Slow feet don’t eat.

Four weeks, three days a week, built around speed, agility, explosiveness and core strength.

THE WEEK, EVERY WEEK.

Day 1 speed and plyometrics. Day 2 agility and conditioning. Day 3 endurance and core.

Every day opens with a 5 to 10 minute jog and dynamic stretch and closes with 5 to 10 minutes of static stretching. Nothing gets skipped.

THE SPRINT PROGRESSION.

Week 1: 8 × 20 yards.

Week 2: 6 × 40 yards.

Week 3: 4 × 60 yards.

Week 4: 4 × 75 yards.

Conditioning builds the same way, from gassers and 5-10-5 shuttles into hill sprints, 300-yard shuttles, suicides and stair sprints. Agility runs off the Quick Feet Ladder Circuit plus med ball lateral bounds.

AFTER FOUR WEEKS YOU WILL:

Be faster out of your break and faster over the top.

Change direction without gearing all the way down.

Have the conditioning to still be covering in the fourth quarter.
