D1 Killer #2: No Speed

Welcome back to Day 3! I'm Coach Mike from +PWR and today, we'll talk about the second biggest D1 Killer: No Speed

Problems With Having No Speed:

• Problem: You're too slow to make an impact at the Division 1 level
• What it Means: Your body is not able to move fast enough athletically to create the results you want.
• How it Shows Up: If you’re slow, you won't be able to steal a base when your team needs it, you can't play multiple positions, and you'll become a one dimensional player. 

Solution: Fix Your Direction

• What to Do: Train your speed at least two times per week.
• Why it Helps: When you train your body to move faster, you’ll not only run faster, but you’ll become more athletic and have the ability to impact the game in multiple ways.
• Example: First, start by addressing your running mechanics. This is the first step to gaining speed, followed by a series of different plyometric and sprinting drills.

What to Expect Next

Getting faster is key to impressing college coaches and earning a college scholarship.
