Registration for our upcoming program on growing and
running a profitable business conducting sports camps
and speed clinics has been steady.

In order to run a successful business where you never have
to worry about finding enough customers, you have to over
deliver so that people feel like they got more than their
money’s worth.

And that’s what we’re doing with the Speed Clinic Empire
Mentorship.

In addition to the program itself, we’re also giving away
8 impressive bonuses worth well over $1000.

And today we’re adding an entirely new Bonus that we’ll be
giving away to everyone who registers.

What is it?

Well many people want to know exactly how to set up an
effective clinic for a large group of athletes.

One of our instructors, Duane Carlisle, (currently the
Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach of the San
Francisco 49ers) has extensive experience in this area.

In fact, he filmed a Live speed training camp that he put
on for athletes being exposed to his methods for the
first time. You will be able to look at the athletes going
through a real-time speed camp all on a 2 DVD set.

You will see EXACTLY how Coach Carlisle:

>Sets up his speed training camps
>Demonstrates how to perform speed drills and exercises
>Provides feedback to the athletes
>Deals with large groups of young and inexperienced athletes
>Implements the flow of the speed camp (learn what drills
 to use and when to use them)
>Identifies and corrects movement errors

It’s an in-depth, step-by-step blue print, of how to run
a team-based speed training camp (live from an actual
lacrosse speed camp).

From warm-up to cool-down (and everything in between),
Coach Carlisle reveals his training methods and techniques
he uses in this real speed camp. Learn what exercises he
uses to develop athleticism and improve speed for
lacrosse in a team environment.

Do you want to find out exactly how Coach Carlisle runs
his speed camps and clinics? Do you want to find out how
run a speed camp for a specific sport in a team-based
setting?

Now you can discover both with Coach Carlisle’s
Team-Based Speed Training for Lacrosse 2-DVD set.

Being able to accelerate quickly and powerfully is probably the most important skill that needs to be improved in all athletes.

Athletes in every sport need to be able to run as fast as possible as quickly as possible. From getting off the line fast in football, to beating your opponent to the ball in soccer, to exploding out of the blocks in track; each of these athletes need to be as efficient as possible to be able to generate speed in a short period of time.

Acceleration development is a major focal point in our training program and we spend a lot of time working on proper acceleration mechanics. The reason being that most sports never really need their athletes to sprint over 30 meters.

Last week I announced a new program we are running this
winter on how to run profitable speed clinics, sports
camps and specialized coaching programs.

And the limited number of open slots are being filled
right on pace with what we expected.

If you missed my email last week, we’re also giving away
over 2.5 hours (161 minutes to be exact) of free audio
interviews from our Instructors on *all* the topics that go
into developing a successful speed clinic business.

We’re handing this to you just for checking out the program.

It’s a darn good deal if you ask me!

So if you missed my email last week, here it is again:

**

Ever since we started Athletes’ Acceleration we’ve received
a steady stream of questions from people interested in
learning how to run their own speed clinics and personalized
coaching programs.

After all, according to the Wall Street Journal, the speed
clinic and personalized coaching niche has become a $4
Billion per year industry.

Wow!

But if you think about it, it makes sense.

More and more young athletes (and their parents, of course)
are seeking a competitive edge at an early age.

And that requires individualized programs and attention.

But just being a knowledgeable and experienced coach or
trainer doesn’t mean that athletes are going to magically
start lining up at your door.

While this would be nice in a perfect world, it’s just not
going to happen.

But I think you’ve figured that out by now.

If you really want to take control of your situation and
start attracting large numbers of athletes to your programs,
it’s going to require learning a system designed specifically
for this very purpose.

Those who seek information from people who have ‘made it’
are likely to succeed.

Those who try to ‘wing it’ or expect things to fall in
their lap…

They’ll get eaten up by their more aggressive colleagues.

Let me give you an example:

Two years ago Patrick, Lee Taft and I ran a 6 week
telecoaching program on the topic of building a profitable
speed clinic business that was very successful.

In fact, we only offered 25 spots and people had to fill
out a comprehensive application just to be considered.

Going out to a list of less than 15,000 people, we sold
out all 25 slots in just 10 days.

And we turned several people away who didn’t ‘fit’.

We didn’t run the program again, but we kept getting requests
to be put on the ‘waiting list.’

So we decided to take another look to see how much interest
there was in the topic.

We sent a quick survey out to just a part of our mailing
list.

The response, again, was more than we anticipated.

94.1% of the people who took part in the survey said they
were interested in such a program.

And we got over *350* questions about the ins and outs of
the business.

We took *all* of those questions, sorted them into categories,
and created an in depth curriculum that covered absolutely
everything from insurance needs, start up costs, securing
a facility, addressing staffing needs, marketing and
advertising, clinic structure, sales copy, drills and
exercises, putting up a quality website, online marketing…

The list goes on and on. But suffice to say we covered
everything you could *possibly* want to know.

The truth is, it puts our last (sold out) program to
shame…

Because it covers much, much more information. And we
have learned an awful lot over the past 2 years.

Once we understonnd what you wanted to know, we
needed to put a highly qualified staff in place.

Well that was easy enough!

We just followed the same system for recruiting staff to
fill out our teaching clinic as we use when running
traditional camps and clinics for athletes.

At the end of the day, we’ve created a program teaching
you how to run a profitable speed clinic, sports camp and
specialized coaching business that has never been done or
attempted in our industry.

