🍂 FALL TRAINING STARTS AUGUST 24!
If your athlete wants to get faster, stronger, and more explosive for their sport, come train with us at TipTop.
Acceleration isn’t just about moving your feet faster, it’s about producing more force into the ground with every step.
Resisted sprints help athletes:
✅ Develop stronger first-step acceleration
✅ Learn proper sprint body angles
✅ Improve force production
✅ Build powerful, sport-specific movement mechanics
Once the resistance comes off, athletes get the opportunity to transfer those improved mechanics into faster, more explosive sprinting.
This is why resisted sprints are a staple in so many of our sessions. Whether you’re a tennis player chasing down every ball, a basketball player creating separation, or an athlete in any sport that requires speed, learning how to accelerate efficiently is a game changer.
At TipTop, we’re not just trying to make athletes tired—we’re teaching them how to move better. That’s what creates long-term athletic development.
🏃♂️ Train with purpose.
⚡️ Build speed the right way.
