Why It Is Important??
Body Awareness
Regardless of the sport, speed and agility training exercises are essential to developing a young athlete's performance and ability. Agility training exercises help to teach young athletes healthy habits, proper body positioning, balance, coordination, and hand-eye coordination.
Athleticism
Speed and agility workouts compliment and improve performance of all sports. The workouts improve acceleration, deceleration, foot speed, quickness and change of direction. If you want to get better at a sport you must develop your overall athleticism
