This one trait can upgrade your team in a major way ⚡

Coach ,
One characteristic of your team that is guaranteed to make a difference on the field is SPEED!
It would be nice to have athletes on your team that could run like this guy:
Having spent 30 years coaching, I can admit that unless a football coach has experience in track, he really doesn’t know how to train speed. I see the same mistakes made over and over, and utilizing track knowledge would be an incredibly smart decision.
The other mistake I see is equating speed training as something only applying to skill players. IT IS FOR EVERY ATHLETE ON YOUR TEAM!
Your players need to get off the ball and be explosive! They may not carry that explosion down the field for 40 yards, but I promise, a big man with the explosiveness off the line will be winning his match-up often.
So how do you and your staff upgrade your team speed?
Learn from the best!
And the good news is that the ever expanding virtual clinic world has made this available to you now.
The Football Track Consortium is designed to give you all the knowledge you need to make your team faster.

When I was exposed to real speed training as elite speed coaches do it, my eyes were open to a whole new world of opportunity to make our athletes better.
You will want at least one of your coaches to attend this consortium of 20 speed experts who have presentations designed for football coaches.
Many of these concepts will Challenge Everything you know about Speed Training.
Here is an example of one of the Speakers Tony Holler.
Speed is the key to modern football, but too many football practices look more like boot camp than track practice. If “playing fast” is your mantra, speed considerations should be the lynchpin of weekly practice.
Why are some high school football players faster on Monday than Friday? Practice is a grind. Football coaches demand full speed on every rep, every day. If you’re a football coach whose team is faster on Friday, I want to meet you.

Speed is a top priority in football.
Football coaches love speed in all its forms—gap-to-gap, sideline-to-sideline, endzone-to-endzone, and everywhere in between. Even so, many coaches still treat game-changing speed as a genetic trait rather than a developed skill.
Why do some football coaches recruit speed only to then neglect it? Identifying speed and training speed are two very different things. And developing speed is not the same as developing strength and conditioning.
Bear Bryant said it best, "Luck follows speed". Anyone who coaches modern football with old-school methods should consider attending TFC-2020.
Modern football is a game played at breakneck speed. Where football players of the past were big and bulky and wore big, bulky pads, today sprinters dominate football games wearing tights and almost undetectable shoulder pads.
The definition of consortium: An alliance, partnership, or coalition of people pooling resources for a common goal.
That’s it! That’s what our consortium is all about. Our common goal? Speed. The entire idea behind the Track Football Consortium is to share a range of insights about sprinting as a skill instead of a chromosome inherited from ancestors. It's never too late to learn new ideas...
Alway’s be growing,
