Youth Speed & Agility Training

[supreemwun]

Love the video! Make sure to get those arms moving too. Looks good though! Keep up the good work it will pay off big time during the season!

Where did you get your speed sled? Did you make it?

[wwwMERTHcom]

The sled was made locally - by a friend. It cost roughly $20 to build.

Prices online have come down quite a bit in the past couple of years. Even so, a sled that can be pushed and pulled will generally run about $150.

[aggressivesskater]

does this make you faster?

[wwwMERTHcom]

Yes, these drills are designed to increase acceleration, agility, core control, and thereby overall speed.

Good speed and agility for his age!

[infamousleeroy]

good ideas but you need to work on core withhim. his arms are all over the place fighting his balance and cordination issues. This is evident if you know what to look for. doing the drills the with bad form is not making him better but reinforcing bad habits in form. The key to athletic development is proper form and technique. great idea and set up... just have to incorporate the proper form and technique and you will be on the right path.

[wwwMERTHcom]

You are absolutely correct. Form is something we are constantly working to improve. This video was made 2 years ago. His form is much more mature now than it was then. Two years from now, I expect his form to look much cleaner than it does now.

Getting young athletes to use to proper upper body mechanics is a constant battle.

[GozzyWozzy]

this dude is too young to work this hard

[baseballgeek27]

be sure to pump your arms well, and work on running form. 50% of running is form. I made huge improvements just by doing this.

[showzinone]

really need to work on form but yeah it will help
