Improvements in 40 times and quickness?

How much of an improvement can be made with collegic coaching in both areas? Would it be a noticeable difference?

Moffit will shave a full second off each recruit’s 40 time.

I dont think you've ever run a 40 if your serious. Lol

Typically 40 times actually take a small dip. Most kids pack on muscle in college.

Actually since most highschool kids times are not all that accurate by the time they get to the combine this prob is true.

You're either fast or you're not, track man

Depends on advanced your high school is.One with lots of resources has probably has a kid performing at their max.A kid from a smaller school probably hasn’t reached their potential.

Everyone knows that every kid runs a 4.3 "laser timed" 40 in high school and runs .2 slower at the combine as they get older.

True, but a big part of 40 times is technique, which most guys aren't taught until they begin preparing for the combine. They don't really get faster, but their times improve with proper technique.

If the goal is to improve 40 time then spend a season on the track team to learn technique, especially starting technique. This really doesn't translate into football though. 40 times are important but what is equally important is change in direction fluidity usually referred to as "hips". When an athlete has a good 40 time and "great hips" you have a good combination. If you have a good 40 time (4.5), great hips, good strength, high football IQ and off the chart anticipation skills you have the makings of the Honey Badger. The point is, the 40 time is important but it has to be taken in the context of all the player's other attributes.

I just just used the 40 for a reference, but I mean speed on the field.
I was a big dude and ran a 4.6, for my size I was very fast but not very quick, so I could get in the backfield but typically overran or was out maneuvered and it was all for not.
But I went to Riverside and how to run efficiently and how to improve my running was never taught and the fact that we ate what we wanted and when we wanted probably never helped the situation.

This is why it's important for the coaches to coach that fact that it's better for the D lineman when in this situation to breakdown and contain. Breaking down and containing at least gives you a chance to bat a ball down or allow another DL teammate to make the tackle. But overrunning the play and losing contain gives you zero chance.

Hence the reason I track submarines vice chase QB's. LOL

10%. Depends on the fast twitch muscle composition

Moffitt's S&C program has been left far behind by other schools. Bama dominates our Oline every single year. I mean, they manhandled us...Quinnen Williams was straight throwing our Oline around like ragdolls. Same for Gerald Willis at Florida, etc.
