Sports Speed, the second edition of the successful Sportspeed, is the perfect training guide to help athletes of all ages and levels maximize their speed and quickness.

Using the latest research, the authors have updated and expanded their trendsetting seven-step model that builds all key components in developing speed for sports--strength, power, technique, and endurance.

Sports Speed covers all aspects of developing speed, including specific movements and skills for seven specific sports. The book shows how to create individual or sports-specific speed training programs for age-group athletes at all levels—from high schoolers to Olympians and pros.

Starting with skills assessment, athletes can evaluate themselves and zero in on specific areas needing improvement. This guide also explains how to save training time and improve performance while reducing injuries. Other highlights include:

• 85 photos showing proper exercise technique;
• 92 drills for speed and quickness training;
• sample training programs for basketball, football, baseball/softball, soccer, hockey, tennis, and track; and
