Program Overview
Creating speed is not just about moving faster or giving more effort, but about moving more efficiently and executing correctly. A lot of students have a higher speed threshold available but have not tapped into this due to “trying too hard”, having counterproductive motor patterns from previous sports, or simply not being aware of how to do so. This is where education and understanding really comes into play.
Once the Foundational Education Program has been set, students may look to utilize their bodies and recruit their fast twitch muscle fibers to execute more explosive and ballistic style training methods. Performing exercises at specific rep ranges and tempos will help recruit more of the fast twitch muscle fibers that are used to do dynamic movements such as swinging a golf club at higher speeds. Coupling that with education of where the energy or effort should be coming from is a recipe for success in creating more speed and explosiveness for the athlete. This program would be most ideal in late OFFSEASON or PRESEASON as the student’s body needs to be prepared to take on these types of dynamic movements with sound structure and posture and to as well as to hit the ground running for a great start to their season.
Speed Series Breakdown:
- Introduction on what speed is and how it’s created. Begin training in a way that promotes the proper activation of key muscle groups.
- Perform Foundational core and pelvis exercises at increased speed promoting the ability to move faster.
- Train timing concepts to ensure that the swing sequence produces speed.
- Introduce the concept of plyometrics which is exercises involving repeated rapid stretching and contracting of muscles to increase speed, via jumping and rebounding.
- Continued focus on plyometrics with the addition of lateral speed training.
- Speed related Pull and Push style exercises. Ensure correct movement patterns are occurring with higher speeds.
- Perform a combination of exercises to fully develop speed especially in the lower body. Combine rotational exercises to train core utilization in the production of speed.
- Adding progression related to full body speed and explosiveness.
- Introduction of SuperSpeed golf training system. Ensure the body is being used correctly.
