Abstract
SPEED AND AGILITY TRAINING THE MUSTANG WAY:
THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INSTRUCTIONAL DVD FOR CAL POLY ATHLETES’ SUMMER TRAINING
Gary Douglas Heron
The purpose of this project was to create an instructional DVD of speed and agility training for Cal Poly student-athletes. The DVD is for athletes’ use when they are away from campus during summer break and contains information about the same drills and information the strength and conditioning coaches provided while athletes were on campus. The project was filmed and edited by the graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach for Cal Poly intercollegiate athletics. The DVD contains 74 drills that encompass speed techniques, acceleration techniques, plyometrics, footwork, and change of direction. Recommendations for further empirical research in the area of speed and agility training are provided.
