Episode 18: In this episode, I (@les7spellman) talk about the reasons athletes should want to get faster, why we don’t have more buy-in for speed development, and solutions for common speed training misconceptions.
One note: this podcast was originally recorded in Spring 2022, so there are some details pertaining to that time period.
Before checking out the main talking points, I just released my new 8-week `Elite Speed Program` if you’re interested in how we program with our youth & elite athletes. It is on early bird special right now: https://courses.spellmanperformance.com/elite-speed-program?coupon=ELITE25
Main talking points:

- Why we should want to get faster
- Why we don’t always see buy-in on speed development
- Training strategies with small amounts of time
- Importance of measurement when training athletes
