FITTER - FASTER - STRONGER (SUMMER 2024)

Is your kid weary of being dominated by bigger, faster, stronger athletes?
Do you cringe while watching your son or daughter trying to keep up with the other kids?
Do you wonder how good you could have been had you received expert coaching as a child and now want that for your child?
Do you worry your child is not getting enough individual attention when it comes to their fundamental athletic development?

The Speed Science program offers the aspiring athlete the type of individualized attention and instruction generally reserved for university or professional athletes. The program is based on the premise that the best players on a team are almost always the fastest and thus all athletes should be spending more time working on this aspect of their performance.

Speed Science is bringing to Sport Canada what other countries have known for decades and that is, speed is a skill and speed can be taught by highly qualified coaches. Research and work with young athletes has proven that a structured, progressive training strategy can significantly improve speed, quickness and agility. Despite the Canadian coaching myth that fast athletes are born not made, speed can be improved in any athlete at any point in their career, even if they are naturally fast. If you are serious about elevating your game by becoming a more explosive athlete then please see our programs below.

DEDICATED ATHLETES WHO COMPLETE OUR PROGRAM WILL BECOME:

Faster
Quicker
Stronger
Fitter
More agile
More Flexible
More resistant to injury
A better, more complete athlete

The speed science program is open to any focused athlete with the desire to learn how their body works and how to take it to its genetic potential. In all of our programs we like to create an atmosphere of intensity and achievement and for that reason uncommitted athletes will have a tough time keeping up with us.

Total training: 12 on-field sessions plus 6 sessions at home = 18 sessions

Home Program:

In addition to the 12 on-field sessions, athletes will do one 75 minute workout per week (at home). We have added this extra session to enhance the effectiveness of the training and to improve self discipline. In order to make the home sessions run smoothly, the program will be clear and easy to follow. The intention for the fall is that the athletes will have a routine they can continue so they don't lose any of the summer gains. Read up on your favourite athlete's youth career and you will discover they put in 1000s of hours of home training time!
