How to Train Agility
I get asked at least once a week “what should I do for agility training?” In my opinion the best way to train for agility is to get stronger in the gym, particularly focusing on single leg and eccentric strength. Agility is how quickly you switch from an eccentric to concentric contraction. To improve this you need to be able to apply force into the ground and accelerate away from a defender. This is why having a solid strength foundation is so important.
