WHAT ARE ATHLETES & COACHES SAYING?
DAN PFAFF
Olympic Speed Coach
MARK FITZGERALD
Strength & Conditioning Coach
JONAS DODOO
Speed Consultant
Les Spellman's global understanding of first principles in biomechanics and pragmatic pedagogical systems allows him to teach at all levels of development and in RTP settings.
Les possesses an attribute that only the great coaches have, and that's never being satisfied. The amount of detail and effort into every aspect of speed development is something I have not witnessed.
Les has the ability to decipher the complex into simple and make it work for all his athletes. Highly recommend this course.
SCIENCE-BASED TRAINING
PROVEN SPEEDRESULTS
It doesn't take "running a lot of reps" to improve speed. Developing speed is a science and in this course, I walk through my data-driven approach that has helped thousands of athletes improve this skill and excel in their sport.
The Start Phase is steps 0-2 and is the largest change in velocity over the course of the entire sprint.

PILLAR 2
ACCELERATION
The Acceleration Phase is steps 3-10 and includes the transition to Max Velocity. Once you reach step 10, you'll typically see 80% of your max velocity reached.

PILLAR 3
MAX VELOCITY
The Max Velocity Phase is steps 10+.
We want to go from 80% of our velocity to 100% of our max velocity. This is largely dependent on the amount of vertical force being produced into the ground.
