As you all know, strength training is crucial for all athletes that are looking to bring their game to an elite level. But one factor of training that is so important and overlooked by most athletes is maintaining and performing speed and agility training on a weekly basis.

 

Why is speed and agility training so important? In lacrosse, having linear speed is a game changer, but something much more important to overall performance is having the ability to change direction at a quicker rate.

 

Performing drills or exercises that will help you react quicker on the field, or shave a few seconds off of each turn in a game, will allow you to build your offensive and defensive games dramatically. Realize that these types of sessions are not meant to be cardio sessions; instead all trainings that are focused on speed, agility, or speed endurance should be focused on short and intense bursts of speeds.

 

Speed is a motor task, and because of this, it is important to seek advice from a professional so you are taught the correct mechanics necessary for each drill. By learning the proper running/agility mechanics , and adding these drills to your weekly schedule, your overall speed will increase tremendously.
