Brower Timing systems - through CRESS Sport in France
I’ve been wanting these since I arrived in France and now that we’ve got them they’re going to be in use often.
I think having speed gates will allow us to better quantify our gains in the gym and really know the effects of our training on acceleration. We’ve been using the vertical jump and standing long jump regularly but I’m sure speed gates are going to give us a new level of detail at the Catalans Dragons.
We had them in action for the first time today, they certainly add something to the session. You always want to do just one more!
I’ve been watching Joe DeFranco time and get great results with his guys over in New Jersey. Now I’ve got another tool to put my guys to the test.
Here’s me in action. It looks and sounds like a mess so I guess that’s where I’m at for now! Non-slip flooring will make a difference too!
How are you measuring your speed training success?
