🗣️Attention Athletes (especially you 2026 NFL Draft eligible prospects) BE SPRINTING!! With NFL Rookie Minicamps coming up soon after this weekend’s draft you should be sprinting @ or near max speed 1-2 times per week. I despise fear mongering on social media but the truth is, for a late-round or UDFA guy, a hamstring injury early in camp can be a death sentence for their playing career. The best way to lessen that risk? Sprinting. A retrospective analysis published in 2023 (PMID: 37867737) correlated consistent near-max sprinting exposure with a significant reduction in hamstring injury risk. In fact, out of the 600 players under observation, those who reached 95% (or higher) of their recorded maximum speed 2 days before a game had 0 instances of hamstring strains. For most 🏈 players that 95% threshold is likely in the ~20-22.3 MPH range. If you don’t have access to GPS I highly suggest using laser timers to performed 10-yard Flys, simply set them up (at approximately hip height) 10-yards apart and give yourself 20-30 yards to get up to top speed before gate 1. The following chart will tell you the time to speed achieved; 0.91 = 22.48 0.92 = 22.23 0.93 = 22 0.94 = 21.8 0.95 = 21.54 0.96 = 21.32 0.97 = 21.1 0.98 = 20.87 0.99 = 20.66 1.00 = 20.45 1.01 = 20.25 1.02 = 20.05 1.03 = 19.86

Parents don’t know what they don’t know. Hell, many performance coaches don’t even know you can turn off type iix muscle fast-twitch fibers with certain types of strength training 🤷‍♂️
Had a flag parent tell me tell he’s training his daughter with long distance conditioning and I just smh 🤦🏿‍♂️

Interestingly, this is actually a way to potentiate better jump performance. The Ancient Greeks even used this method back in the original Olympic Games; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halter…
Back when Japanese jumper Hironori Nakajima cleared over 3.60m while holding dumbbells😳

If someone is being forced to prioritize speed or skill, it’s probably best to simply remember that entry into the highest level of the sport is gate-kept by speed. Hell, the Eagles just drafted a guy who has literally never played 🏈 before solely because of his size & speed.
Interesting conversation. I would have liked to hear all the competing opinions about this topic. My 2 cents. both arguments have merit. My experience may be unique to most. My formula for success has been rather simple: Find the 1 THING to prioritize above all others. The 1 thing to go all in on and NEVER sacrifice. For me that was SPEED. In my relentless pursuit and obsession with running fast, EVERYTHING got better as a byproduct. For me it was the “tide that lifted all boats” (and did so very well) I spent very little time working drills and spent 85% of my time learning this in the weight room - yet (my film proves) I became an elite mover on the field in all areas.. We prioritized training the Central Nervous System AND Force Absorption and Position above all. Speed, whether physical or processing, is the great separator in all sports. ALL governed by the central nervous system… The goal of training should be to strengthen the SIGNAL between the brain/muscles to be more powerful and efficient. However, it can also be true, that the best rarely operate at max speed in a game, but their efficiency of movement, body control and Instinct/IQ allow them to play the game faster than everyone else - Also a byproduct of a highly tuned CNS. Most weight programs I see do not understand how to do this and are just a collection of exercises. For anyone other than professionals who have the time and resources, especially young athletes, there simply isn’t enough time to master it all. So going all in on SPEED wins.
