This speed development program is meant for intermediates and advanced athletes who have a solid base of strength, power, and endurance. It IS NOT meant to be used by beginners.

This program will make you lightning quick by emphasizing the quality used primarily in team sports: acceleration.

While many team sports do need some level of top speed, most of the work players need is on their ability to rapidly accelerate their bodies to catch a fly ball, steal a base, catch up to a defender, and create space for routes.

The first 4 weeks will focus on these accelerative qualities, building your first steps and speed out of the hole.

The last 4 weeks will blend accleration and top speed work to allow you to fly past your opponents.

No equipment is required except for a solid pair of cleats and a field, or indoor turf.

Builds Acceleration
Arguably one of the most important qualities in team sport athletes, this program will enhance your ability to rapidly accelerate from a dead stop. This will help you steal bases, break past defenders, and enter top speed more quickly.

Enhances Top Speed
In addition to building acceleration, this program will help you increase your top speed. As we have all heard, SPEED KILLS, and by improving both qualities, you will be levels ahead of your competition. This will help you slash your 40 yard and 60 yard dashes, making your more appealing to scouts.
