Both are important. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
Step 1: Speed
- Short sprints, shuttle runs, and ladder drills
- Focus: Quick first step and lateral movement
Step 2: Strength
- Weighted squats, lunges, and explosive jumps
- Focus: Finish stronger, jump higher, absorb contact
Step 3: Combine Both
💡 Tip: If you only do one, your game is limited. Explosive strength + speed = elite performance.
