Course: Speed of Action
Speed of action is often used as a container term in football. As a result, coaches, scouts and practitioners frequently interpret it in different ways.
This course provides a practical framework to better understand what speed of action actually is, which factors influence it and how it can be identified and developed in players.
By breaking speed of action down into its technical, physical and cognitive components, participants gain a clearer understanding of one of the most important aspects of football performance.
