			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is my birthday and I believe it&#8217;s better to give<br />
than to receive. So as a fellow track coach, I<br />
want to hook you up.</p>
<p>By now you&#8217;ve heard me talk about the results<br />
I&#8217;ve gotten training sprinters, as well as my<br />
step by step program <a target="_blank" href="http://www.completeprogramdesignforsprinters.com">Complete Program Design for<br />
Sprinters.</a></p>
<p>You&#8217;ve probably even thought:</p>
<p>&#8216;Looks interesting Latif. And you&#8217;re getting great<br />
results, but (there&#8217;s always a &#8216;but&#8217;) I just<br />
can&#8217;t justify the price right now. I don&#8217;t know if<br />
it&#8217;s going to be too technical (or not technical<br />
enough). If I could just take a look at the program<br />
and see if I like it, I might be willing to take<br />
a chance on it.&#8217;</p>
<p>Well, I agree. So here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to do:</p>
<p>From now until midnight Eastern on Friday June 12,<br />
I&#8217;m going to let you <a target="_blank" href="http://www.completeprogramdesignforsprinters.com">test drive Complete Program<br />
Design for Sprinters</a> for only $1.</p>
<p>Sign up and you&#8217;ll get immediate access to the site<br />
(the program is entirely online so there&#8217;s nothing<br />
to mail to you). Watch the modules, look at the<br />
sample programs and test it out with your athletes<br />
for 30 days.</p>
<p>After 30 days if you want to keep using the program<br />
do nothing and I&#8217;ll bill you. If you don&#8217;t want it,<br />
let me know and you won&#8217;t be charged the full price.</p>
<p>But you will lose access to the information and<br />
all the follow up help I offer.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.completeprogramdesignforsprinters.com/">http://www.CompleteProgramDesignforSprinters.com</a></p>
<p>In fact, I&#8217;m going to take it one step further.</p>
<p>If you order between now and Friday, I&#8217;ll add a<br />
free 30 minute phone consult with me *and* I&#8217;ll<br />
critique your program and give you feedback so<br />
you get it right.</p>
<p>So not only do you get the entire standard program,<br />
but I&#8217;ll get on the phone with you and answer any<br />
questions, as well as look at the sprints program<br />
you create.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m offering this partly because I&#8217;m getting soft<br />
in my old age, but also to help share my success<br />
with you. Just last weekend the 4&#215;100 relay defended<br />
their state title from 2008 after breaking, literally,<br />
every single record in the state.</p>
<p>Think your sprinters could benefit from that kind<br />
of dominance? Me too.</p>
<p>So click here to test drive Complete Program Design<br />
for Sprinters for only $1:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.completeprogramdesignforsprinters.com/">http://www.CompleteProgramDesignforSprinters.com</a></p>
<p>To your success,</p>

</script></p>
<p>&#8220;Hey Latif,</p>
<p>Before I purchased your <a target="_blank" href="http://www.completespeedtraining.com">speed program </a>I down loaded<br />
and printed  out your speed training report. I<br />
went through that report many times over a year.<br />
That report looks like it went through hell and<br />
back. I took it with me, when I knew I was going<br />
to be waiting somewhere or even siting at the dinner<br />
table, at home or out eating. My wife got a little<br />
irritated with it and my kids; oh my kids , they<br />
wanted to know what was driving dad to read this<br />
pile of papers all the time. If we fast forward<br />
to the present, the kids are starting to understand<br />
a little more now. I purchased the speed program<br />
March 2009 and I can say that <strong>I am very happy with<br />
what I received</strong>. I am a visual learner, so you<br />
know what I did when I received the speed program.</p>
<p>I popped the DVD&#8217;s in one right after the other.<br />
In all honesty I did do some reading I did do<br />
disc 1 followed by disc 5, like you informed. <strong>I<br />
can&#8217;t begin to explain how exciting, it has been<br />
not just for me but for my kids and the kids I<br />
train.</strong> I am a club soccer coach and I believe that<br />
being able to add new ways and ideas to training has<br />
made a difference in the teams I coach.</p>
<p>Last year I did circuit training with my girls<br />
soccer team (with out your speed program) and it<br />
helped but in the second half of the season they<br />
didn&#8217;t have the same energy they started with in<br />
the first half of the season. I have taken a<br />
look at the articles on your web site as well as<br />
reading the speed book and I know what needs to<br />
be done for this year and it&#8217;s because of &#8220;Latif&#8221;.</p>

