Ranking the Top 5 Acceleration Exercises to Get Faster (with Coaching Cues and Progressions)
Acceleration is not about random drills. It’s about exaggerating the right qualities, letting athletes self-organize, and progressing from general to specific. In this video, I rank my top 5 acceleration exercises from #5 to #1, plus an honorable mention. I break down what each drill does well, what it does not, and how to coach it so it actually transfers to sprint performance. You will learn: -The best drills to improve early acceleration mechanics -How to use resistance, body angles, and shin angles effectively -Why exaggeration and self-organization matter more than over-cueing -How to apply heavy resisted sprints using a simple velocity-based rule -Strength and plyometric standards that support faster acceleration This is a practical, coach-to-coach breakdown for speed development, sprint training, and acceleration programming.
