Hi Friend,
I wasted years of my life believing that speed was something that we were born with.
That our ceiling for speed was determined the second we left the womb.
That the changes we could make would only happen through lifting.
This is probably why for most of my life I never even thought of making speed the center of my training, for both myself and my athletes.
What most coaches will have you believe is that the best way to get faster is through the weight room.
Through heavy squats & power cleans, you can improve your speed to a certain extent.
This is a fallacy.
And one I only figured out a few years ago.
The greatest case study I have to disprove this ideology...
Myself
Years ago in Missouri, I went to a collegiate strength & conditioning conference & found myself sitting at a presentation by Mike Boyle.
He talked about using timed sprints as a key method to improve speed.
This set a light bulb off in my head & has sparked a fire inside of me that I haven't stopped pursuing.
When I started this speed journey, I had a top speed of 8.8 m/s or 19.68 mph.
This week during a workout, I hit a lifetime PR of 9.58 m/s or 21.43 mph.
That's an improvement of 1.75 mph in just a few years of training.
I accomplished this while training when I could as a devoted husband & father of 4 beautiful children.
I have taken these same principles & have used these to improve speed with the 1000s of athletes I have worked with over the years.
You can do the EXACT same by making speed the priority of your training program.
Get out of the weight room & get onto the track, field, court, etc. & start chasing the dream of reaching speed you never thought was possible.
P.S.
I will be dropping the release of a new program tomorrow called PROJECT SUPERSONIC. A project I have been working on to help athletes reach their maximum potential.
Look out for the details tomorrow on how you can become a part of this legendary project.
If you want to achieve high-level speed, speed you never thought was possible, check your inbox tomorrow.
I am excited to welcome you all onboard.
