Acceleration Training For Footballers/Soccer Players | Reach Top Speed Faster | Individual Drills

Acceleration is key to allow you to reach your top speed faster. In football/soccer the races that happen during a match are often on average over shorter distances of 10-15 meters. Even if your top speed is faster than your opponent, if you don't have good acceleration, you may get beaten to the ball if they have better acceleration. With these simple drills, you can improve your acceleration and become quicker off the mark.
