Everybody always wishes they were a little faster. Better Acceleration, quicker cuts, and just a more powerful athlete. If you've
got at least 6 weeks to dedicate to yourself to improving, consider the
acceleration training programs presented in a study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
Female soccer athletes engaged in 6 weeks of standard treadmill running
or high-speed treadmill work that incorporated a body weight support
system. A control group continued on with regular soccer training. After
12 sessions, both treadmill groups could run a 40-yard dash much faster
than subjects in the control group.
Although those running on a standard treadmill built up the greatest
degree knee flexor strength, they suffered a much higher rate of shin
splints and foot pain compared to either of the other groups. Since 66%
of players running the standard treadmill ended up hurting, you might
want to consider a different type of acceleration training if your Gym doesn't have state-of-the-art equipment.