Of course you’ve got Patrick and I on board to show you
the ropes.

But we’ve really upped the ante with the rest of your
program instructors.

They’re the cream of the crop, but you’ll have to click
through to the website to get the full details.

Quick bios here wouldn’t do them justice.

There is one catch however.

We’re only opening this program to a limited number of
coaches/entrepreneurs.

Let me put it like this:

Earlier in this email I told you we sold out a program
for 25 people in just 10 days.

And that program was promoted to only 15,000 people.

Well we’ve grown and learned alot in the past two years.

And this program is being promoted to 10x the
number of people this time around.

And once we reach our limit, that’s it.

We won’t be taking on any more people.

Even if we sell out our slots at the end of the day
today.

So if you’ve ever thought about leveraging your coaching
knowledge into running paid programs for athletes, this
is your Once-in-a-Lifetime opportunity.

If you want to improve the way you currently run your
paid programs, again, don’t pass up this chance.

Because we’re not planning on running this program again.

So you can’t say ‘Maybe next time’.

There is no next time.

And you can’t say ‘The time isn’t right’.

Well timing is never perfect for any major life event
or action.

Successful people don’t passively wait around for
everything to be perfect…

They see an opportunity and make it happen.

And that’s what you need to do.

What’s more, there’s no travel, no flights, no hotel
arrangements to be made.

We’re bringing the coaches directly to you…

Will you take your share of this $4 Billion per year
industry?

I am sure you have heard of this too…
 
I hate when I hear coaches who are in-season state they are using a ‘maintenance program’ in the weight room.
 
The claim is to maintain muscular strength throughout the athletic sports’ season.
 
During any athletic season, I thought the primary goal is to continue to gain strength and power?
 
So how does maintenance fit in?
 
How can you maintain your strength throughout an entire season?
 
I just read a training program I found online that a baseball player in-season, from May to September, should focus on of strength. Then at the end of the season, from October to December, the emphasis is on recovery and maintenance. 

The author of that training program is saying that a baseball player, who relies on strength and power, should try and maintain strength for 5-8 months.  I really don’t know how that is possible.

Imagine trying to maintain your strength for an entire professional baseball season…or even a shorter high school sports season.

Let’s say you reach a certain strength level and you can now squat 400lbs. by the end of baseball preseason. If you rely on a maintenance program for the following 5 months, you will actually lose strength. Your body will adapt and plateau at that level (400lbs.) and then will decrease in performance because it is not challenged. Your body wants to get stronger and needs pushed to get stronger.

Here is a basic peridoization plan for weight training:
1)      GPP/Conditioning
2)      Hypertrophy Phase
3)      Maximal Strength Phase
4)      Speed/ Power Phase
 
The coaches that use a maintenance program are throwing it in as #5. So after they have developed strength and power with their athletes, they now want to stop their progression. If you want fast, powerful and strong athletes, then you have to train that way. Continue to improve these abilities.

Anyway, if a strength maintenance program did work, why would you use it? Don’t you want your athletes to get progressively stronger and not sustain a minimum level?

Just the other day I was on the phone with Duane Carlisle, Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach of the San Francisco 49ers and featured Instructor of the Speed Clinic Empire Mentorship Program  http://www.SpeedClinicEmpire.com 

Our conversation turned to strength training.

He described to me how the weight room training program he uses with the 49ers, and for previous teams he worked with [Philadelphia Eagles (Football), New Jersey Pride (Lacrosse), Philadelphia Charge (Soccer), Tampa Bay Devil Rays (Baseball)], the focus is on getting his athletes stronger.
 
Throughout the season, his athletes are getting more powerful and stronger and are setting new strength records by the end of the season.
 
That is the way you have to do it. If you are not getting stronger then you are getting weaker.

I know that Duane works with the Pros, and you may be saying to yourself, ‘Self, I work with high school athletes, how does that relate to what professional athletes are doing?

Great question! The high school season is much shorter so it makes it even more important to develop strength for the entire season. There is no time to go through the GPP, hypertrophy, max strength, power and maintenance phases in 3-4 months.  If you are trying to ‘maintain’ strength during a high school season, you are missing out on precious time to create the foundational strength needed for high school athletes to develop while they are there.
What would be even worse is this … you were a baseball coach and you get a 3 sport athlete (that’s not the bad part).

This athlete plays football and his coach uses a maintenance program. Next, that athlete is also a basketball player, and that coach uses a maintenance program. Finally he comes to you and you are using a maintenance program throughout baseball season. You are going to have an extremely weak player.

In the 9-10 months that your athlete is actually competing, when is he actually getting stronger?
It doesn’t matter if your athletes are in high school, college or the pros, they still need to continuously develop their strength and power. (I would say that it is even more important for your high school athletes!)
 
If you don’t believe me and are currently running a maintenance program for most of your sports season, the best way I can convince you is to have you test. At the end of preseason, test your athlete’s strength and power. Then run the same tests at the end of the season.
 
Do you see an increase or decrease in their scores?
 
Also, does your athlete’s performance seem to be fading at the end of the year?
 
As a coach of any sport, you need to realize what your end goal is. What is the main competition that you want to prepare your athletes for? If the biggest game or competition for your team is the championship at the end of the season, then you should have your athletes be the strongest for that date.
 
Strength training needs to be looked at as the same as speed and power training, you need to structure it and make a plan on how to optimally develop it so your athletes will be at their best when it counts the most.
