Reply to "Working on speed"

I highly recommend a few sessions with a track coach to firm up the running mechanics. My son will never be fast, but he focuses on running correctly, fast twitch lower body acceleration and explosiveness. Ricky Henderson was never the fastest man on the field, but he could achieve his max velocity faster than anyone else - he was explosive. It seems to me that hitting, throwing, base stealing, and getting a jump in fielding are all based on that fast twitch lower half explosiveness.
