 Let's be honest speed is an asset that every player would love to possess in this video I'm gonna teach you how to run faster Are many different approaches you can take to increasing your speed no matter how slow you are today I want you to know that you can and will become faster if you follow this advice If you are a fast player stay hungry and ambitious to increase your speed even more to simplify the process I've broken down four important keys to increasing your speed if you don't know about me I used to be a huge underachiever, but through obsessive self-improvement I found my success earned a college scholarship played for my national futsal team a YouTube channel with over 100 million views I've helped players worldwide, and I'd love to help you improve faster and achieve more Number one change your attitude towards sprinting sprinting is something you want to do Running is something you want to do fitness is something you want to do Why because it's taking you closer to your goal It's taking you closer to your goal of becoming faster of becoming a better player of achieving Whatever dreams you have in this game, so you know that every sprint you take it's making you faster Every time you put in that hard work that other players don't want to do it's making you faster So number one you have to change your attitude towards sprinting This is something that you want to do every single day Number two Continually practice the skill of sprinting sprinting is a skill you look at shooting as a skill You know that if you practice that skill enough, it will improve Everyone wants to become faster, but very few people are actually practicing the skill of running fast So you need to look at this new technique that you want to improve Has a skill and if you practice it every single day You approach it like you would any other skill you will improve So I recommend that you practice your sprinting at least a couple times a week if not every day You don't have to do hundreds of sprints, but you have to be consistent and you have to look at it as a technique Don't just assume you're slow genetically so you can't run faster if you focus on it like a skill You analyze it like a skill you can and will improve the skill of sprinting Number three focus on the improvement of sprint mechanics Everyone can get faster if they improve the efficiency of their movement What I recommend you do is go on to YouTube and watch Olympic sprinters watch slow motion of Olympic sprinters breakdown of sprint mechanics You want to look at the fastest guys in the world? How are they running fast? What are they doing? It's not just genetics. They're moving in a specific way that is allowing them to move faster than the average athlete So a couple things that I think about personally number one is that knee drive You want to drive your knees forward not straight up, but forward up and forward Propelling you across the field next I think about the power and the efficiency of my arm movement So I'm not only running with my legs. I'm running with powerful arms. You want to think about straight lines So your back should not be hunched over in a curve It should be a straight line your toes should be pointed straight forward not outwards You also want to think about having strong tension in your feet So when your foot hits the ground if your foot is weak You're not going to be able to produce energy to produce power and acceleration You want to have a strong foot with flexed toes Pushing propelling the ground behind you to force yourself forward So you need to do your own research and find your own sprint mechanic cues that you can think about when you're practicing sprinting If you like this content, check out the soccer success planner.
