Training 101: How to Take Your Team to the Top

"Parisi Speed and Agility has allowed my team to become faster, stronger and use the skills learned to attack every phase of the game. We have taken a brand new group of girls and with the help of Parisi we have shown results that would take years to happen. The girls have confidence about themselves that comes from working hard over the winter on brand new skills that allow them to compete Nationally. Thanks Parisi for giving our girls the extra advantage they needed for our run at the Nationals." - RAY ROMANO (EAST COAST TSUNAMI HEAD COACH/MANAGER)

Coaches know that today’s champion teams are composed of more than just technical players. A super team today has to be a strong, fast, flexible team with great nutrition and a solid mental attitude. The Parisi Speed School has trained hundreds of New Jersey high school teams over the years.

The Team Training Pyramid
For most athletes, they think that if they practice hard, learn technique and understand the game, maybe they will have a shot at the starting team. Unfortunately, this old way of thinking is not going to lead your team to the championship. Before your players worry about being knowledgeable technicians on the field, they must first make sure that their foundation as an athlete is strongly built. The foundation of a great player includes speed, strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, coordination, injury prevention, nutrition and mental toughness. Not only will your team be limited in the level that it can reach if you are missing just one of those components, but if you are not working on many of them currently, high level performance for the team is going to be impossible. To illustrate this, we offer the Team Training Pyramid. Notice that the size of the base of the pyramid determines the height that the pyramid can reach. The bigger the base the higher the structure. The same is true for your team . The bigger it’s athletic base, the higher level of performance it can attain.

With this in mind, coaches must recognize their team’s specific areas of weakness and address them. If at the end of each week your team has not worked on and improved their speed, strength, endurance, flexibility or nutrition, they are not doing what they need to aspire to high levels of team sport.

Maximum Speed Training

Maximum speed sprinting is often an overlooked component for most athletes, especially if there position doesn’t require much linear sprinting. But improving maximum speed will actually elevate an athletes overall quickness. The Parisi program unleashes the most learnable movement skill exercises that ensure every athlete to have breakthroughs with his or her speed.


Acceleration Training

Probably the most important aspect of every sport, the Parisi program lays out step by step how to maximize an athlete’s acceleration. Proper joint angles and ground force application is taught so that every athlete will understand how to continually develop and refine these newly learned skills throughout his or her career.


Change of Direction Training

Improving ones sense of balance along with strength is a big part of enhancing an athletes’ Change of Direction. The other major component is knowing how to position each joint to maximally apply force into the ground in the most effective direction. This is a skill that is acquired over time with practice. Just as a martial artist never knows what his opponent will do next, the athlete must be trained in a similar way to respond and change direction quickly.
