Didn't see this addressed previously, so I apologize if I'm stepping on toes...
Core means more than abs. Core includes lower back and I think pelvis and hips, too. It's not just about speed. A solid core leads to better stability and stamina. I do agree that you should not ignore it, but there's more to it than crunches and situps.
One of the best core exercises I've found is the leg raise on a power tower (not sure what it's actually called...). Also, work involving a balance ball is never a bad idea.
