"Hi! I'm Windell Yancy with Basic Training Skills here with my partner Curtis Jackson for Expert Village. We are here to talk to you about speed, agility, power and quickness. Just a reminder that any of the drills you see done today, make sure you have a professional to help you with any of these drills. Don't try to do these at own your own.
