But jumping back to the earlier point, 100m speed isn't that important, it's speed off the mark that is key. If you can get going quickly and beat someone over 2 to 5 yards then that puts you in great stead for football. I used to be relatively fast over 50 - 100m, but unfortunately never had that real instant pace that makes so much difference in the game. Used to play with one lad who because he worked shifts could only play 2 out of 3 Saturdays. To look at him he didn't look in real shape, he had a slight paunch. He had two things though that singled him out he was a whippet over 2 yards and needed no back lift to really smack a ball. Both seasons he played for us we finished lower half of the league and he only played 2 out of 3 games for us, but he was the leading scorer in the league. 2 paces to make space and shoot, he was unbelievable! Anything over about 10 or 15m I would have left him standing but that wasn't important, somehow he hit top speed in 2 steps. That sets you apart. On a final point Henry would sprint and then seem to have a turbo that kicked in to move him past players, that was very impressive too. |
