What can I do to have a faster first step in sports?

In order to become fast from the moment you make your first stride, you will need to train fast, and also work on explosive drills.  You will definitely want to do sprinting drills around three times a week, and involve some plyometrics.  Plyometrics are great for your central nervous system, and teaching your nervous system to fire all at once will definitely help you to have a quicker first step.  Plyometrics will also help you jump higher too.  Some quick foot drills will also help you with getting faster out of the blocks.  If you want to be fast, then do fast speed workouts.
