Not getting enough air-time? Looking to tower over the competition at the blink of an eye? Having a higher vertical jump gives you an advantage, no matter what sport you play. That's why ATI offers the Katapult training shoe, Skillz Suit and Resist Parachute. While the shoe over works the calves, the Suit and Parachute develop the larger muscles of your leg. Ask about our training programs that literally take your game to a higher level.
Looking to gain a competitive edge in foot speed? Spin that rope! Jump rope for speed conditionings the cardio system, but also adds the benefit of creating quick feet.
Jumping rope allows the athlete to focus on properly landing on the power pads (forefoot) and quickly, repetitively reacting with a mini jump.
Medicine balls are great for generating force by throwing and tossing them away from your body. It’s different them lifting weights for power, since with med balls you can push or throw the weight away from you without having to slow it down.
Med balls, when used creatively, can add the element of lower body explosiveness to your training routines, such as sprints, shuffles, and backpedals.
The sprint training parachute is one of the best pieces of training equipment to add to your training arsenal! Chutes can be found on the market made in various shapes (single cup, multiple cup, etc.) and of various materials (single lines, multiple line, etc.) but their goal is the same—-provide resistance and to make athletes explosive!
This resistance can be applied sprinting forward, backwards, shuffling, hopping forward—-the list is almost endless. Today I am going to list some speed parachute drills combined with the agility ladder to help improve your game speed.
