MOST SPEED SPECIALISTS TRAIN TEAM-SPORT ATHLETES LIKE TRACK AND FIELD SPRINTERS. IT'S NOT SURPRISING IT RARELY YIELDS THE DESIRED OUTCOME…
The truth is track athletes and team sport athletes are not the same and their speed training should reinforce the fact.
But most ‘speed’ coaches train you more like a specialist sprinter, forgetting that team sport athletes require a vastly different skill set to track athletes — they have to be good at everything, not just running on the track out of the blocks.
That’s why most speed training doesn’t work for team sport athletes — it simply doesn’t account for all the different physical attributes you need to develop at the same time to become an elite athlete. In fact, training speed in a team sport environment is often neglected, when it is implemented it is poorly managed and not completely understood.
Because of this gap in knowledge, the most ‘fancy’ speed training is often what gets the attention. Gimmicky cone drills, quick-feet through agility ladders and technical drills that look good on social media are what most athletes spend time doing… Even though this has no transfer to your sport and will not turn you into a speed machine on the field.
To develop the gift of speed, you need to understand the integrated 3-phase system for speed development that most speed coaches won’t tell you or do not understand themselves.
THE QUESTION IS;
CAN IT REALLY BE TRAINED?
You heard speed is genetics and can’t be trained?
While this may be true to an extent. You may not ever be “fast”, BUT we can definitely train speed to make you faster!
While we can not deny genetics are a major determining factor of speed, I’ve also worked with and seen athletes who were never known for speed improve an extra couple of meters in their sprint and as they say, sport is a game of inches, those extra meters they gain can make a huge impact and can make them a dominant force on the field where it matters.
And that’s the point — if you’re already a speed machine, you’re probably not looking for ways to get faster, which is also a mistake. Speed machines can be upgraded as well. This is for the guys and girls who want to be more like one. Our program helps you get the most out of your genetic potential by giving you the best preparation possible. To give you the best chance of success.
We take the genetics that are out of our control and find a way to improve your overall athleticism and reach your potential with targeted training because we’ve proven over and over again that the gift of speed doesn’t only come down to the genetic lottery. Speed can be built; not just born.
