Coach Tevin Mclaughlin
Founder & head coach
Tevin moved to Central Florida from Jamaica with his family and built Speed Academy into a program that does more than train athletes. Alongside speed and strength work, the academy runs workshops on getting to college and setting goals that hold up after the season ends.
Speed Academy also operates as a nonprofit youth development organization in Sanford, and the work was featured by News 6 in Orlando.
