The biggest gains in explosiveness don't always come from the biggest jumps.
Many athletes focus on high-intensity plyometrics, but low-amplitude plyometrics are often the missing piece. These quick, controlled movements help athletes:
✔️ Improve stiffness and elasticity for more efficient force transfer
✔️ Develop faster ground contact times
✔️ Build tendon resilience and movement quality
✔️ Create a stronger foundation for higher-intensity power training
The result? Better acceleration, quicker change of direction, and more explosive performance when it matters most.
If you're programming athletes for long-term development, don't overlook the basics. Sometimes the smallest jumps create the biggest improvements.

Adding resistance to training is not about making sprinting harder, it is about teaching your body to produce more force.
Using the VertiMax, we focused on:
Pogos
Jump Squats
Resisted Sprints
Kneeling Sprints
Assisted Sprints
Each exercise attacks speed from a different angle, helping athletes improve force production, acceleration, and sprint mechanics.
The goal is not to just work harder, but it is to move with more intent so that when the resistance comes off, your body is ready to move faster.
Speed is not built from one drill. It is built by consistently exposing your body to the right stimulus.
Want a faster swing? ⚾️
Work on speed and power through better movement and force production.
Train the patterns, not just the outcome with these drills:
1. Shuffle step to Banded Rotation. The athlete performs a controlled lateral shuffle and transitions immediately into an explosive rotational pull to develop lateral quickness and transverse plane power.
2. Split Stance Trap Bar Deadlift. The athlete is driving through his front leg while maintaining hip and trunk stability to build unilateral strength and force production.
3. Broad Jump. The athlete is loading through the hips and explosively jumps forward, emphasizing triple extension and controlled landing mechanics to improve horizontal power.
4. SL Glute Bridge. The athlete is driving through his heels to extend the hips while maintaining pelvic stability and glute activation.
