[QUOTE="FrogCoach84, post: 1012714, member: 67373"] That's incorrect. The good strength and speed coaches can refine running form and emphasize certain explosive lifts and help a kid make significant gains in speed. As an example, our program has seen a great improvement in team speed since a D1 strength coach took a high school job to be around his boys. Now the 5.0 kids aren't running 4.3s....but they are running 4.8s. The 4.6 kids....one of them has gone from a 16 year old running a 4.68 to an 18 year old running a 4.43. You can't teach pure speed....but you can improve on it. Most kids have no idea how to run....they just use whatever natural talent they have. [/QUOTE]
