Balance

Training for Speed, Agility, and Quickness is by far my favorite SAQ (Speed, Agility, and Quickness) resource anywhere.

Also known as leg swings and leg extensions, the straight leg kick is one of the most under-utilized dynamic stretching exercises.

Balance reaches are a common exercise for basketball players and even golfers. They can also be useful for soccer players, as they help develop the leg strength and jumping ability that can be crucial during physical play or for winning flighted balls.

An effective, yet under used exercise that helps to improve balance and speed, and does absolute wonders for agility and coordination is the carioca (sometimes mis-pronounced “karaokes”).

What are some thing I can do inside my house to improve my balance, speed, and skill?
