https://www.stack.com/a/why-christian-mccaffrey-is-training-like-a-track-athlete-this-offseason
I'm on my phone, so I can't/won't post the whole article. If someone else could, that would be cool. The gist it's that Christian McCaffery is training like a track athlete in order to increase his speed. He things it's working.
Apparently there's a whole profession, "track coach", and business, probably several, around teaching speed. Okay, that's my sarcastic part for all those times I've heard "you can't teach speed".
The serious part is, I wonder how much speed gain he's getting and how much you can expect the average less explosive athlete to get. Maybe it's possible to take a risk on some "too slow" guys and throw them in such a program to teach them speed.
