Master Speed and Power With the Resistance Harness

Key Points

• SPEED WORK ESSENTIALS: Focus on two key aspects: assistance and resistance.
• HARNESS RESISTANCE: When behind you, it strengthens and enhances your power.
• HARNESS ASSISTANCE: Pulling you forward improves stride frequency for increased speed.
• VERSATILE USAGE: Option 1: Partner-assisted for dynamic movement. Option 2: Attach to a fixed point for solo training.
• QUALITY MATTERS: Invest in a durable harness to prevent injuries from snapping.
• PREPARATION IS KEY: Master Dave’s footwork routines and moves available on his profile before moving on to harness training.
• BALANCE IS CRUCIAL: Due to the resistance and assistance provided, maintaining balance is essential.
• ENHANCED PERFORMANCE: The added load and resistance not only increase speed but also improve posture and balance.
• IMMEDIATE CONTRAST DRILL: Perform grounded footwork with the harness, then remove it and immediately and have someone feed you balls to experience the difference without resistance
• FASTER RECOVERY: Utilizing the harness behind you significantly aids in quicker recovery.
• MODERATION IN PRACTICE: Limit yourself to just one of each exercise, as it's considerably more demanding on the body
• PROGRESSIVE TRAINING: Ensure proficiency in grounded footwork before advancing to one-foot footwork exercises
• REINFORCING MUSCLE MEMORY: Post-exercise, have your coach feed balls to solidify muscle memory
• ADAPTING TO FRONT HARNESS: With the harness in front, continue footwork but opt for shadow shots to avoid contact with the harness
• RECOVERY AND STABILITY BOOST: The harness enhances recovery when positioned behind and improves stability by exerting a pulling force
• ENERGY-INTENSIVE TRANSFERS: Executing transferring moves is aggressive and consumes significantly more energy.
• POWER ENHANCEMENT: Transferring moves effectively increase the power behind your shots
