SPRINT/SPEED DEVELOPMENT - COACH JAMES GOSS
Sport skills camps are very common in this day and age of younger and more talented multi-sport athletes. Although many athletes acquire great skills, the actual athletic ability, strength, and speed to successfully utilize those skills in the competitive athletic environment is lacking.
Upstate Speed Elite offers an opportunity to learn proper training methods used to increase speed, agility and acceleration within all sports.
We train athletes to maximize their speed by teaching them the proper running/sprinting mechanics through a variety of training techniques. This will maximize an athletes ability to utilize force summation through muscular coordination and ground based propulsion. Ground based exercises are key to training all of the body’s muscles and allow for a greater transfer from training to the athletic arena.
We offer training based on sound scientific principles, continuing research, and experience. You will work hard and you will be given the best chance to succeed in your sport.
The Upstate Speed Elite program offers innovative speed training techniques as well as in depth strength training instruction, including specific drills and form sets, lateral movement and acceleration patterns. We will help improve athletes in their specific sport and even prepare them for any high school or future college tests (40 yard dash, beep test, pro agility, etc...)
