How to get FASTER - Skipping Progression

There are many ways to develop your speed that don't require a huge time commitment. One of those ways is by working on skipping. Skipping seems pretty simple and you're probably wondering how that will help develop speed??

Here are a few ways skipping can aid in Speed Development:

1. It improves overall coordination - working on moving with opposite arm and opposite leg, just like their running motion should do.
Better coordination --> better movement --> increased speed!

2. It helps them learn a proper arm swing and a proper knee drive

3. Builds single leg strength and power

4. Improves Balance
