Developing Agility and Quickness

by National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA)

The ball handler that fakes and then drives past a defender for an easy score. A pass rusher that leaves a would-be blocker in his wake on the way to sacking the quarterback. A setter that manages to maneuver both the body and the ball in a blink of the eye to make the perfect pass for the kill and match-winning point. All examples why agility and quickness are such prized physical attributes in modern sport. Efforts to become markedly quicker or more agile, however, aren't always successful. Genetic limitations, technical deficiencies, and inferior training activities are among the major obstacles.Developing Agility and Quickness helps athletes blow past those barriers thanks to the top sports conditioning authority in the world, the National Strength and Conditioning Association. NSCA hand-picked its top experts to present the best training advice, drills, and programs for optimizing athletes' linear and lateral movements. Make Developing Agility and Quickness a key part of your conditioning program, and get a step ahead of the competition.
