Frequently asked

Improve Speed — your questions answered.

How often should I train with this equipment?+

Most players see results from 3–4 short focused sessions per week (20–40 minutes) on top of team training. Quality of reps beats total hours every time.

Agility ladder or speed hurdles — which first?+

Start with a ladder. It builds the foot-speed and coordination base. Add hurdles once you want to layer in knee drive and plyometric work.

Do I really need recovery equipment?+

If you train 3+ times a week, yes. Rollers, bands and basic mobility work cut soreness and reduce injury risk — they're as important as the speed work itself.