<p>PS Thank you, for being you.</p>
<p>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</p>
<p>&#8220;I have been coaching sport related speed for a<br />
number of years mainly to Rugby League Players,<br />
however I have recently coached Track to several<br />
athletes including my own son of 10 years of<br />
who&#8217;m is the first I used <a target="_blank" href="http://www.completeprogramdesignforsprinters.com">Complete Program Design<br />
for Sprinters </a>with.</p>
<p>I knew as soon as I looked over the program that<br />
it was a good one and I began to see &amp; get results<br />
almost immediately. My 10 year old&#8217;s best 200 time<br />
was 29.56 but he averaged 30 seconds &amp; his PB 400<br />
was 72.13 seconds, his 100m 14.8. We decided to<br />
base our training on the 200-400m model and timed<br />
the 12 weeks to perfection in terms of our city<br />
championships and guess what Latif <strong>the results were<br />
outstanding</strong>. He won Gold in both the 400 &amp; 200m @ 64.31<br />
sec flat in the 400m &amp; 28 sec flat in the 200m later<br />
in the day. Thats <strong>a whopping 7+ seconds off what<br />
he could do before starting (CPD)</strong> a PB in the 200m<br />
and the 100m @ 13.79 seconds. To say we were both<br />
very pleased with these results is an understatement.</p>
<p>I would definately recommend this program to other<br />
coaches and athletes, although not to my current<br />
opposition as I feel it would be like a deadly<br />
weapon they would use against me. But honestly<br />
Latif, the step by step process of the phases<br />
from general prep through to competition &amp; on to<br />
peaking is straightforward, easy to follow and<br />
implement and as I coach &amp; train footballers<br />
understanding energy systems is easier when used<br />
within this type of program. <strong>To sum it all up in<br />
one word, BRILLIANT!!!&#8221;</strong></p>

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.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As coaches, we can all improve the way we teach<br />
and train our athletes. If we keep doing the same<br />
things we&#8217;ve always done, we won&#8217;t be able to keep<br />
up with the teams and programs who are finding<br />
newer and better ways to get more out of their<br />
training.</p>
<p>Whether you&#8217;ve been looking at <a target="_blank" href="http://completespeedtraining.com/free.html">Complete Speed Training</a><br />
for many months or just recently came across the<br />
program, you&#8217;ve probably realized it&#8217;s the solution<br />
to your training needs.</p>
<p>Because it takes all the areas your athletes need<br />
to improve, regardless of sport, and shows you<br />
step by step how to make them better. Coaches who<br />
have invested in the program swear by it.</p>
<p>=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<br />
<em>&#8220;I have heard people say &#8216;you can&#8217;t teach speed.&#8217;<br />
I can tell you, after just one month of using<br />
Complete Speed Training, that is a huge myth. I<br />
am a 46 year old man with a 13 year old son.<br />
With only a month to go before he started football<br />
we trained for 4 weeks. Both of us in that short<br />
of a time made quantum leaps in our speed and<br />
quickness. Oh my goodness. It is an enlightening<br />
experience. </em></p>
<p><em>My biggest regret is not getting it sooner.<br />
Seeing how much faster and quicker my son is,<br />
feeling how much more spry I feel, I cannot say<br />
enough. Anybody that cares about athletic<br />
development should put what you teach to work.<br />
Thank you.&#8221; </em><br />
<em>John Reagan<br />
Monterey, California<br />
</em>-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-</p>
<p>But no matter what people are saying, I know that<br />
the price tag may be holding you back.</p>
<p>You may feel like you&#8217;re gambling with the $197<br />
cost of the program. And that if it doesn&#8217;t work,<br />
make sense or apply to your athletes, you&#8217;ll have<br />
wasted the money!</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t need to worry about that any longer.</p>
<p>Because I&#8217;m going to let you <a target="_blank" href="http://completespeedtraining.com/free.html">test drive Complete<br />
Speed Training for free</a> for the next 30 days.</p>
<p>Order the program, watch the videos, take some notes<br />
and work with your athletes for the next month.</p>
<p>If you like Complete Speed Training, keep it and<br />
pay for it. That&#8217;s fair.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t like it, send it back within 30 days<br />
and we won&#8217;t charge you a dime.</p>
<p>You have nothing to lose. Because I&#8217;m confident you&#8217;ll<br />
see how valuable the program is and won&#8217;t want to<br />
send it back.</p>
<p>But <a target="_blank" href="http://completespeedtraining.com/free.html">this offer is only available until Friday!</a></p>
<p>To your success,</p>
<p>Latif Thomas</p>
<p>P.S. What else are people saying about Complete<br />
Speed Training?</p>

Not necessarily.
When this happens, some coaches panic and change

<p>Especially when running slow can be *better* than<br />
running fast.</p>
<p>During my radio show yesterday, the first three callers<br />
in a row wanted to know why their athletes weren&#8217;t<br />
running faster sprint times.</p>
<p>Here is my answer (Q&amp;A starts roughly 6:00 into the show):</p>
