Many people have the misconception that speed is something a person either has or does not have. Yes, some people just seem naturally faster, but quick first steps, lateral quickness, and lateral speed and strength can be trained.

Even if you are the basketball player on the team with the most speed to run up and down the court, moving side to side may not be your expertise. If you want to improve your ability to defend then you have to have muscles that react and contract with each movement as fast as possible. Myosource Kinetic Bands are an easy tool to add to your lateral speed and quickness drills that will cause your muscles to contract and react in each movement.
