Strength for Speed

Amazing timing for this article. Thanks Google alert...

I had just finished having 2 different phone conversations with parents about speed training for their kids when I checked my email and found this article. Is that called Serendipity?

The main point behind both of my phone calls was that in order for the child to improve their speed of movement, they ultimately needed to get stronger. While technique is certainly important and part of our everyday training programming at Meyer Athletic Development, athletes need more than proper mechanics and footwork.

Without strength, we cannot produce force. If we can't produce force, we cannot overcome the weight of our own body and move it quickly. So, hopefully, you can see that strength training is beneficial for so much more than bulking up and lifting huge objects.

Take a look at this article and tell me what you think!
