Here are 7 guidelines that provide a framework to develop a strong foundation for athletic development for the youth athletes I work with.
If we can teach them to do these things well, I am confident in how they’ll build, refine, & widen their athletic base as they grow.

This contrast of resisted power skips for distance + unresisted skips for distance seems to be a great potentiator on acceleration days.
He PR’d on his 20 after this complex. It was also the fastest 20yd sprint I’ve ever seen (10yd build + 10yd fly).
1.03 seconds. – at Westlake Village, CA

10 different movement flows w/ 24 different variations that athletes can do as an active recovery routine on an “off” day, or as a warm-up before a strength session, or simply as a daily routine to improve their movement quality & mobility.
Explore your ranges!

In 2023, I timed tens of thousands of sprints (probably ~100k sprints) from athletes of all ages, sports, abilities, & experiences.
Seeing so many different
movement strategies, patterns, compensations, body types, strength levels is an amazing teacher for my coaching eye.

Physio Ball Dodge Game
Simple Rules:
🔸 Run thru the cones & avoid the ball
🔹 No stoping. No jumping.
🔸 If you get hit, quick consequence (we did 5 pushups)
🔹 Have fun!

June 2023 Recap 👌🏽
Speed school, 6am taco breakfast, timed 90 cuts, push press, chain squats, fly sprints, hill sprints, editing content, drone footage, box squats, & more 🔥

All athletes should sprint.
Regularly.
With max intent.
Ideally timing their reps and/or against other athletes.
Outside of practices & games.
Speed development requires consistent fast sprinting.
Speed development requires a commitment to weekly, consistent SPRINTING.
Drills won’t do it.
Weight room isn’t enough.
“Footwork” isn’t enough.
Projection drills aren’t enough.
Banded high knee runs ain’t enough.
You need to SPRINT.

Tracking & recording reps during speed training for youth/HS athletes has been very engaging for my kids that I train.
Similar to the “rank, record, publish” mantra from @pntrack
Here’s the link (⬇️) to this MPH Calculation sheet that I made for 10yd fly times to MPH (Free) – at Westlake Village, CA

A good thread about the nuances of timing for anyone wanting some reading material
Definitely stimulates critical thinking, priorities, and what we are doing when we decide to collect data in different ways.
Check it out 👇
Very easy way for your athletes to check their MPH based on their 10yd split time. Not meters. But yards.
10 / split time (seconds) * 2.0454

Speed Camp we hosted this summer.
Focus — Early Acceleration
Teaching concepts for athletes to understand how to accelerate on their first 3 steps.
1) Projection of the Center of Mass
2) Swing Leg Retraction
(“Negative Foot Speed”)
Great turnout; had 3 more after this!
