TrainingTips.com: What are some common misconceptions that you encounter when it comes to speed training?
Adam: There is a big misconception where a lot of people think that you either are fast or you are not and that it can’t be improved. A person’s speed can always be improved. I can get anybody faster than what they are, what I can’t get them is Olympic speed fast if they don’t already have some initial talent. Another misconception is that younger athletes shouldn’t do this type of training. Nowadays, younger athletes NEED to do this type of training. Kids are getting traumatic injuries at younger and younger ages (the specialization of sports at younger ages is one of the reasons). So, if these kids are going to start training year round for one sport, then they need to start working with people like me to reduce the chances of injuries happening. I require that an athlete be at least 10 years or older with our training. What I do with a 10 year old will be different than a high school student. But, I can still improve the athleticism of the 10 year old, which in turn will make that individual faster.
