. Use different angels, with different speed, with different sizes of balls. The more variations you use, the better your results. For hand eye coordination try to catch the ball.

EXPLOSIVE POWER FOR SPEED

Explosive power is what gives you more height to your jumps and is the base for quick feet. I always like to do basic squat jumps to get that explosiveness. Do a normal squat but from the down position jump as high as you can. Concentrate on quickness and explosiveness.

PURE QUICKNESS

One of the best drills for quick feet is cross-over running. Run sideways and alternate your feet back and front as quick as possible. Run different length of distance and do stop and go side way sprints. Alternate them to challenge your body for the best results.

RESTING TIME

A simple mistake athletes make is that they don't rest long enough. When training for speed rest at least 3 minutes between sets and do every drill with maximum speed. Being well recovered from previous day training is also very important.
