Here's why MOST ATHLETES NEVER GET fast.
AND IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH MOST SPEED GURUS NOT UNDERSTANDING TEAM-SPORT ATHLETES.
There is a huge difference between the training of elite sprinters and team sport athletes.
But most ‘speed’ coaches train you more like an elite specialist sprinter, forgetting that team sport athletes are generalists — they have to be good at everything, not just running in a straight line out of the blocks.
That’s why most speed training doesn’t work for team sport athletes — it simply doesn’t account for all the different physical attributes you need to develop at the same time to become an elite athlete. In fact, the training loads are often poorly managed and speed is trained in a vacuum; so when it gets to the pitch or court, it doesn’t transfer to the chaotic world of team sports.
Because of this gap in knowledge, the most ‘glamorous’ speed training is often what gets the attention. Fancy cone drills, quick-feet through agility ladders and technical drills that look good on YouTube are what most athletes spend time doing… even though they won’t turn your average acceleration into blistering top end speed.
To develop the gift of speed, you need to understand the proven 3-step formula for speed and agility training that most speed coaches don’t tell you.
THE 3 PILLARS OF
SPEED PRODUCTION FOR THE TEAM SPORT ATHLETE
01. Relative Force Production in the gym
The first pillar of speed is the development of relative force. Athletes can’t be fast until they’re powerful. When an athlete can produce more force per kg of bodyweight, this directly translates to more speed — it’s simple physics. This isn’t developed on the field; it’s developed in the gym. Powerful athletes are athletes who excel in speed training and have the potential to be fast. Weak athletes can never be fast.
02. Acceleration & Top-End Speed technique
There is no denying improving running mechanics can help the team-sport athlete; it’s usually the lowest hanging fruit and will reap the biggest reward. The athlete that can optimise their quickness in the first couple of steps will always have the advantage in team sports; the same goes for the athletes that can harness their top end potential with great speed mechanics.
03. Simulation on the pitch
The third pillar is so obvious that you’d be surprised it’s often overlooked in speed and agility training. If you want to be fast, you have to run, fast. At the end of the day, no drills that improve mechanics or strength training can be optimised unless an athlete actually sprints. It stands to reason that the third pillar is actual speed simulation.
How it works
Unlike most speed solutions that train speed in a vacuum, our speed and agility program is seamlessly integrated into our Athlete Development Program (ADP).
The ADP program improves strength and power (pillar one), teaches great running mechanics (pillar two), and provides a great training dosage of real speed training (pillar three). We do this with a combination of in-gym training and training on the pitch where all the hard work comes together while reducing injury risk for the team-sport athlete.
If you’ve been searching for “sprint training near me” and getting no real results, look no further. We help athletes of all levels bulletproof their weaknesses, decrease injury risk, and develop the gift of speed. Unlike other programs that start and end on the pitch, we combine everything that an athlete needs to maximise their speed potential.
WHY CHOOSE US?
We've worked with the best
“Training with you guys was the best decision I’ve made.I’ve never felt better — I’m stronger, fitter & faster than I’ve ever been.”
Georgia Yeoman-Dale
“It is rare to be coached by someone who has an abundance of knowledge but also the drive to learn. He listens to the athlete and works with them to get the best out of themselves. I was fortunate to work with Lachie for 5+ years, he is the reason I am the athlete in strength and conditioning I am today.”
Dylan Shiel
“Still one of the best facilities I’ve ever trained out of. As a Rugby 7’s athlete speed is king so it’s great to get the support you need.”
Brandon Quinn

RE: CAN SPEED REALLY BE TRAINED?
You may have heard the idea that speed is born, not built.
The problem with statements like this is that they’re true… kind of.
While there is no doubt a huge genetic contribution to speed, I’ve also seen athletes who were never known for their speed develop a punch and power in their sprint that makes them a dominant force on the pitch where it counts.
And that’s the point — if you’re already a speed demon, you’re probably not searching the web for results such as “sprint coach near me.” This program isn’t for the speed demon; it’s for the guys and girls who want to be more like one. Our program helps you get the most out of your genetic potential by giving you the best preparation possible.
With our 3-pillars system, we take the genetics you can’t change and find a way to harness all of your potential with great training because we’ve proven time and time again that the gift of speed doesn’t only come down to the genetic lottery. Speed can be built; it isn’t just born.
