Insights on Speed Training from Sportsmith Conference Presentations

Presenters at the Sportsmith conference shared valuable insights on speed training, emphasizing the importance of building resistance to fatigue in speed development. The godfather of plyometrics, Boo Shexnator, highlighted the significance of horizontal plyometrics and variability in training to enhance bone compressive resistance. Implementing a varied approach to plyometrics, incorporating different landing positions and movement patterns, emerged as a key strategy to prepare athletes for repetitive ground impacts.
