In this video, Vern Gambetta discusses some great points regarding game speed.
Vern Gambetta has trained athletes of many sports including basketball where he worked for the Chicago Bulls with the legendary athletic development coach, Al Vermeil.
As Gambetta says in the video, game speed is not track speed. Game speed is the ability to take your speed and apply it to the game which involves spatial awareness and decision-making.
Gambetta says some of the precursors to game speed are:
Hip Mobility
Ankle Mobility
Leg Strength
Stop and Start
