About this video
Dale Baskett's football speed development set for running backs and defensive backs is two complete drill sessions in one purchase. Football speed is not straight-line sprinting: on virtually every carry a running back accelerates, decelerates, plants, lateral slides and changes direction, and a defensive back does all of that while mirroring a receiver who is changing direction in front of him. Coach Baskett's drills teach athletes to do it without losing velocity.

Frequently asked questions
What is in the Running Backs and Defensive Backs speed set?
Two videos: six running back drills (lateral slide plants, direction change, plant-to-slide, multi-direction change, change of pace weave, extension plant) and six defensive back drills (back pedal technique, angle breaks, lateral to switch, back pedal to lateral and back pedal weave), plus Dale Baskett's Foundations of Football Speed bonus section.
What level are the drills for?
They are on-field drills with coaching points that high school and college position coaches can run right away; the movements are the same at any level.
How do I stream a two-video set?
The set is a Buy Now, Watch Now purchase: $19.95 puts both sessions in your AFM Videos account instantly, on any device, with unlimited views. Both are also included in the 1-Year All Access membership ($99/year) that streams the entire library.
What does "football speed" mean in Baskett's system?
Movement speed on the field rather than a 40-yard time: accelerating, decelerating, planting, sliding laterally and changing direction while keeping velocity, which is what running backs and defensive backs actually do on every snap.
