Speed Kills – For any of us who have watched sports, we are all familiar with the phrase commonly muttered by the announcer, “speed kills.”

Usually we hear this during a football game after a wide receiver has burned the corner back to catch a long touchdown pass.

So what does this expression mean? Speed kills means speed kills the opposition or defeats the opposition.

The general public has always thought speed is naturally obtained and cannot be improved. If this is true then why would every college football team and NFL football team hire trainers to focus specifically on speed and agility?

The answer is because SPEED KILLS. The more a player can improve his explosive starts and speed, the more he will beat his opponent.
