Like riding a bike (Usain Bolt proves it)

By Athletes' Acceleration | April 29th, 2009

Running fast is similar to riding a bike.

The idea was reinforced to me this past weekend
when I was riding a bike around Boston with The
Fastest Man in History, Usain Bolt.

To find out what I mean and see some footage of
three Jamaican Olympians riding around Boston on
our bikes, just watch this video:

Complete Speed Training - Try Yours FREE

By Athletes' Acceleration | April 23rd, 2009

As coaches, we can all improve the way we teach
and train our athletes. If we keep doing the same
things we’ve always done, we won’t be able to keep
up with the teams and programs who are finding
newer and better ways to get more out of their
training.

Whether you’ve been looking at Complete Speed Training
for many months or just recently came across the
program, you’ve probably realized it’s the solution
to your training needs.

Because it takes all the areas your athletes need
to improve, regardless of sport, and shows you
step by step how to make them better. Coaches who
have invested in the program swear by it.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
“I have heard people say ‘you can’t teach speed.’
I can tell you, after just one month of using
Complete Speed Training, that is a huge myth. I
am a 46 year old man with a 13 year old son.
With only a month to go before he started football
we trained for 4 weeks. Both of us in that short
of a time made quantum leaps in our speed and
quickness. Oh my goodness. It is an enlightening
experience.

My biggest regret is not getting it sooner.
Seeing how much faster and quicker my son is,
feeling how much more spry I feel, I cannot say
enough. Anybody that cares about athletic
development should put what you teach to work.
Thank you.”

But no matter what people are saying, I know that
the price tag may be holding you back.

You may feel like you’re gambling with the $197
cost of the program. And that if it doesn’t work,
make sense or apply to your athletes, you’ll have
wasted the money!

You don’t need to worry about that any longer.

Because I’m going to let you test drive Complete
Speed Training for free
for the next 30 days.

Order the program, watch the videos, take some notes
and work with your athletes for the next month.

If you like Complete Speed Training, keep it and
pay for it. That’s fair.

If you don’t like it, send it back within 30 days
and we won’t charge you a dime.

You have nothing to lose. Because I’m confident you’ll
see how valuable the program is and won’t want to
send it back.

But this offer is only available until Friday!

To your success,

Latif Thomas

Why running slow times is good news

By Athletes' Acceleration | April 16th, 2009

If you’re doing all the right things in practice,
should your athletes be running fast times?

Not necessarily.

When this happens, some coaches panic and change
what they’re doing. And that’s a mistake I don’t
want you to make.

Especially when running slow can be *better* than
running fast.

During my radio show yesterday, the first three callers
in a row wanted to know why their athletes weren’t
running faster sprint times.

Here is my answer (Q&A starts roughly 6:00 into the show):

*This* is how you teach speed (video)

By Athletes' Acceleration | April 6th, 2009

Some people still tell me that you can’t make
someone faster.

That’s crazy talk.

Because if you can get your athletes to start
doing what I show you in this video, they will
decrease the time it takes them to get from
Point A to Point B.

And where I’m from that’s called getting faster:

“Latif, I am not kicking tires as to whether or
not to by complete speed training. I have owned
and and used this and other of your programs
with great success for almost two years now.
The material is great and very productive. I
have been coaching track and field for almost
40 years and am always looking to improve myself
and my athletes. This is the best pure speed
training Program I have seen in my years as a
coach. It reinforces many of the things we were
doing and gave me some very valuable new
information that has helped us greatly. Thanks
for your help and dedication to the sport and
coaching fraternity.”

“Hey Latif,

We are implementing your regimen during
speed sessions every Saturday for 6 weeks teaching
kids everything before Track and field starts. 
I have to admit I was skeptical, but it is the
most comprehensive program I have ever seen.”

“I am a 42 year old youth coach, I have been looking
for ways to teach my young athletes how to run
faster and be quicker on their feet.  I coach
football, basketball and baseball.  I have been
working with my own kids ages 7-11, giving them
some basics to build on.  Love the program!”

Ron Kurahara
“Hey Latif,

I just wanted to tell you how incredibly pleased
I was (am) with your speed tapes and other
training instuments. I was “old school” last year,
conducting the typical killer workouts (over
distance) with little recovery time, and not
enough speed, core or rest. At the end of last
year, I couldn’t figure out why my guy didn’t run
faster. However, this year, after reviewing your
acceleration tapes, and entirely changing my
“old school” mentality, the same guy made it to
State in both hurldes.

Thanks for a great product.”

Martin Capron
“Hi Latif, my name is Cristiano Paes, I’m a former
Brazilian Decathlete for 14 years, I also start
Bobsledding for the Brazilian Bobsled Team in
2001. In 2002 we qualified for the Salt Lake City
Olympic Games in the 4-man event - “The Frozen
Bananas”. In May of that year I moved to Canada
to train for Bobsled. In 2004 I started to compete
for the Canadian Team.

Today I coach many development and National level
athletes (my best athlete is Lascelles Brown Silver
Medalist in 2006 Italy for Canada in the 2-man
event), since that medal many low level athletes
has come to me to help them to bring their “game”
to the next level.  I have a degree in Physical
Education and 15 years of experience as Athlete
and 7 years coaching, like everyone else, I was
a little skeptical to order your Collection. When
I moved to Canada I didn’t speak
a word in English, and that was one of the reasons
that I order your product, thinking that would
help me with my weak link, and I was surprised/Amazed 
by the quality and quantity of excellent
information that you have putted together here. 

I already started to implement some of your ideas
to my program, yesterday a National Team coach
came to me and said, “It’s that a Brazilian technique
style”? And I just laughed, thinking with myself,
watch your back buddy- here I come.

Your product made me more confident of myself…

Thanks Latif…”

Your partner in training,

Cristiano Paes
