Introducing acceleration development early in the fall gives athletes ample time to develop the qualities that ultimately lead to higher levels of speed.
Max velocity doesn’t exist independently of acceleration. The quality of an athlete’s max-velocity sprinting is directly connected to what happens during the acceleration phase:
1. Projection — effectively directing force to accelerate the body forward.
2. Rhythm — progressively organizing stride frequency and stride length as velocity increases.
3. Rise — gradually transitioning from the projected acceleration posture into upright max-velocity sprinting.
Developing these qualities takes time. That’s why we introduce acceleration early—building the strength, power, mechanics, and movement patterns that create the foundation for quality speed development later.
Acceleration → Projection • Rhythm • Rise → Max Velocity
If getting faster is part of the goal, now is the time to start.
