@skovar_app: Why you're always one step behind your opponent – and how to fix it with speed training for team sports. It's probably not your top speed: team athletes hit top speed after about 30 m – but the average sprint in a football game is just 17 m. What really decides the duel: 1️⃣ The first 10 metres – acceleration and your first step. Players reach about 84 % of their top speed there. 2️⃣ Reading the play – don't just watch the ball. Your opponent's body language often gives away his next move. 3️⃣ Minute 80 – tired legs lose the first step. How to train it: short starts of 5–10 m with full rest – and, in a separate session, several short sprints with short breaks. Save this for your next session. Where do you lose the duel – the start, reading the play, or minute 80? 👇 #speedtraining #acceleration #football #athletictraining #basketball
