What if the secret to developing blazing speed in youth athletes isn't just about strength training or perfect form? Today, we uncover the groundbreaking methodology inspired by Les Spellman and Spellman Performance, used at HansenAthletics to catapult young athletes to their peak speed. You’ll discover why short, full-speed sprints with ample rest are crucial, and how incorporating resisted sprints can dramatically improve strength and power. Say goodbye to conventional wisdom and learn the real essentials for nurturing speed.
We also break down the often overlooked yet vital components of plyometrics and technical sprinting form. This episode offers a comprehensive guide from intensive plyometric exercises that bolster lower leg resilience to the critical role of proper—but not always textbook—sprinting technique. We’ll reveal why strength, while important, isn’t the be-all and end-all for speed development. Join us for an episode packed with actionable insights and practical advice designed to optimize your youth athletic training programs.
