People treat reflexes like height. You have them or you don’t.

That is lazy.

The gap that wins a save, a return, or a first-step cut is usually 80–150 milliseconds. That gap is three things: you saw it, you decided, you started. Most training only hits the start — ladders, sprints, shadow boxing. The eyes and the decision never get a session.

A simple way to tell if you are actually getting faster:

• Simple reaction (one cue, one action) should tighten up first.

• Choice reaction (go / no-go) should improve without more false starts. If you get quicker and sloppier, you trained panic.

• Film 10 real reps from your sport. Time cue → first movement. That is the only number that matters.

15 minutes, five days a week, beats a 90-minute “reaction” workout once a week. The nervous system does not like heroes.

If you want the full 4-week protocol with tests and sport add-ons, it lives inside Faster Reflexes Training System. If you just want the idea: measure the cue, not the highlight.
