Think speed training is just sprinting in a straight line? That’s where most athletes miss the mark.

True speed is built in the offseason and it goes far beyond linear acceleration. It requires a smart blend of linear power, lateral agility, and sport-specific mechanics that prepare your body to move fast and stay healthy.

In this week’s Spooner blog, Spooner Sports Institute Head Sports Performance Coach Ernie breaks down why skipping sprint work now doesn’t just limit performance, but it can increase injury risk later.

Train smarter now. Move faster when it counts.
