The Speed Academy is conducted through the K.C. Flyers Track., an organization of certified speed development specialists, certified USA Track & Field coaches, area coaches and former athletes. These professionals design traditional workouts and implement contemporary regimens that develops strength, speed, agility and character in developing athletes. We work with athletes of all ages, including college and professional athletes.
The Speed Academy believes that the achievement of permanent speed and agility gains occur first by eliminating fundamental developmental biomechanical inefficiencies that limit speed and agility. These biomechanical inefficiences limit maximum speed gains no matter what the sport. Therefore, if an athlete is mechanically inefficient moving in a straight line, this inefficiency will be over exaggerated when the athlete is required to perform movements in multiple planes, such as in sports like football, soccer, volleyball and tennis.
Many professional teams, including football, soccer and baseball teams, are now coming to understand what we've known and have implemented in our training for over 15-years; straight-line speed is the basis for achieving permanent speed and agility gains in sports requiring movements in multiple planes. The professionals at The Speed Academy did not learn this from a text book; we learned this through 15-years of speed development training and training track & field athletes. We are not anti intellectuals; our professional Speed Development Trainers are constantly expanding their knowledge. Current development in the speed profession confirms principles of training we, at The Speed Academy, has been following for over 15-years.
