The gamespeed system provides a progressive structure via which movements are developed, honed, and then assembled into quality-movement patterns that transfer directly to enhanced sports performance. These developments are based on the latest research from the domains of neurology and skill acquisition, ensuring that the optimal conditions for skill enhancement are provided. Throughout this book, the objective, at all times, is to make the athlete a better on-field player, and not simply help him to perform drills and tests more effectively. To this end, the gamespeed system addresses key aspects of performance not covered within the majority of speed and agility systems such as perception and cognitive processing, ensuring that the athlete is optimally prepared to perform in their sport. In short, Gamespeed provides athletes and coaches with a system that maximizes performance in all sports, and is the future of movement training. It will not only provide athletes with increased speed and agility, but, more importantly, with the ability to use these tools effectively in each and every game.
