Did you see the Giants/Packers game last Sunday? The Packers only touchdown was an out and up by Jordy Nelson. It was a great shot of him separating from Corey Webster on the touchdown catch and run. A great demonstration of speed. […]
Tuesday night, I watched the ESPN 30 on 30 series documentary, 9.79. It was a great episode about the world record 100M race that Ben Johnson of Canada ran. Then several days later, he tested positive for drugs and was stripped of his gold medal and world record in what was one of the Olympic’s, [...]
Speed training has taken many twists and turns throughout the years. Some people might have asked how did we get to this point where we are at in speed development. Meaning, how did all the trial and error come about so that we knew what was the best way to squeeze every ounce of fast [...]
Last year I wrote a post on the top 10 fastest baseball players currently in the major leagues. If I would have expanded that into the minor league system, then Billy Hamilton’s name probably would be at the top of the list. I’ve had several people tell me I should write about this guy. He [...]

I get clients all the time who want to utilize our speed training program so that they can run faster on the playing field. These same clients initially have no idea what the feeling is to win a race. What the feeling is to run so much faster than your competition, it looks like they [...]
The NFL Draft is done and now it is time to see if you did well at the combine. If you ran a fast 40 yard dash, does that translate to being drafted or being drafted high. I focused just on their combine results. I tried not to read that much about them when I [...]
The 60 yard dash is to baseball what the 40 yard dash is for football. A test that has been passed down through the ages more for show rather than a true test of applicable baseball speed. Today, I’m going to discuss how you run fast for the 60 yard dash. […]
What is going to make a high school player a top signing day recruit? Obviously, they have to be a great high school player, but what are the other intangibles involved? How fast does a football player have to be to get this national attention? […]
