@JerkStoreManagr Thank you for bestowing this wisdom upon me!

@BrendanThompsn I like sand in the early offseason to strengthen the ankle complex While understanding that the force output in these sessions will not equate to increased speed,I find value in the potential increased ankle stiffness, leading to potentially greater speed later in the macrocycle

@CoachJakeAAllen Not saying sand training is inherently bad, just that it’s not the speed / agility hack that it’s made out to be.

@BrendanThompsn Not that doing work in the sand isn’t without merit… just not speed work.

@ParkviewTrack Agreed

@BrendanThompsn Who still says this?

@timkettenring Says what? That speed / agility training in the sand is elite?

@BrendanThompsn Sure it is… sick highlight for IG

@CoachDJBrock True…

@BrendanThompsn I agree. Videos like this may give the wrong impression:

@JimG_Patriots 💯 agree

@BrendanThompsn How else should I get better at beach volleyball then…? 👀

@fitnessbyaf The post has nothing to do with beach volleyball 😅 Keep on keepin’ on!

@BrendanThompsn I convinced there’s no way to train speed in sand. You know where I am from. The state of Hawaii is well behind the rest, speed included.

@BrendanThompsn It's a damn fine way to roll some ankles though.

@BrendanThompsn I have kids that ask for us to run dunes. To much risk for too little reward in my opinion.

@BrendanThompsn It's getting sand in my shoes.

@BrendanThompsn Whenever i think about athletes in the sand my mind always goes to robert edwards.

@BrendanThompsn Smoothes the soles of the feet like nothing else tho
