Football, basketball, soccer and hockey are all fast-paced sports involving a lot of quick starts and abrupt stops. Players must be able to move forward, sideways and sometimes even backward – all while managing to stay balanced and maneuvering around the opposition.
For this reason, off-season agility workouts can pay big dividends in increasing a player’s effectiveness. By simulating what an athlete may encounter during the course of a game, agility training helps to improve footwork, speed and overall explosiveness. Practice and repetitions also help create muscle memory within the athletes’ legs and feet. Their bodies begin to respond spontaneously to the changing environment – and may help build some confidence as well.
