The Parent's Guide to Developing a Fast Athlete
Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is. If your athlete has a good attitude, shows up, and works hard — and still isn't getting faster — the problem is almost never the kid. It's the training.
Most sprint and speed coaches don't know what they're doing. I've watched poor coaching and poor programming produce career-ending injuries and months of stagnation for athletes who were paying good money for it. The Speed Parent Playbook is what I wish every parent had before they spent a dollar on training.
This is the parent-side companion to what we do at The Athletes House Training Club in Spokane. It's written in plain language, it's built for the driveway and the local park, and it tells you exactly what to do with your athlete between sessions — and what to stop doing.
