When Patrick and I first quit our regular jobs and started Athletes’ Acceleration, everyone said we were morons.

People we thought we could trust made excuses not to promote our camps and clinics.

(People *want* to see you fail, believe me.)

I asked a few coaches I knew about making a training video in their area of expertise and they basically ignored me.

Well fast forward a few years and man have things changed!

Every day we get requests, from all over the world, to run camps, present at clinics or promote someone’s training product.

People have offered to fly in from other countries so I’ll work with their athletes.

And Patrick has a back log of people willing to pay big money for him to fix the holes in their business models.

So how did I go from almost being arrested at my first camp to getting bombarded with requests in just a few years?

Patrick just released a new video going into why most sports/fitness businesses fail.

It all goes back to something Charles Darwin said.

So listen to Darwin. And listen to Patrick. Or there’s a good chance your business won’t be around too long.

P.S. In the video Patrick talks about the single most important part of running a successful business in the 21st Century.

If you’re not focusing on this, you have *no* chance.

It’s that simple.

If you missed my teleseminar on training sprinters,
you can listen to it here:

With all the information and support you get as part of
your Complete Program Design for Sprinters investment,
it’s easy for certain things to get overlooked.

In my experience, one of the most valuable parts of the
program is the monthly live Q&A call where I answer any
questions you have about writing workouts, problems with
athletes, etc.

So I’m giving you access to the replay of my last
live broadcast held just a couple weeks ago.

It’s over an hour of answers to specific training
questions. We do this every month in addition to
all the content you get in the program.

To your success,

Latif Thomas

P.S. My offer ends tonight at 11:30pm Eastern Standard
Time (Boston, Massachusetts). So if you want to save
over 50% on Complete Program Design *and* get the

A few years ago Patrick Beith and I quit our jobs
and started Athletes’ Acceleration.

I was a Special Education teacher and Patrick was
waking up at 4am every day to go train clients at
a gym.

Everyone said we were crazy and nearly everyone thought
we’d fail.

We started out running speed clinics, created a
product, went online and established a presence on
the internet.

We’ve made a few mistakes over the years. After
all we have no business background.

But here we are in 2009. Our business is growing
faster than we can handle even though the economy
is sputtering and many industries are struggling.

Here’s the bottom line:

If you’re a coach or trainer and you’ve ever thought
about running speed clinics or sports camps, now
is a truly a great time to make that a priority.

Patrick put together a really cool video that
tells his story and shows you exactly how you can
leverage your passion for working with athletes into
a profitable summer job or full time business.

There are no flaming hoops to jump through and you
don’t have to sign up for anything to watch it.

If we can do it, you can do it. We’re here to help
you in the same way we help you develop your athletes’
speed and athletic performance.

So go check out that video.

P.S. If you’ve ever coached an athlete or team,
trained a client at a gym, run a Phys Ed class you
really need to watch this video. It’ll change the
way you look at things.

Watch this video (or else)

I can sit here and tell you how what an impressive
coaching resume I have and how many titles my athletes
have won and show you all my coaching awards.

I can sit here and tell you those things until I’m
blue in the face.

But you’re going to half ignore me because you think
it’s just a bunch of marketing hype.

So I’m cool with you taking what I say with a grain
of salt.

But if this video from CST fan Bill Entwistle doesn’t
change the way you look at things then we may just
have to go our separate ways…
