try to train your legs.. ie do a lot of footwork drills and weight lifting with them.. this should help get a "spring" in them.. aside from the footwork drills, you should do some sprints up a small hill, and running for distance and time..

[MontclairLax]

Also sprint down hill. After a while it increases your stride length by muscle memory.

[Trilax03]

also if u don't want to go out for a run ie if it's raining or crappy out, then jumping rope is a very good way to get/stay in shape...different forms or techniques of sprinting, running, jogging will all help u out as well...protein is a good way to build muscle if that's wut ur looking for

[chops23]

Jump rope is very good for footwork, but distance running wont improve your game that much, short sprints will give you much more agility and your change of direction will be much much better, try doing suicides, also up and down hill running is good, timed running is ok, but it wont help anything but endurace, you should mainly do it in the off season

[jackattack]

distance, then sprint


since distance can only keep your body n cardio vacular shape, sprinting will help u develope explovise muscles and keep u in the game longer. distance running can only do so much

[RockfordAttack9]

Dont run too much long distance, run short sprints more.

[AusLax234]

how do u practise for sprints?

[johncrief]

Dont run too much long distance, run short sprints more.


while it's true that distance running won't do a thing for you fast twitch muscle fibers (your sprinting/stop-and-starting muscles), it will absolutely train your cardio system and stamina. Try doing interval runs, for example: if you mark off a circle or can get on a quarter-mile track, warm up and then do however many laps of jogging the curves, sprinting the straight-aways, and then switch it up.
