You know or you think? How can you be sure your final sprint power wasn't limited by lack of aerobic power which prevented you from expressing your full maximum power? Similarly, how do you evaluate the contribution of anaerobic power to sucess or failure in that final kick? Without a power meter all you have is the final result, you're just guessing the cause. Improved NP power might be the last thing you need to work on.
