Our 4 Steps to Speed
Ways to Increase Your Speed & Acceleration
Everyone can get faster, and everyone can improve their acceleration when working with First Touch Speed Training. Let a First Touch speed trainer build you a personal plan to increase your speed and make you a star in your chosen sport.
There are four important elements that will make you a faster athlete.

Strength & Power Training
Power relates directly to absolute speed. Power is a combination of both strength and speed of contraction. Increase either one and you increase power. Weight training increases strength and plyometric training converts that strength into speed and power.

Sprint
Training
Let 1sTouchSpeed improve your speed off the mark by teaching you proper running mechanics and acceleration training. A well formulated speed training routine will not tire you out but improve personal speed and increase your mental acuity.

Endurance
Training
To improve speed, your endurance drills should be intense. Join us and let our First Touch speed trainers supervise your endurance training program to increase your performance in a safe environment that will reduce the chance of injury.

Flexibility
Training
Stretching increases range of motion, and increases power and speed of motion. Flexibility training releases tension and promotes speed of relaxation. Increasing range of motion helps to lengthen leg stride, which is essential for changes in direction.
Strength Training
If you are an athlete, then you should have a strength training plan. The benefits of strength training for good athletic performance is immeasurable and should be an integral part of your workout. In order to excel every athlete requires explosiveness, muscular endurance, maximal strength or a combination of all three.
Elements of First Touch Speed Strength Training Program: Depending on the type of athlete, we decide which element(s) is required and necessary. Our customizable strength training program is not only sports specific, but player specific as well.
Muscle Bulk & Size
Only a select group of athletes such as football players, wrestlers, and weight lifter need to bulk up. For soccer players and most other athletes, too much muscle bulk is a bad thing. The focus for athletes such as soccer players isn’t muscle bulk but rather maximal strength.
Maximal Strength
This is the highest level of force an athlete can possibly generate. Its importance varies depending on each specific sport and it’s all about the sport-specific strength endurance or explosive power needed for performance of that sports and the length of time required for that specific period of explosive endurance. For a sport such as soccer, it is continuous in small intervals throughout the whole game. Maximal strength training can improve exercise economy and endurance performance.
Explosive Power
Most sports such as soccer and basketball require movements that are much more rapid and in short burst, with demand on a higher power output during those movements and short burst. An athlete can be exceptionally strong but may lack substantial power due to an inability to contract muscle quickly. We use a range of power training methods such as plyometrics to improve explosive power.
Strength Endurance
Our strength endurance training program focuses more on body weight and high repetition especially for the young athlete, through circuit training. However, it is important to understand that the same strength endurance training isn’t across the board for all athletes because - a set of 10-15 repetitions for example does not condition the neuromuscular system for a soccer player in the same way as football player.
Periodization
Periodization is customizing each program for the athlete based on the different phases of the program and the recovery and right change periods depending on the specific outcomes required. This allows and measures peak times, whilst minimizing the risk of over-training and injury. Taking proper care of your body as an athlete should be a priority for all athletes and knowing how and when to train week-in week-out is essential to avoid injuries so periodization permits variations in intensity and volume to promote performance enhancements for as long as possible.
Flexibility
The body’s muscles and joints play a very important role in athletic movements and for all athletes. Unfortunately, it’s one of the areas of training that often gets the least amount of attention. A good stretching regiment improves range of motion, reduces the risk of injuries, improves performance, and mobility. Athletes are working out every day and thus need to stretch every day. The stretches we do with our athletes help elongate the muscles, making the joints more flexible, and thus really breakdown the muscles and rebuild them up stronger and longer than before. Moreover, our flexibility training program can help athletes correct disparities, while preventing chronic, over-use injury. The top athletes are very mobile and to be mobile you have to be flexible, in order to enhance your movement on the field with greater ease and dexterity; improving your performance.
Circuit
Our Circuit training program targets balance, strength building and muscle endurance, and will take you to your maximum physical effort as well as your maximum heart rate. Generally, circuit training is a form of resistance efficient high-intensity conditioning program that works well for developing strength, endurance (both aerobic and anaerobic), flexibility and coordination. We generally recommend circuit training for athletes during the off-season workouts and pre-season to help develop a solid base of fitness and to prepare the body for more stressful subsequent training.
