The 60 Yard Dash VS Stealing Second Base
When training baseball players for speed I often ask them if they understand how running a 60 yard dash is different from stealing second base. I usually receive very intelligent answers. They understand that the distance between the two types of runs is different (180 feet versus less than 90 feet) and they even point out that they cannot get picked off when running a 60 yard dash. What boggles my mind, however, is that the player will then...
Stop Slouching and Stand-up Straight to Improve Your Speed
A common phrase often heard from parents, teachers, and coaches is to “stand-up straight and stop slouching!” This saying is so common that it usually goes in one ear and out the other. Is this just some twisted way to harp on kids or does this advice actually have some merit? Although this phrase is yelled at just about everyone, it is particularly valuable for people who play sports. Believe it or not, the advice of keeping good posture...
Push-off Versus Landing Strength… and how they Relate to Speed
In order to move your body forward during sprinting, most athletes realize that they need to explosively push down and back into the ground. Therefore, they’ll train for hours in the weight room working towards improving their push-off strength (another term for push-off strength is concentric strength). Most will use traditional exercises such as leg presses and squats in hopes of accomplishing this goal, often only paying attention to the part...
With Thurman’s Secrets, My Son Improved Almost a
Full Second In the 60 Yard Dash In Under 30 Days!”
“My son can hit the ball a country mile, and has been told that he has an opportunity to be a high round draft pick. However, he’s also been told that his speed is a liability and that his 60 time needs to improve if he wants to be selected in the top five rounds.
I’ve heard about the magic that Thurman performs in regards to improving 60 yard dash times. My son and I were traveling four hours into Chicago for a showcase camp and we decided to set up a session with him later that same evening.
That morning at the showcase my son was timed at 8.2 seconds in the 60 yard dash and was basically ignored. After performing all day at the camp we met with Thurman. Before teaching anything, he had him warm-up again and run another 60 using the same circumstances that were used at the camp. The result was basically the same… 8.19.
Thurman then spent two hours with my son sharing 60 yard dash secrets, working on his baseball start, and improving his overall running mechanics. I am not lying when I tell you that he ran 7.55 by the end of that session… an improvement of about 0.7 in one session!
We have since traveled back home and my son has been working hard on his own to build on everything that Thurman had taught him. After about a month, he asked the track coach to re-time him in the 60. He was now a 7.33. With Thurman’s secrets, he improved almost a full second in the 60 yard dash in under 30 days!
I would absolutely recommend Thurman Hendrix and his 60 Yard Dash Secrets to every position player in baseball!”
