I am a junior tailback running 4.5. My friend just completed a program and went from a 4.6 to a 4.4. He is now being recruited by everyone. He is 6'3'' 215. I am really considering something ...

His program is called:

My coach thinks I can go D-1 for sure if I run a 4.4 at the combine or football camps. What is the best thing to do before these events? I heard strength shoes aren't too good and I don't have money for a sled. Also, do chutes really work?

Thanks so much.

In this Speed Forum there is a topic called “How To Improve Running Speed For The 40-Yard Dash”. This is the program I use when I personal train athletes in the off-season. I recommend that you follow this program.
Some common weaknesses are in the core and the hips. The low back, abs and hip abductors are always underdeveloped.

If you are running a 4.5 you are fast. Depending on where your weaknesses and strengths are in the race, this is where you should focus. Get your times for the 10, 20 and 40-yard splits to find your weaknesses in the race. Here are some ways to improve your time:

· Plyometrics
· Weight training
· Flexibility
· Acceleration mechanics
· Nutrition

Chutes, cables and all of the above work with the proper coaching and consistency. Use all resources available to you.

Tips to a faster 40:

1.
Set up as close to the line as possible
2.
Take a huge first step
3.
Take the least amount of step possible through the first ten yards
4.
Work on arm action
5.
Strengthen the lower body
6.
Work on extra sessions of flexibility
7.
Be prepared for the worst and work through it
