[quote=Anonymous]Speed is important, I think it's interesting my DD, is playing basketball she is always at the back of the pack on "super girls" and down and backs, but when they do lateral slides to half court first, she is first. Beating even the girls with elite track pedigrees. No getting around her. The point is that straight line speed under optimal conditions doesn't necessarily translate into lateral speed, agile cornering, jumping etc. Layer on that for most other sports except maybe soccer (probably even soccer if you want to win a 50/50), you'll need to develop some upper body, which negatively impacts speed. My DD is a beast on the boards, because she swims and built an upper body. [/quote]
