164: Team speed

Speed is speed, right? Well, not exactly. The speed demands in team sports have some critical differences compared to track and field sprinting. Those had big ramifications in how speed should be trained for team sports. On this episode of the GAINcast, we take a look at training team speed. For more information on this topic, read the complete show notes at: http://www.hmmrmedia.com/2019/06/gaincast-episode-164-team-speed/ The following links were referenced in the podcast or provide some additional reading material on the topic: The GAINcast is brought to you by GAIN and HMMR Media. This month’s site HMMR Media theme is the speed. We've got lot of great content planned, starting with Vern Gambetta's classic Total Speed DVD, now available for HMMR Plus members to stream. Join HMMR Plus so that you don't miss out and get full access to our video, article, and podcast archive here on HMMR Media. We have some good episodes about speed in our archives, including GAINcast 115: Train speed in and GAINcast 39: Teaching Speed. This episode was inspired by Vern's post on team speed from May. We also have many more videos on training speed in the HMMR Classroom including basic speed exercises and drills in HMMR Classroom Lesson 6 with Joe McNab. For more advanced concepts, watch Lesson 7 on robust running with John Pryor and Lesson 15 on hip lock with Frans Bosch. Additional resources on sprinting can be found on our sprints page and were covered in our May 2018 site theme.
