Athletic Development
Developing speed, agility, and movement confidence isn’t just for elite athletes. It’s the foundation for anyone who wants to perform better, move well, and reduce risk of injury. My approach is simple: create structured, progressive training that is effective, safe, and enjoyable.
Phase 1 – Foundation
Focus on movement literacy: safe landings, balance, and basic sprint mechanics. This stage introduces athletes to controlled agility and change-of-direction skills, giving them the confidence to accelerate, brake, and re-accelerate with good form. Building the ability for safe, efficient movement and a strong foundation for more advanced training.
Phase 2 – Build
Emphasis shifts to developing explosive speed and power. Athletes learn to produce force quickly in sprints and jumps (rate of force development) while handling sharper angles and higher demands in change-of-direction drills. Both slow and fast stretch–shortening cycle movements are trained to strengthen elastic qualities. Building the ability for effective braking and rapid re-acceleration at higher approach speeds.
Phase 3 – Perform
The final stage ties everything together in sport-like scenarios. Training blends reactive agility, decision-making, and high-speed movements under game conditions. Athletes work on refining spring-mass qualities, reactive speed, and perceptual-cognitive ability. Training the ability to transfer athletic skills directly into sport with improved reactivity, agility, and performance under pressure.
By progressing through these phases, athletes follow a structured and progressive pathway that supports effective development. Each stage builds naturally on the previous one, starting with strong movement fundamentals and advancing toward high-level reactive speed and agility. This approach ensures that improvements are sustainable, meaningful, and directly transferable to performance in sport.
