The secret to Mbappe‘s speed Canberra Sprint Coach, May 8, 2024May 9, 2024 A recent article by Liam Tharme in The Athletic, pin points you don’t have to be Usain Bolt to play football at fast speed. At FAST for Sport we develop your ATP energy system to increase your speed, build power to improve acceleration, and work on maximum speed over 30-60m, so you can repeat (strength) short sprints at pace more often. We also focus on mobility and reaction to aide in your agility in a game. “When testing sprint ability, clubs look at players over 30 metres. Inside PSV Eindhoven’s academy, their benchmark for first-team level is under four seconds, but specifically the first 10 metres in under 1.9 seconds from a static start — the top speed is important, but the ability to get up to that quickly matters more.” “If Mbappe tried a burst of pace past him, Walker could go stride for stride but was also able to slow down quickly enough when Mbappe tried to come inside. Walker said his problems in that game came when he “slowed down too much”, nothing to do with his speed at all, but knowing how and when to use it.” “It might all be a bit of fun, but if anyone imagines Mbappe could genuinely compete against an elite sprinter, or vice versa, they are sorely mistaken.” For more information please reach out to Canberra Sprint Coach, Steve Dodt FAST for Sport CanberraFootballRunning Training
