How can i become a faster sprinter? (football speed)?

Question by Tripp: How can i become a faster sprinter? (football speed)?
I want to become faster. Not as in long distance, but more explosive, such as being fast in the 40 or 50 yard dash. I played WR in football last year, and i think one reason i didnt play that much was because of my speed. I'm looking to switch to HB. I ran a 5.6 forty during my freshman year (now a sophomore) and i tried the 2 week challenge from athleticquickness.com. I'm not sure if it had any affect, but i have gotten my forty down to a 4.9 at best. My average is about 5.1. Im not sure if it was from athleticquickness.com or just my body maturing. Im thinking about buying thier "run faster with isometric training" book for , but im not sure if it is a scam or not. I have been running about 5 forty yard dashes per day, and doing some quick 10-20 yard sprints. also some agility drills with cones and speed hurdles like high knees. I was wondering if anyone has tried the athleticquickness.com method and if it really works. if u havent tried it, look it up and tell me what you think of the training method. also some drills for speed and agility for football if anyone knows any. i also squat alot and do weight training. speed exercises please!!!

How many times have you run a forty to have an average? I never heard of a team doing that more then twice a season and in summer practice. Do you know how many kids come on here who run a 4.9 forty, less than a five but not too much not o be believable? If you were really on a team, you'd have a coach who'd answer this question for you.
