It’s true. I really don’t think it will end any time soon.

 Now, you’re probably thinking I’m talking about the New
England Patriots 13 game winning streak and undefeated
season. Or maybe the Boston Celtics 11-0 home record.

 (Can you tell I’m from Boston?) But I’m not talking about either.

 Each month we add up the total number of product sales for
each of the products we sell at AthletesAcceleration.com.

We then compile a ‘Best Sellers’ list ranking the top 5
best selling resources from the previous month. You can see that list here:

 ==> http://www.athletesacceleration.com/bestsellers.html Each month that list changes based on a variety of factors
such as time of year, promotions, etc.

 But one thing doesn’t change. In fact, it’s never changed.

 Since AthletesAcceleration.com was launched in 2004 (and
before we had a ‘Best Sellers’ list) our Complete Speed
Training program has far and away been our highest selling
program. In fact it regularly sells almost double the number of copies
of the second best selling program.

program we promote.

 At the same time, it also has the lowest return rate of any
resource we sell. ===========================================
“I just wanted to make you aware that I was probably one of
the first persons to buy your complete speed training DVD’S,
I’m a Head track coach for Indoor and outdoor track and I
have been using these resources for two
years with great success. I’m also a Master athlete in the
65-70 age group and I have personally benifitted from these
same resources myself. After experiencing a back injury
this past summer, I took some time off to recuperate and
started the 28 day speed program a month ago, I feel like
I’m faster than I was before my injury and expect to be
faster this upcoming season than I was last season which
at my age is something to talk about.
Thanks for all you do for us coaches and athletes, keeping
us up on  the lastest in speed.”

============================================

In fact, the Complete Speed Training program has been sold
in over 72 countries and all 50 states.

Why does it continue to dominate month after month and year
after year?

Because it works regardless of age, sport or gender.

Because it’s practical and set up in a way that makes it
easy for you to learn and teach.

Because it contains a ton of information, drills and
exercises.

==========================================
“I love your stuff!! I’m all over the Complete Speed Training
DVDs and your Blog. Track starts in 4 weeks and I can’t
wait to apply the information that I learned from your
instructions. I will be calling for my one on one
consultation shortly.

Purchasing your acceleration program was the best coaching
move I’ve ever made.

Now I know what you’re thinking…

‘Of course you’re saying that Latif. You created it. And you
want me to buy it. I get all your emails.’

Well you’re absolutely right.

I do want you to buy Complete Speed Training. That is my
goal with this email.

Because I know you’re searching for quality information to
become a better coach. And better coaches equal better
athletes.

And I’ve had so many customers write to tell me about the
incredible results they’ve gotten that I feel compelled to
let you know that you and your athletes can do the same.

In fact, I guarantee it.

I offer you a 365 day no questions asked, money back guarantee.

If Complete Speed Training isn’t everything I say it is, you
can return it and get your money back.

What do you have to lose? All the risk is on me.

==========================================
This coming spring will mark the 3rd year I’ve employed the
CST principles in my team’s training. I have seen steady
progress. Most notable though is the reduction of common
nuisance injuries throughout our season. Just being able to
keep them healthy and on the track as the training loads
ramp up through the course of the year is a great advantage
because they can learn so much more.
 
I coach an all girls school in SC and one of the things
that struck me when I first started here was just how
uncoordinated and weak even our best athletes were. It’s
like they’d never played outside as kids — they couldn’t
even skip. Our school league allows everyone from 6th grade
up to compete at the varsity level. This causes coaching
headaches because the babies simply cannot do everything
the veterans can, although they want to try. The speed
drills have been a popular option, especially with the
younger girls, because they think they’re just playing,
but every week I see their form and coordination improve.

Strength, too. I anticipate having my first “real sprinters”
this spring in terms of strength and technique. As a team,
we were state runners-up last year and we’re still
improving. The CST methodology has proven very straight
forward to apply and really helps me organize my thoughts
when I’m planning our season.

John Slepetz

===========================================

questions you have about your team, athletes and program.

We often discuss the five biomotor skills (speed, strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination) when discussing the fundamentals of both speed and athletic development.

But the most important of these skills, in terms of enhancing speed or overall athletic ability is strength. There is a ceiling where progress will stop if an athlete does not actively develop physical strength.

Simply put, ‘strength’ can be defined as an ability to produce force (Siff 2001). But strength is one of those terms we frequently use as an umbrella term to describe it’s many varied functions.

Ultimately, strength can be expressed using different muscle actions.To read more about how to develop strength & power click below:

Yours in speed,

Patrick Beith 

P.S. – There are a number of factors that go into improving explosive strength. Learn how to develop them from Coach Latif Thomas by clicking the link below:

I subscribe to a ton of different athletic development related
newsletters and websites. Some I have to pay for. Others are
free.

