Developing speed and agility in young athletes doesn’t have to be as complicated or technical as you may believe.

In fact, by the time you finish reading this page, you’ll understand just how easy it can be for you to get better results for your athletes….in less time.

And make them stick.

Imagine the last training session you ran for your athletes:

They probably didn’t showcase highly skilled, blue chip, 5 star ability, did they?

Sure some of them might be talented. But for the most part, they’re regular kids. Kids who aren’t too strong. Kids who aren’t too flexible. Kids who aren’t too coordinated. Kids who, before they met you, had never been taught how to accelerate, decelerate or change directions correctly, if at all.

Kids who simply can’t FEEL what you SEE them doing wrong.

If you want to make them quicker and faster, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel, you just need to understand a few fundamentals. Fundamentals that Linear Speed Expert Latif Thomas and Multi-Directional Speed & Agility Expert Dave Jack want to share with you.

Combining almost four decades of coaching and athletic experience, Latif’s linear speed and track sprints background combined with Dave’s team sport (especially football), clinic and facility background give you the full spectrum of skills and experience, allowing you to cut right through fluff so you can quickly identify problems and offer your athletes solutions during the limited time you have together.

In fact, after Latif and Dave presented and taught at the 2011 IYCA International Summit, here is what two attendees had to say:

 

 

 

When you can bring this kind of enthusiasm to your workouts, training sessions and business, it rubs off on your clients and their parents. More people will seek you out not just because you get results, but because your athletes want to spend time with you.

And that is the fastest way to grow your reputation and your business.

Carrying the backing of a Youth Speed Specialist Certification from the International Youth Conditioning Association only cements your reputation as THE speed and agility expert to train with in your local market. Because this course will show you step by step how to teach the skills of speed, agility and coordination whether you’re working with high energy 6 year olds, 11 year old soccer players or 18 year old football players.

And everyone in between!

When it comes to training athletes, speed is KING. And if you’re going to expand your name, your business or your program to the level you deserve, you must be able to show you can get results in a fun, positive atmosphere.

Your athletes will leave your sessions feeling like they’ve learned skills that they can take directly to their competitions. And you have a limited amount of time to get this done. Because if you don’t, those athletes will find someone else who can. And no amount of fancy marketing will keep your programs full if that other coach at that other program knows the secrets that you’re not teaching.

You have a passion for working with athletes. You put your time into learning, coaching and growing your business. And you have a right to earn a good living teaching the skills that all athletes need to learn and are willing to pay for.

How many times have you put an athlete through a drill, known their technique was awful, but just didn’t have the depth of knowledge to fix it? Sure you probably changed the drill to mask the problem and made up some smart sounding feedback that sounded good to the athlete, but you know you were bluffing.

And here’s a truth that’s really going to throw you for a loop:
Your athletes are making mistakes right now that you can’t even see. And they’re manifesting on the athletic field with every team practice and competition.

Right or wrong parents and athletes are impatient. If they don’t feel like you’re fixing the problem, they’re going to look for someone who will. Right or wrong, as you know, that’s the world of youth sports.

Here’s the good news:

The solutions are right in front of you and so much easier than you can imagine.

You can put a permanent end to that fear and frustration. Because the IYCA Youth Speed & Agility Specialist Certification Course shows you the skills you need to know and teach, step by step and demonstrates them being taught to real world athletes in live training sessions.

It’s not an inventory of drills. Because drills by themselves don’t teach speed.

Instead, Latif and Dave show you the skill progressions they’ve refined over years of teaching thousands of athletes of every age and sport.

 

 

They have been where you want to be. They’re doing what you want to do.

And, along with Dr. Toby Brooks, they’ve developed a one-of-a-kind certification course with the specific intention of teaching you what you need to know to start making lasting improvements right away. In fact, as you’ll see below, we guarantee this certification changes your coaching career for the better.

We’re so confident in this program and how easy it is for you to implement with your athletes immediately, we’ll fully refund your investment if you disagree.

 

 

Think of developing speed and agility like making a delicious meal.

The only problem is you’ve got a busy schedule. You might not have the time to go to culinary school and become a chef before you can ever cook that meal.

What you need is recipes.

And that’s what the 9 DVDs in the IYCA Youth Speed Specialist Course give you. Specific recipes proven to make a variety of delicious meals every athlete wants to eat and every parent will pay to feed them.

Of course this is a certification course. To continue to make the IYCA a brand people trust, you’re going to have to understand ‘WHY’ you’re doing what you’re doing. Dr. Toby Brooks built a curriculum in the manual that serves as a foundation for all the skills you’ll teach, lays out the skills and drills with full detail, photos and coaching instructions, provides sample programs for 6-9, 10-13, 14+ and ties the videos together with a comprehensive coaching manual that will give you a whole new perspective and foundation for creating effective speed and agility programs for every population of athlete.

When you invest in yourself by becoming an IYCA Level I Certified Youth Speed Specialist, you will develop better athletes in less time and with less trial and error.
