We want to first go over what exactly are training splits and what a training split even means so that we can give the means to implement the best training splits....

Ground contact is crucial when running, whether covering long distances, sprinting, or making quick directional changes on the field. Each step involves your feet hitting the ground, where the lower limb muscles absorb impact and then contract to propel you forward. The calf muscles, including the often-overlooked soleus, play a key role in this elastic energy return and are vital for running endurance and speed.

Training the calf muscles, particularly the soleus, can significantly improve running efficiency, speed, and endurance. Unlike the gastrocnemius, which is more involved in explosive movements, the soleus provides the endurance needed for sustained activities like distance running and helps stabilize the ankle for efficient push-off and smooth strides.

Nearly every coach, scout, and teammate in the sport of football has one question when it comes to speed—how fast is your 40?

The 40-yard dash isn't just another drill; it's the gold standard for measuring speed in football. It’s the difference between being a prospect who catches the eye of scouts and one who’s overlooked. A mere fraction of a second can separate a good performance from an outstanding one, potentially altering the trajectory of an athlete's career. For players, it’s more than just a test—it’s a moment that can define their athletic prowess and open doors to higher levels of play.
