And the World’s Greatest Speed Coach is…. (video)

By Athletes' Acceleration | June 8th, 2009

This week I’m addressing one of the hottest topics
in the world of youth sports performance:

Who is the “World’s Greatest Speed Coach?”

Based on some of the emails I’ve been getting, I
can see it’s an emotional topic for some of you.

So I’m putting the topic to bed once and for all:

“Hey Latif,

Before I purchased your speed program I down loaded
and printed  out your speed training report. I
went through that report many times over a year.
That report looks like it went through hell and
back. I took it with me, when I knew I was going
to be waiting somewhere or even siting at the dinner
table, at home or out eating. My wife got a little
irritated with it and my kids; oh my kids , they
wanted to know what was driving dad to read this
pile of papers all the time. If we fast forward
to the present, the kids are starting to understand
a little more now. I purchased the speed program
March 2009 and I can say that I am very happy with
what I received
. I am a visual learner, so you
know what I did when I received the speed program.

I popped the DVD’s in one right after the other.
In all honesty I did do some reading I did do
disc 1 followed by disc 5, like you informed. I
can’t begin to explain how exciting, it has been
not just for me but for my kids and the kids I
train.
I am a club soccer coach and I believe that
being able to add new ways and ideas to training has
made a difference in the teams I coach.

Last year I did circuit training with my girls
soccer team (with out your speed program) and it
helped but in the second half of the season they
didn’t have the same energy they started with in
the first half of the season. I have taken a
look at the articles on your web site as well as
reading the speed book and I know what needs to
be done for this year and it’s because of “Latif”.

“I have been coaching sport related speed for a
number of years mainly to Rugby League Players,
however I have recently coached Track to several
athletes including my own son of 10 years of
who’m is the first I used Complete Program Design
for Sprinters
with.

I knew as soon as I looked over the program that
it was a good one and I began to see & get results
almost immediately. My 10 year old’s best 200 time
was 29.56 but he averaged 30 seconds & his PB 400
was 72.13 seconds, his 100m 14.8. We decided to
base our training on the 200-400m model and timed
the 12 weeks to perfection in terms of our city
championships and guess what Latif the results were
outstanding
. He won Gold in both the 400 & 200m @ 64.31
sec flat in the 400m & 28 sec flat in the 200m later
in the day. Thats a whopping 7+ seconds off what
he could do before starting (CPD)
a PB in the 200m
and the 100m @ 13.79 seconds. To say we were both
very pleased with these results is an understatement.

I would definately recommend this program to other
coaches and athletes, although not to my current
opposition as I feel it would be like a deadly
weapon they would use against me. But honestly
Latif, the step by step process of the phases
from general prep through to competition & on to
peaking is straightforward, easy to follow and
implement and as I coach & train footballers
understanding energy systems is easier when used
within this type of program. To sum it all up in
one word, BRILLIANT!!!”

    I am 55 years old and am using the free downloads to train for the senior games in N.J. in Sept.’09. So far after 1 month there has been a marked improvement and hopefully I will continue to improve until September. I will let you know how I did.

    Latif,

    You are a class act. As an elder statesman of speed training I’m very proud to have you as a colleague and sounding board. Your character and values are beyond reproach! Keep up the great work.

    Hey Latif,
    Your product have encouraged me to have self belief in myself and work. There are so many igorant people who should not be in our sport.I faced that on a regular basis.I have used your program and its has prove to me that it works. My athlete is currently ranked 2nd in the UK U17 boys (200mtrs) and others are progressing as well.As for the statement, it can connot be justify because there are various factors to determined such term. Keep the good work. Prince Duwai. London, UK.
