My birthday gift to fellow track coaches

By Athletes' Acceleration | June 9th, 2009

Today is my birthday and I believe it’s better to give
than to receive. So as a fellow track coach, I
want to hook you up.

By now you’ve heard me talk about the results
I’ve gotten training sprinters, as well as my
step by step program Complete Program Design for
Sprinters.

You’ve probably even thought:

‘Looks interesting Latif. And you’re getting great
results, but (there’s always a ‘but’) I just
can’t justify the price right now. I don’t know if
it’s going to be too technical (or not technical
enough). If I could just take a look at the program
and see if I like it, I might be willing to take
a chance on it.’

Well, I agree. So here’s what I’m going to do:

From now until midnight Eastern on Friday June 12,
I’m going to let you test drive Complete Program
Design for Sprinters
for only $1.

Sign up and you’ll get immediate access to the site
(the program is entirely online so there’s nothing
to mail to you). Watch the modules, look at the
sample programs and test it out with your athletes
for 30 days.

After 30 days if you want to keep using the program
do nothing and I’ll bill you. If you don’t want it,
let me know and you won’t be charged the full price.

But you will lose access to the information and
all the follow up help I offer.

http://www.CompleteProgramDesignforSprinters.com

In fact, I’m going to take it one step further.

If you order between now and Friday, I’ll add a
free 30 minute phone consult with me *and* I’ll
critique your program and give you feedback so
you get it right.

So not only do you get the entire standard program,
but I’ll get on the phone with you and answer any
questions, as well as look at the sprints program
you create.

I’m offering this partly because I’m getting soft
in my old age, but also to help share my success
with you. Just last weekend the 4×100 relay defended
their state title from 2008 after breaking, literally,
every single record in the state.

Think your sprinters could benefit from that kind
of dominance? Me too.

So click here to test drive Complete Program Design
for Sprinters for only $1:

To your success,

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!!!”

Video Mailbag (volume 1)

By Athletes' Acceleration | June 1st, 2009

I get a lot of emails.

(Some better than others.)

So each week I’m going to be answering some
of the gems that end up in my inbox.

Instead of writing out the answers (which means
you’ll get less info), I’m recording the
answers on video where you’ll get more quality
training content…
