I’ve been working with improving speed for young athletes for years. I do have an age requirement for our services and that age is 10. Not that kids younger than 10 can’t do speed training, but the way we are set up, I prefer not to work with kids that young. But, we get calls [...]
Nothing frustrates me more than an athlete that is constantly sick. Well, I’m sure there are things that frustrate me more, but that is up there. Especially when it seems every two or three weeks you have an athlete that seems to always have something making them feel like blah. Why does it bother me [...]

Watched another ball drop and low and behold another year has begun. The time certainly does fly by. Seems like it was yesterday I was struggling to stay awake and see that ball drop. Oh wait, that was just yesterday. Moving on. As we look forward to this year, there are some trends I have [...]
