Take care of fundamentals and speed will take care of itself
February 19th, 2023
It’s easy to get obsessed with speed.
We would chase after this fad or that fad, practice this exercise or that exercise, believing it will get us to speed heaven.
But speed is a direct outcome of good technique and fundamentals.
If you have strong fundamentals, speed will naturally result.
For instance;
If you’re light, you can move faster.
If you have less to do, you can get it done quicker.
If you have less distance to cover, you can get there faster.
Take care of your fundamentals and speed will take care of itself.
