The majority of us have trained at some point in our lives. Odds are that if you have ever taken your training seriously you may have used a training journal.
No matter if you are training casually for fitness and recreation or if you are earnestly involved in speed and agility training, you can benefit from maintaining a journal of this sort.
The major difference between training journals and training logs, is what you write down in them following each workout session. Training journals are just that. They are more of a journal rather than a log. They will typically consist of things like your mental outlook at the time and how you felt over the course of the day or during your workout. You may want to include information about climatic conditions, training location, workout partners, and things of that kind. They can reach a bit into some statistical information but this is normally kept for a training record.

I would heartily recommend giving the agility ladder a prominent place in your speed and agility training program. Improving agility and footwork can yield the additional benefit of reducing injuries by improving control over the center of gravity while in motion. It is often a mistake to assume that a promising athlete has mastered basic movement abilities. Acquiring complex movement skills requires a focused, well planned progressive program that integrates upper, middle, and lower body mechanics. Using the agility ladder can help accomplish all of this in a comparatively fun and easy part of the training program.
Athletes universally enjoy speed and agility training with an agility ladder. Results come naturally and the skills are easily identified on the field of play.
Jumping rope is a traditional exercise for endurance, speed and agility training.
