So, I guess my training results are in question, huh? Ask that to the state championship boys cross-country team from 2003 back from itty bitty Cooperstown, ND, and ask them if my training methods...

I've also seen the studies and heard speakers on the benefits of incline running and how it improves running form, muscle loading & firing, and force production through those direct pathways. Forces...

For one, it appears to me that elite track athletes go to Charlie Francis to work specifically on that. Not everyone who goes to Frappier Acceleration sites have aspirations of breaking a world...

Why the emphasis on track-only performances for comparison? There are other sports you know, and those are the sports that the 100,000+ athletes come from. Basketball, Baseball, Football, Hockey,...

Cross-training is a good way to add variety to the workouts, but if you're looking at specifically training for football, I'd get off the bike. Try jump roping, agility ladders, sprint workouts,...

150 sites, over 100,000 athletes trained, and you call it a piece of **** program?

I've personally met with the creator and president of the Frappier Acceleration Sports Training franchise, John...

If you want to tie a T-bone to your ass and be chased by pit bulls, go ahead.

I'll stick to the treadmill in a much safer environment.

I always like to invite those who critique the treadmill we use and have a trial run on it. They find out that a) the treadmill doesn't drive your leg back for you, and b) you gotta keep pushing off...

Check your library or bookstore for "Sports Speed" by George Dintiman. Its a good resource for learning more about the basics of speed, methods used, how to develop those basic speed skills, and...

Treadmill use of the high-speed variety has its place in a training program. Randy Moss, Cris Carter, and thousands of other professional athletes have used high speed treadmills to prepare and...

I'd advise against not going off of some college's program and 'make it fit into yours'. Its just not going to be a successful strategy for you. It could be either too much volume, too much...

The answer to all these questions that keep popping up on vertical jump is that there are WAY too many factors that go into how effective a program or training device is. Some of the best jumpers...

Ask your coach why they do the things they do. If he says "Well, this is what others do, so we have to do it this way." Then ask him, "Well, are we that team or are we a mirror image of that team...

Good luck reading through DB's explanations of things. He keeps on saying things are so simple, yet it seems everyone I talk to about his training recommendations agree with me that its some...

Chances are you'll get more height off the run & jump off one leg.

Stick to the posterior chain workout suggestions, chop off the calf raises like you have said you've done, and try this little...

My judgement is that they look like they hang so much is because of the kick of their legs in the air, which makes it look like they hang in the air more. If they had straight legs going up and...

To me, focusing on better technique and better movements (like increased speed/agility, more endurance, better form in specific movements) will give you a physical edge to go alongside your mental...

HydroStorm's got it right: high intensity cardio is the way to go, but don't expect great strength gains if you're doing all your high intensity cardio work before your strength training. The body...

Are you in HS, college? Can your coaches give you any direction? They are the ones who know your performance the best, and generally can give you an indication on what to improve on, instead of the...

For programs, you can do a Google and find just about anything out there. Your first bet is to try and figure out what your greatest needs are for speed/agility, and focus on that, centering your...
