There was an interesting article you can search on Jackson Holliday and his speed training this past offseason. Obviously he has access to elite training in every way but he was already fast and his goal is to be freaky fast (my choice of words).
My son worked with a couple of track people for a couple of different running warm up and speed drills over the years. Basic things like high knees/butt kickers into sprints, flyers, overspeed drills etc. He was intentional on working on his speed. Weight lifting along with going to run at the turf football field when he could all helped. My son ran a 7.5 fall of sophomore year in HS (a lanky 6'3"/170) and improved to 7.03 senior year (6'4"/190). Last measurement was fall of sophomore year college, he ran a 6.62 (6'4"/210).

Thanks, my son loved that Jackson Holliday article - it even had videos. Link here for anyone else interested: https://www.thebaltimorebanner...CRRECVBWSAW4ST4XWXA/
