Why athletes stall

You can't improve what you can't measure

It is hard when an athlete misses the mark. A slow start, a step lost in the third quarter, a season that never gets going. Telling them to train harder does not tell you which part is holding them back.

Most young athletes follow a skills program that rehearses game movements without ever building the athleticism underneath them. Nothing gets tested, so nothing gets targeted.

The athletes who look elite are simply more complete athletes on a program that tracks their progress and adapts as they improve. That is the whole job here.

The Speed Acad process

Three parts, in this order

  1. Strength & Conditioning

    Build the base: absolute strength, power and the conditioning to hold form when a race or a game gets long.

  2. Speed & Agility

    Acceleration, sprint mechanics, top end speed, deceleration and change of direction, coached rep by rep.

  3. Skill Set

    Put the athleticism back into the sport, so the work shows up on the track, the field and the court.
