Does playing a sport automatically make an athlete faster?

It seems like it should.

Soccer players run throughout practice and games. Basketball players sprint up and down the court. Field hockey players cover a lot of ground.

But running during a sport and training specifically to improve speed aren't necessarily the same thing.

I've been putting that question to the test.

I've had the opportunity to pre- and post-test athletes from a few team sports to see whether they're actually faster at the end of their season than they were at the beginning.

The first year, the results were what I suspected:

The majority of the athletes were slower by the end of the season.

This year we're trying something different—adding small amounts of intentional speed training within the teams' normal practice schedules.

I wrote more about what we're doing, what I've learned so far, and why I think this matters for team-sport athletes.

“My athlete is good. They just need to get faster.”

I hear some version of this from parents all the time.

Their athlete may have good skills, understand their sport, and work hard—but as the level of competition increases, speed can become the thing that holds them back.

The good news is that speed isn’t simply something an athlete either has or doesn’t have.

Speed can be trained.

That means working on things like acceleration, running mechanics, strength, explosiveness, and the ability to apply force efficiently.

And it doesn’t always take a dramatic change to make a difference.

A quicker first step can mean getting to the ball first, creating separation from a defender, beating an opponent to a position, or turning a close play into a successful one.

That’s why at FPC, we don’t just try to make athletes tired.

We’re trying to make them faster.

I’ve realized something over the years: the more individual attention I can give a track athlete, the better I can coach them.

Every athlete is different.

One athlete may need to improve acceleration. Another may need better running mechanics. Another may need to get stronger or more explosive. And another may need help with the technical side of their event.

That’s one of the reasons I’m changing the direction of Speed Force Track Club.

Instead of trying to build a large group and have everyone follow the same training program, I’m going to work more closely with a limited number of athletes through Speed Force Private Coaching.

The idea is pretty simple:

What does YOU getting better require?

We start by figuring out where the athlete is now and what they need to improve. From there, we develop the training, measure progress, and make adjustments along the way.

Assess. Train. Measure. Adjust.

The program is designed for track & field athletes entering grades 7–12 who want more individualized coaching and a year-round approach to their development.

If that sounds like something that could help your athlete, you can learn more about Speed Force Private Coaching here:

🏀 BASKETBALL PLAYERS: ARE YOU READY FOR THE SEASON?

Last year's Division 1 Ohio State Player of the Year, Whitney Stafford, trusted us with her off-season training.

Maybe you should too!

Whitney was a 3X First Team All-Ohio basketball player and is now headed to Kent State on a basketball scholarship.

She understood something that sometimes gets overlooked:

You can't just work on your basketball skills. You have to work on the ATHLETE playing basketball.

That's why we created XPLODE.

2026 Track Season By The Numbers 🏆

As another high school season comes to an end, I wanted to recognize some incredible athletes who trusted us with their off-season training.

This spring:

🏅 19 athletes qualified for the Ohio State Track & Field Championships
🥇 15 earned podium finishes (Top 8)
🥈 22 state medals
🏫 Athletes represented 8 Central Ohio high schools

Congratulations to every athlete who put in the work when nobody was watching. Your dedication paid off.

To our seniors, thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. Watching you grow as athletes—and more importantly as people—has been one of the best parts of what we do.

Ready to make next season your best season? The off-season starts now.

You Can't Improve What You Don't Measure.

Imagine taking a test in school...
..but never finding out your score.

You wouldn't know what you did well.

You wouldn't know what needed improvement.

Athletic development works the same way.

Many athletes spend months working hard, but they're often guessing about what they should actually improve.

That's why we're introducing Benchmark Day.

Through objective testing—including laser-timed sprints, vertical jump, broad jump, agility, strength, and running form analysis—athletes will discover where they excel and where they have the greatest opportunity to improve.

Every participant receives a personalized Benchmark Report with testing results, performance analysis, and recommendations from the FPC coaching staff.

Don't guess.

Measure.

Train.

Improve.

Does Your Athlete Really Know What They Need To Improve?

Most athletes will tell you they want to get:
✅ Faster
✅ Stronger
✅ More explosive

But here's the question...

How do they know what they actually need to work on?

Many athletes spend an entire offseason guessing.

At Fitness Planning Consultants, we believe the first step toward improvement is knowing exactly where you stand.

That's why we're introducing Benchmark Day.

On Saturday, July 25, middle school and high school athletes from any sport will complete a series of athletic performance tests including:

🏃 Video-Timed 10, 20 & 40-Yard Sprints

💥 Vertical Jump & Broad Jump

↔️ 20-Yard Shuttle

💪 Pull-Ups & Plank Hold

🎥 Running Form Analysis

Within 1-2 days, each athlete will receive a personalized Benchmark Report that includes:

✔️ Testing Results

✔️ Performance Analysis

✔️ Areas To Improve

✔️ Performance Goals

✔️ Personalized Training Recommendations

Whether your athlete already trains, is preparing for an upcoming season, or simply wants to know where they stand, Benchmark Day provides valuable information to help guide their development.
