wow, you gotta be amazing if you took the PG spot and are slow. Here are some things to make you faster. Run long distance suchas 3 mile runs. Also in those runs (as another workout) do fartliks which are running like sprints then jogging the sprinting etc. Also stretch alot and do leg workouts in the weight room. A good sprinting workout on the court are doing up downs (up and down, up and down) under 22 seconds you should be working to. Im one of the fastet on my team and can do 5 laps up and down isa bout 20 seconds. Good luck!

The best way to get faster? Run\nThe best way to improve in soccer? Play and watch soccer.\n\nTrainning is the key, trust me. In two years I went from nothing to a good goalkeeper, and after two years without trainning, I'm crappy

Do half mile and mile repeats fast enough to where when you get the end you don't feel like you can go faster.   \nYou could do any combination of: \nfast 1 mile\n5 minute rest\nfast 1 mile\n5 minute rest\nfast half mile\n5 minute rest\nfast half mile\n\n\nThis will help build your speed.  Do this 2 or 3 times a week.  Also 1 or 2 times a week you should build up your endurance by running a moderate paced 3-5 miles or more if your up to it.  And if you have the time 1 day a week you should run hill repeats.  Hills are great at strengthening your legs which can make you faster!

Get one of those pitchback net things and practice throwing inside the square and work on your control first and then you can add some speed.

Longhorn10 has some good suggestions but the thing is you won't change much if you're age 25 and up. The drastic change (in seconds) only occur to the people who are age 17 and under. So if you're active when you're young then you should be very fast. If not, you have to deal with your slowness. However, you can improve your endurance and stamina. It's very imporant for sports such as soccer, though that's a different story.\n\nHope this helps,\nUltimeaciax

If you are running a fixed distance the only way you can get a better time is to run faster.  You are stuck with the equation that time equals distance divided by speed.  So, whatever you can do to increase your speed will lower the time it takes.

speed drills, dribbling drills, and passing drills.\n\nspeed drills - you run a lot so you get used to the speed that your legs give you and you won't get tired easily in the game. run around the basketball court maybe minimum 5 times and your running speed will increase and gradually become easier for you. Oh and suicides are good too. (If you don't know what that is..its kinda complicated to explain because i've never explain it before...so you'll figure it out or look it up)\n\ndribbling drills (this may help you a lot) -  take the basketball, starting it in your strongest hand and dribble down the court without losing it until you reach the baseline at the other end. then pivet and crossover it to your opposite hand and repeat what you just did. you can also do that by dribbling with your strongest then crossovering it to your weakest around the b-ball court running or walking. \n\ncrossover drills - well, lets say your strongest hand is your right. start out dribbling to up diagonal right. take about three steps and then crossover to your left and go up diagonal left and take another three steps then crossover it to your right and continue the procedure. that'll help your crossover passes hopefully :]\n\npassing drills - just get a buddy and stand a distance away from them then either bounce pass, overhead pass, chest pass, and any other ways of passing to them. You can do that standing still at first. Then, you stand at the left or right side of the b-ball court and your friend stands at the left or right. then, if you or your friend has the ball, you begin running sideways down the court bounce passing it, chest passing it, overhead passing it, etc. all the way until you reach the end of the base line and do that again on your way back switching sides if you please.\n\nHope that helps! Sorry, i had to get that all from memory of the kind of practices/drills that I practice. :]

Do uphill biking exercises, this will improve not only your jumping ability but also your quick step acceleration.  By attacking uphill on my bike, I was able to jump about 6" higher and my speed was mostly unmatched on most courts I've walked on to.  You want to do 1-2 hour uphill biking for about 3 or 4 times a week.  You'll definitely see an improvement in your ups.  \n\nA side note: To dunk a ball, you've also got to be able to get a good grip the ball.  Its much harder to dunk if you can't palm the ball.  Dunking takes a lot of energy, I find that layups are just as effective even though it isn't as flashy, but you'll stay in the game for much longer.

obviously your times must be in 25 yards pools,  pretty good times,  how old are you?\ntape yourself and analize your start, turns and finish,  you must improve small details in your swimming and there you will find some preciuos hundreths of a seconds,  improve those.\nsecond verify with your cosch your swimming mechanics by taping your swim underwater such as your pull technique, breathing pattern etc again details...\ngetting into specifics of trainig you must ask your coach by the times you are doing you are pretty fast already, i believe the improvement at your level must come from the little details i ponted out,  the rest is plain hard work physicallywise.

You already know the answer, practice. Don't worry about being last. The more you practice the better you will become. Set small goals for yourself and slowly build up to bigger ones. Work hard diet right and the improvements will come. Talk to your coach and see what you can do to improve your stroke.\nA specific drill that I have my team work on to improve endurance is to take less breaths during practice. Assuming you are swimming freestyle, take a breath every 3rd stroke, then work up to every 5th stroke, then 7th and so on. This is tiring but it helps to build endurance. When swimming concentrate on your body position and stroke. As you take less breaths your body will be in a more streamline position longer. Work on keeping it hydrodynamic. Then when you swim normally you should have enough oxygen, more endurance and a streamline body to improve your times.

Try track workouts or telephone poles.\n\nSplit the distance into chunks and alternate 60% max speed, 75%, 100%, 60%, 75%, 100%.\n\nTry ending the workout with a walk of the same distance.\nYou can also lift weights to increase your sprinting strength.

just push yourself, try to get as close or faster than 1:15 everyday.. that way you know how fast it is, and your body adjusts to it. Then when you get to the 1:15 pace lane dont just make the pace.. try to see how much rest you can get.. and you'll get better

Running or biking to build endurance and short sprints to build speed. If you go on the usta.com and click high performance there is a link to exercises to build speed. Also push ups and sit ups are great and just use your own body weight to build muscle.

Try running. Long distance will build more endurance while sprints will allow you to move quickly on the court. Try toning up a little, but use only your body weight: do push ups, pull up, leg raises, lunges, squats and sit ups. Emphasize on the sit ups and leg raises because a strong core is key.

When I played football I was really slow. During one summer I some exercises that took over a second off my 40yrd dash.\nRun 10 40 yard dashes foreword\nRun 10 40 yards dashes backwards\nRun sprints down hill.\nThe last one did a lot of good. \nDo this at least 4 imes a week.\nThese suggestions may sound silly but I promise they worked for me.

Invest in some new bearings.. they will last you a while, and it will make it easier to maintain speed.If you have some extra cash, try bones swiss.expensive as heck, but worth every cent!!

Doing curls or dips won't necessarily improve the speed of your ball.  Concentrate on the mechanics of pitching.  Good mechanics will help with the velocity of the pitch.  Lifting weights is very important for pitchers but having big arms won't make you throw harder.  Lift light when doing arms but concentrate on your legs and your mid-section.  Long toss is also a big help.  One more thing, make sure you stretch after you lift to make sure you don't lose flexibility
