For an athlete looking to increase his or her speed, it may not be immediately evident as to exactly why agility training is important. They may have seen other athletes leaping around cones or hopping through agility ladders and dismissed this training as unnecessary for their program.  The best athletes, however, must be both fast and quick and must train in both of these areas. The ability to stop, stabilize, change direction and re-accelerate while maintaining balance, proper posture and full muscular control is the essence of agility and the essence of the effective footwork, balance, coordination and timing that well-trained athletes make look so effortless.  Agility training as a discipline is absolutely unparalleled for improving foot speed, quickness, acceleration, speed changes, deceleration, directional change and reaction time. Additionally, it enhances neuromuscular control, dynamic flexibility, and functional core strength. Beyond performance benefits, increased agility also helps to prevent injuries by improving musculoskeletal control and proper body mechanics.
