The importance of speed
Football has become faster in every aspect
The game is played at a higher pace than ever. Players have less time on the ball, and a fraction of a second decides who wins the duel, reaches the ball first or scores the goal.
But speed is more than running fast. It is reacting first, anticipating the next move, being in the right position and thinking quicker than your opponent. With over 30 years of coaching experience, we train every part of it.

Feedback
What players and coaches say
We at IFK Göteborg are convinced that speed is one of the most important skills that the players in our academy must develop. We are working with the Tanner Speed concept from U11 up to U19.
Tanner Speed has got a well-developed system that's very professional. I am impressed and I will have more sessions with Carsten.
The concept of Tanner Speed is an essential part of the speed training at the Hannover 96 academy. With it, the academy players learn efficient movement patterns in a common, structured and game-oriented way.
The golden age for learning coordination and speed is when kids are 10–11 years old. An excellent concept to improve these skills is Tanner Speed.
