There's speed, and there's GAME SPEED... be the lion!

1st we build the engine, then we run the engine. The work doesn't end there, the most important step is knowing how to use that engine and build the brakes that control deceleration and explosive change of direction.

This is Game Speed... this is the differentiator

This is the foundation our Athlete Development Program is built on

Athletes who can do just about everything right with a ball in their hands... Good hands, good feel for the game, good coaching. Then a play comes down to one extra step, and they're a half second late.

Most of the time the skill was fine. What they needed was a bigger engine so that skill could show up in the biggest moments of the game.

Speed and power are that engine, and every sport runs on it. It's the shortstop getting to the ball in the hole, the guard turning the corner on a closeout, the midfielder winning the race to a loose ball, the attack-man creating space with one hard cut. Those athletes didn't learn a new skill. They got faster and more explosive, so the skills they already had started showing up more often.

If your athlete plays a spring sport (baseball, softball, lacrosse, track), this is the window. What they do between now and the first practice of the season decides a lot about how that season goes.

Don't just assume you're ready for next season, make sure you have the engine ready to dominate your upcoming season.

Stop guessing... start training to know exactly where you stand and find out what needs to be improved heading into next season

No matter the sport, the ask is the same.... how much force can the athlete produce FAST!

This is why the SHREDmill is our favorite tool to teach the angles and shapes that produce that fast force- as Tony Villani likes to say, Get Fast FAST

This is power.... that is what transfers

Every sport is a speed sport, because every sport is asking the athlete to put force into the ground fast. Speed is trainable, and it does not take hours a week to train it. And the engine you build decides how good every skill on top of it can look.

Which leaves one honest question: where is your athlete right now?

You cannot build a plan around a guess. So come in and let us measure it.

Let's find out what their engine is capable of. DM for more information or to book your Athlete Analysis today

Coaches Do Not Cut The Fast Kid

Skill is the driver. Speed is the engine. Think about a sports car for a second.

You can put a world class driver behind the wheel, and if the engine is weak, they still lose the straightaway. The driver decides where the car goes. The engine decides how much car there is to drive.

Sport skill is the driver. Ball handling, route running, footwork at the net, reading a pitcher. It is real, it matters, and it is what most families spend their money on.

Speed and power are the engine. And here is the part that surprises parents: a bigger engine makes every skill look better, without changing a single thing about the skill itself.

Same crossover, more explosive first step, and now it is a blow by instead of a contested shot. Same route, more top end speed, and now there is a step of separation instead of a jump ball. Same swing mechanics, more force into the ground, and now the ball leaves the bat harder. Same approach at the net, and now they are hitting over the block instead of into it.

Nothing about the skill changed. The engine driving it got stronger, so the skill got expressed at a higher level.

This is why the faster, more explosive athlete is always the more valuable athlete on a roster. Coaches build around athletes who create separation and close space, because those athletes make everything else easier for everyone around them. That has been true in every sport I have ever coached in.

And unlike height or hand size, the engine is trainable. It is also the part of the athlete almost nobody actually trains.

We would love to show you what your athlete's looks like today, DM for more information

Sprinting at top speed is the highest force output an athlete can produce. At full stride, the foot is on the ground for roughly a tenth of a second. In that sliver of time the body must produce force several times the athlete's own body weight, or they collapse. Nothing else in training demands force that large, that fast.

That quality has a name. Rate of force development. How much force an athlete can create, and how quickly they can create it.

Why does that matter to you? Well, look at your athlete's sport.

The first step to a loose ball. The block at the net. The jump off one leg at the rim. The rotation into a swing or throw. The cut that leaves a defender standing still. The push off the boards. Every one of those asks the same question: how much force can you put into the ground, right now?

Sprinting is one of the most effective ways we can train an athlete to express the exact quality every sport is quietly demanding. Faster athletes are more powerful athletes.

That is the engine under the hood of every position on every field or court.

If you're curious what your athlete's engine looks like on paper, get tested to see how you can become more powerful. DM for more information.

August was a great finish to the summer program. Proud of all our athletes who showed up consistently and worked so hard to make progress throughout the summer.

Fall training starts now, stay fast stay healthy... don't stop training when the season starts!
