Hello De'Undre

Normally, I don't speak on the diet of an athlete because I am not a nutritionist. But here we go....

Well, If you eat big portions during a meal, cut those portions in half. If you drink a lot of soda, cut that out of your diet. Get in plenty of cardio work. As far as your speed, well sprinting up a hill helps bring strength to your push off. Which helps add speed. Wind sprints with a parachute will really help.
