What's up? And it's Steve, great question. What's the best way to build a high school athlete speed for me? Creating a foundational strength. Is the most important thing for me to get the kids started in the first place because usually when High School coaches prepare the athletes they are they're really not they're not strong enough through their core and their basic strength, their body strength and body awareness yet. So that when we're asking them for their speed and Technical work, their body is not really prepared yet to, To apply like Sprint technique and some of the high-end technical things that are necessary for improving speed. So my first thing would be to increase the strength level of the athlete which is just pure athleticism, whether it's Plyometrics, whether it's body way, whether it's the push-ups sit-ups, ABS core, I kind of implement like gymnastics cartwheels front rolls all that stuff. So you have body awareness so that when I An athlete to perform, the technical things, like arm arm, swing knee drive, all those things, hip flexors. All those things I asked athlete to do, they're capable of actually making those adjustments and they do not get frustrated when they are not able to process that stuff when they're trying to Sprint. And usually kids get really frustrated because you're asking them to do something and their bodies. Just simply is not prepared yet. To do it, it's not that they're not capable of doing it. It's the fact that they have not built there, there's their foundational strength quite yet, and I think that would be my main thing is to help increase their, their, their body strength, their foundational strength. And then once you were able to add their technical process of their, their body mechanics that will live with them for the rest of their lives. And I think that will be my first thing. It will help increase high school kids speed that and flexibility as well. Have a good one.
