Speed Training Exercises

Want to be the first to the ball when the goalkeeper hoofs it up the pitch? Looking to return those last-minute drop shots next to the net or catch the ball before it hits the boundary? You need speed.

It may seem like a difficult one to train for, but speed is one of the most imperative areas to focus on, especially when it comes to team games and making a real difference. It’s all about utilising and improving those fast-twitch muscle fibres that are powerful but typically fatigue quicker.

From ankle jumps and power skips to calf raises and mountain climbers, here you’ll find workouts that incorporate quick, rapid movements.

So, what are you waiting for? Train for your game now.
