In the 2011 edition of
Perform Better's Functional Training Catalog, the director of the
Parisi Speed School was featured in their "Ask the Expert" section. Although specific topic was "Speed & Agility Training", he still emphasizes the benefits of "going bare".
"Over the years, I have lowered the distances of my speed training. Since many sports are played in a 5 to 10 yard box, I focus much of my speed and agility work over those distances. This change has been complemented with my barefoot training.
I used to think the shoe on the foot was critical to performance, but now I know it is the foot in the shoe. I perform much of my speed and agility work barefooted to improve proprioception, balance and lower limb strength."
