The deadlift perfectly personifies my method of sports conditioning. There is no gimmicks, you can’t do it half way, you make the lift or you don’t.
In the age of agility ladders, and endless sprint drills, the fact still remains that without proper strength, there isn’t enough power to move the athlete faster.
I am aware this isn’t sexy, strength takes hard work and effort, not just hopping around some cones, and running ridiculously complex patterns in agility ladders. Blood sweat and tears in most cases.
This is why most young athletes, that are exposed to gimmick filled programs, never get faster, or better at their sport, because they never build the base of strength to support the sprinting
