My son has always been the fastest kid on the team, but he never scored a TD until he learned to run full speed at the hole and make it happen. As long as he studder steps he will not be successful consistantly. My best running back is the 5th fastest guy on the team.... full speed after one step and he hits the hole or takes wide, but never any hesitation. I took my son to some High School practices and it helped him to understand. hope this helps
