Stage 2 - Functional Strength Training

FOR STAGE 2 YOU ALWAYS WANT TO USE A LIGHT AMOUNT OF WEIGHT WITHIN YOUR LEG SPEED WEIGHTS. This is not about loading up your Leg Speed Weights with as much as possible and thinking it will make you stronger. This couldn’t be farther from the truth! Doing this may injure you - stick to the program guidelines, doing this will increase your strength in a safe and effective way.

Perform your normal on-the-field movements specific to your sport such as kicking, punting, dribbling, passing etc building functional strength. The light resistance from the Leg Speed Weights pushes you to work harder within your sports specific movement, increasing speed, strength, as well as help you find that path to a more consistent kick or motion. This type of training will also decrease the chance of muscular injury by correcting muscle imbalances.