Nevertheless, I get far more emails than I have time to read.

However, there is a common theme I see within the majority
of these emails. It’s been around for a while, but has become
even more prevalent lately.

It’s a marketing strategy (for lack of a better term) that
I call the ‘My Way or the Highway’ philosophy.

Or perhaps it’s a personal belief system.

Either way it’s something I’ve written about in the past.

I’m talking about the ones where the coach’s email articles,
promotions and advertising talks up their own coaching prowess
and program/s at the expense of all others.

You’ve seen this before haven’t you?

I’m paraphrasing for emphasis here, but the basic premise is
this:

‘I’m the #1 coach in my field. That makes my program the best.
Don’t buy other programs from other coaches because they are
morons. They haven’t coached as long as I have. They haven’t
been where I’ve been or done what I’ve done. Therefore, they
have nothing to offer. You can waste your time and money on
those programs, but then you’re as stupid as they are.’

Now don’t get me wrong. I don’t have a problem with being
confident or even a bit cocky. I’ve been accused of worse.

Your athletes should have a bit of a swagger when they step
on the track, field or court and that starts with you. 

I just try not to do it at the expense of others.

Take our Complete Speed Training program for example. I think
it’s the best out there. It’s certainly worked well for the
athletes I’ve coached. And our customers can’t say enough
good things about it:

“Your information helpS my track & field athletes perform
magic. (best performer, girl 15 year old running 100m 11.92
(electronic) and 200m 24.88 (electronic). she took part in
100m hurdles event for age 17 with a time of 14.61 two
weeks ago. In April 2007 won the South African Junior
Champion Ships for girls 15 (90m hurdles). Without Complete
Speed Training I do not think it would have been possible.

Dirk van Rensburg, South Africa
Or to keep it real simple:

“Purchasing your Complete Speed Training program was the
best coaching move I’ve ever made.”

Martin Capron, San Leandro, California

Many coaches out there would take this opportunity to remind
you how great they are.

But Patrick and I take a different approach.

We believe Complete Speed Training should be the foundation
of your coaching system. That using the program puts you
and your athletes in the best position to succeed.

Coaches and athletes from 72 different countries agree.

But we’re not going to tell you that other programs are
crap by comparison. Are they the *complete* package? Almost
without exception the answer is no.

But they are great *supplements* to Complete Speed Training
once you are ready to add new layers to your system.

That’s why we are rapidly expanding AthletesAcceleration.com
with content and resources.

But not just our own.

Because we believe you’ll become a better coach (and develop
faster, healthier athletes) when you have access to a large
variety of opinions and experiences. We leverage our access
to great coaches and their information and bring it directly
to you.

It’s why we spent an entire summer reviewing training
resources, only promoting the ones that meet our standards
of excellence.

Because there are a lot of coaches trying to get your attention
with every email. And, of course, it’s your right to choose
whose information you’re going to listen to.

At Athletes’ Acceleration we’re giving you a variety of
information from a variety of successful coaches. It’s not
just about how many state champions Latif Thomas has coached
or how many scholarships Patrick Beith has helped athletes
earn.

Every day we’re directing you to articles, interviews and
resources you can use to develop more successful athletes.
And everything we recommend we approve.

We’re all different and have different goals and needs. As
the saying goes - Variety is the spice of life.

So as you research which resources to purchase and which
‘experts’ to listen to, here is my personal advice:

Listen to the ones who make it about helping you, not
about glorifying themselves.

Listen to the ones who recognize the world is full of
successful coaches. And provide you with opportunities to
learn from them instead of trying to paint you into a corner.

Listen to the ones who continually give away valuable
information for free, instead of only ramming advertistements
down your throat.

Listen to the ones whose experiences with athletes you can
relate to instead of just talking about all the Olympic
Champions they deal with or the other coaches they can’t
stand.

Here is some insight to why I wrote you this email:

After I released my controversial interview with Barry Ross
I got bombarded with more emails than I’ve ever received.

Click here if you missed it:

==> http://www.athletesacceleration.com/interviews.html

I was both honored and surprised to learn how many of you
count on Athletes’ Acceleration to be your primary source of
cutting edge speed and athletic development information.

I firmly believe it is because we keep our focus on what you -
the coach, parent, trainer and/or athlete - wants to know.

So when you’re looking for information on developing better
athletes, check out the articles, audio interviews, blog entries,
answers to specific training questions and resources that
are updated each and every week here at Athletes’
Acceleration.

Soccer Speed.

Speed is arguably the most desired quality in soccer. In fact, many coaches determine team roster positions just on this quality alone. While speed does contribute to winning a game, the concept of speed is often lopsided.

Just what exactly do I mean?

Field and court based speed development programs usually focus on a player’s ability to start, in other words produce force. This is then supported in the weight room for strength development with practically all of the exercises focusing on this same quality of force production.
