Essential Agility is an essential training guide for athletes and coaches seeking to excel in today’s fast-action sports. The drills and training programs in this book will get you a step ahead of the competition, whether you’re on the court or on the turf.
Most competitive sports require rapid whole-body movements in which athletes need to accelerate, decelerate, and change direction in response to game situations.
That’s why coaches, athletes, and strength and conditioning professionals are constantly searching for the most effective ways to improve agility and quickness.
Here is the course outline:
