What changes

Primary outcomes

Faster on the field. Steadier off it.

Acceleration

Faster movement and a quicker first step, measured against the athlete's own starting times.

Mechanics

Better body positioning so effort turns into speed instead of wasted motion.

Explosiveness & confidence

Power that shows up in games, and confidence that shows up at school and at home.

Carryover

Consistency, accountability and habits that carry into every sport they play.

How it works

It starts with a stopwatch

Every athlete is benchmarked before day one.

We time three distances and film the run. Then we re-test every four weeks, so you can see progress in numbers instead of taking our word for it.

Questions

Parents usually ask

Is this enough training?

The schedule is built around load management. Doing more is how young athletes get hurt or burn out. The plan builds speed without overtraining.

Is my athlete too young?

Starting early means building good habits and mechanics before bad ones set in. That gets them ahead of the curve.

How do I know my athlete is safe?

Every session has a drop-off and check-in protocol, and parents get a direct line to staff. Michael and the staff build a one-on-one relationship with each athlete, so issues are caught early.

Is every athlete accepted?

No. Every athlete has to be approved by Michael before joining, and spots are limited.

The assessment tells you where your athlete stands today. Everything after that is measured against it.
