Developing Agility and Quickness Description
The ball handler who fakes and then drives past a defender for an easy score. A pass rusher who leaves a would-be blocker in his wake on the way to sacking the quarterback. A setter who manages to maneuver both body and ball in the blink of an eye to make the perfect pass for the kill and match-winning point. These are all reasons agility and quickness are such prized physical attributes in modern sport.
Efforts to become markedly quicker or more agile, however, aren’t always successful. Genetic limitations, technical deficiencies, and inferior training activities are among the major obstacles.
Developing Agility and Quickness helps athletes blow past those barriers thanks to the top sport conditioning authority in the world, the National Strength and Conditioning Association. NSCA hand-picked its top experts to present the best training advice, drills, and programs for optimizing athletes’ linear and lateral movements. Make Developing Agility and Quickness a key part of your conditioning program, and get a step ahead of the competition.

If you are a fitness professional or strength coach and work with individuals who want to improve their athletic performance this book is an excellent resource for the principles and techniques related to training agility and quickness. If you are an athlete or coach who is looking for new drills or ideas for improving your game or practice, this book has an number of different exercises with illustrations and pictures to show how to set up and run the drills. The best thing about the way that Jay laid it out and wrote it is that you don't need a technical background in exercise science to be able to apply the ideas to your next training session or practice. Well done.
