The Definitive Resource on Speed Training for Team Sport Athletes Has Arrived!
We’ve all heard the expression, “Speed Kills.” It’s true - fractions of a second determine the outcome of game-changing plays. Speed has always been the most sought-after physical attribute in sports, yet clear, proven information on how to train it has been hard to find...until now. SPEED changes the game forever.
Unlike most speed training resources that focus exclusively on track athletes, SPEED delivers practical, real-world training methods designed specifically for team sport athletes. This system reveals the exact drills, methods, and progressions that have produced some of the fastest football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and hockey players in the world for the past 15 years.
This Revolutionary SPEED System Reveals:
- 60+ proven speed training drills with detailed explanations, progressions, and multiple camera angles.
- 25 years of data-driven results identifying the most effective, time-efficient ways to train for speed - guaranteed.
- Step-by-step breakdown of acceleration mechanics, including the critical role of a positive shin angle and how to “teach acceleration slowly” using sleds and prowlers.
- Max velocity mechanics simplified, with proven arm action cues that are different from the acceleration phase!
- Mass-Specific Force (MSF): why improved force application back into the ground separates elite sprinters from everyone else.
- The truth about agility, deceleration, and why most “agility drills” fail to transfer to game speed.
- Energy system training: how, when, and why to target each of the three energy systems to maximize speed.
- Does aerobic training kill speed, or can it actually be a hidden weapon?
- Special Strength Training (SST) methods that drive sprint performance.
- Integration with popular strength templates like Westside for Skinny Bastards and High/Low programs.
- A step-by-step tutorial on the legendary 40-yard dash stance that can instantly shave one to two-tenths off your time.
Why This System Works When Others Fail
Most trainers avoid speed training because they think it’s too complicated, or they fall back on cookie-cutter “track and field” models. But team sports are chaotic, multi-directional, and demand acceleration, deceleration, and re-acceleration in split seconds - not endless straight-line sprints or cone drills. SPEED provides the missing link between elite sprint mechanics and real-world athletic performance.
Inside, You’ll Discover:
- The biggest mistakes coaches make when blending speed and conditioning—and how to fix them.
- Why overspeed training is misunderstood: overrated gimmick or underutilized game-changer?
- The “All Show, No Go” drills that look impressive but have zero carryover to game speed.
- How to unlock your athletes’ maximum output so their weight room gains actually transfer to the field.
- The role of tempo work and how to use it without crushing speed development.
Who Is This Book For?
SPEED is designed for:
- Strength and conditioning coaches who want to finally master speed development.
- Sport coaches looking for drills and workouts that directly improve on-field performance.
- Athletes who want to unlock their acceleration, top speed, and agility potential.
- Trainers who are tired of gimmicks and want a data-backed, proven system.
