With spring approaching, I know many of you are like me: you're beginning to think about how to improve your team's performance for next season.

When I think about athletic performance, there is probably no more important component than SPEED!

As coaches, we all love speed. We want fast athletes on our teams. But then the question becomes, what do we do with those athletes once we get them? And better yet -- how can I transform slow athletes into fast, explosive ones?

Well, I have great news. A clinic has been put together with a team of coaches that can teach you how to do just that.

Tony Holler is the track coach at Plainfield North High School. He has 40 years of coaching experience in football, basketball, and track. He's a member of Illinois Track & Field Hall of Fame, Co-director of Track Football Consortium with Chris Korfist, and Creator of the revolutionary, "Feed the Cats" program.

If you don’t know Tony, here’s his background on how he developed “Feed the Cats:”

From Coach Holler's Feed the Cats courses on CoachTube, you may recognize Kyle Edwards, a sprints and defensive backs coach in Mishawaka, Indiana and founder of the Speed is Key Speed School. Kyle is an expert on the X-Factor Workout, which can increase explosive power output for all athletes. In the video below, he teaches how he programs depth jumps:

As a four-time Orange County Coach of the Year, JT Ayers is no slouch when it comes to speed development. One of the best ways to increase speed is with a lifting program that complements sprinting. He recently teamed up with Brian Kula, trainer for NFL running back Christian McCaffrey, to talk about how to increase speed in the weight room. Here's a preview:

As a sprints and jumps coach for the last 17 years at Homewood-Flossmoor High School, Rob Assise has had tremendous results with kids of all ability levels. This year is different than years past, and many of us are wondering how to prepare explosive athletes in the age of COVID. If there's anyone who can teach you the strategies you need, it's him! Here's a look at a panel discussion Rob did on that topic:

There are so many things in football that are preference and style designed to fit your team, but one thing is always true: speed kills on the gridiron.

That's why I would highly recommend that you check out the Virtual Speed and Performance Clinic that's coming up on February 19 & 20. You'll get to hear from all of the great coaches mentioned above, plus several others, as you learn how to increase speed, power, and explosiveness for your athletes.

You will want at least one of your coaches to attend this symposium of eight of the top speed experts in the country -- don't miss out!
