HOW SPEED DR. TRAINING WORKS

THIS ISN’T CONDITIONING. IT’S LEARNING HOW TO MOVE FASTER.

Most athletes don’t have an effort problem. They have a movement problem. They’ve been taught to run harder—but rarely taught how to run better. Speed Dr. training teaches athletes to move more efficiently—what to move, where to move, and when to move. I call it “Easy Speed” - learning to run faster with less effort, so speed begins to feel natural instead of forced.

My kid works hard. So why aren’t they getting faster?

WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT?

1. EVERY ATHLETE IMPROVES AT THEIR OWN PACE.

Speed development isn't about comparing your child to a pro or elite athlete—or even to another child. Every athlete has a different starting point and different genetic potential. The goal is simple: help each athlete become a better, faster, more efficient version of themselves.

3. IMPROVEMENT HAPPENS IN STAGES.

* 1–6 sessions: Learn to think and become aware while moving.

* 7–12 sessions: Begin running with the same speed—but less effort.

* 13–20 sessions: Movement becomes more organized, controlled and efficient—and others often begin noticing the difference.

* 21+ sessions: Continue developing speed toward the athlete's individual potential, while strength and power can become a greater part of the process.

2. THE ATHLETE HAS TO FEEL IT—NOT JUST SEE IT.

You can watch someone ride a bike, but that doesn't teach you what balancing on one feels like. Running is the same. I teach movement from the athlete's point of view—what to move, where to move it, when to move it, and most importantly, what efficient speed should feel like. That's how athletes begin developing their personal "Easy Speed!"

4. MOST ATHLETES TRAIN ABOUT ONE HOUR, ONCE A WEEK.

More isn't always better. Athletes need time to practice, recover and allow what they're learning to become natural. Additional sessions can be used when appropriate for tryouts, testing or other time-sensitive goals.

5. TRAINING SHOULD SUPPORT THEIR LIFE—NOT TAKE IT OVER.

Your athlete already has practices, games, coaches, schoolwork, teammates and family responsibilities. I work around those commitments, not against them. Speed training should enhance the athlete's experience—not become another burden.
