One of the key factors to be competitive in modern sport is having the foot speed and reflexes required to out manoeuvre your opposition.  There are many different exercises you can perform to improve your foot speed but most rely on an agility ladder to help lay down the platform.

An agility ladder is simple a rope ladder that gets rolled out along the ground and you perform different routines shifting your feet to different gaps in the ladder.  By taking short and random steps you gain more control over your leg muscles which leads to faster changes of movement out of the field.

Agility ladders are widely used in professional training sessions and are one of the most accessible tools you can have to take an advantage over your opponent.
