@coachdarperformance: Straight-line speed has nothing to do with your reaction time on defence. That’s why getting faster in a sprint never translated to getting to more balls. Defence is a different pattern entirely, absorb, react, push off, all under an unpredictable cue. Train it with planned patterns and your nervous system learns the pattern, not the skill. Train it with a visual cue instead, and you’re training what the game actually demands. Keep the volume low. Reaction is a neurological quality, it disappears the moment fatigue shows up. Three sets, full rest, max effort beats a tired set of twenty every time. 90 days of that and the difference shows up on defence, not just on paper. Adult rec player 24+ competing in leagues and tournaments, follow. This is built for you.
