APX Performance Lab

Ever feel like you’re working hard but going nowhere fast on the pitch? It’s your angle, not your effort.

When you’re upright, you’re basically fighting gravity, not using it. Your legs work overtime but you don’t get that explosive first step.

Fix that angle and everything changes: more force drives into the ground, more speed explodes out of every step.

This is what we work on inside every APX session🔥

Your start position is slowing you down.

Most young players stand too tall out of the blocks — rushed, upright, nothing loaded behind that first step. APX athletes drop into a low, resisted position first, so every ounce of force drives forward instead of leaking upward.

That’s the difference between a slow start and an explosive one.

The hidden link between bounds and your speed.

That exaggerated step in your bounds drill isn’t just for show — it’s teaching your body to hit the ground with a high knee and drive faster into the next step.

Carry that same shape into your sprint and your first step gets quicker, automatically.

Standing tall is killing your first step.

If you’re upright when you need to change direction, you’ve already lost the fraction of a second that beats a defender. Getting low and dropping your hips loads your body to push out explosively — that’s what actually creates separation.

Most players never fix this because it looks like a small detail. It isn’t.

Your kid’s knee drive is leaking power.

Most young athletes lose speed before they ever hit top-end sprint — it happens right at the hip. Without enough hip depth, the knee can’t drive high enough to load the next stride properly, so force leaks out instead of transferring forward.

Fix the depth, and the whole chain — hip, knee, arm — starts working together instead of against itself.

The missing piece in your sprint drive.

It’s not the push-off. Most young players focus everything on driving forward — but APX trains the full extension behind you, hip through ankle, before the leg resets. That back half of the stride is where the real speed gets built.

Miss it, and you’re only training half the motion.
