WHAT ATHLETES WORK ON

Six parts of speed, coached in both academies

01

Acceleration and first-step speed

Start position, push-off and the first few steps, timed on the 10m gate.

02

Sprint technique and mechanics

Posture, arm drive, foot strike and ground contact, coached rep by rep.

03

Top-speed development

Upright sprinting and maximum velocity, measured on a flying 10m.

04

Agility and change of direction

Braking, cutting and re-accelerating under control.

05

Efficient movement and coordination

Rhythm, balance and the basics that make speed repeatable. The main focus for younger juniors.

06

Speed in a sporting context

Reacting, chasing and evading in game-like drills for rugby, league, football, netball and basketball, so the speed shows up on match day.

“Even though the speed academy was in a group, Logan ensured that I still received a personalised coaching experience which is truly amazing.”
