  • Pure Speed – The ability to overcome the distance between two points in the shortest amount of time.
  • Technical Speed – the ability to control and manipulate the ball with the body, legs or feet at speed.
  • Speed of Action – processing information from the game and choosing an appropriate response quickly to the situation.
  • Mental Speed – ability of the player to be aware of all factors, conditions and options inside and outside of the game (opponents, teammates, crowd, etc.)
