Welcome to Thomas Everett Athletics! I'd like to share my insight and knowledge of Speed Development and Performance Enhancement. If you are an athlete, coach, athletic trainer, strength and conditioning coach, or personal trainer interested in cutting-edge, optimized athletic development and rehabilitation techniques, there is information here to help you!

Let's talk speed! If you ask most parents in America what their child needs most in their development as a competitive athlete, you can pretty much cash it in they'll say the two words: "more speed!" Ask most coaches in America the skill or quality they want more in their players and guess what they'll probably say: "Speed!"

If an athlete can sustain his/her top speed for an acceptable distance, but is lacking in the acceleration department (and provided acceleration is important to performance) then training needs to focus on acceleration. On the other hand, if a player is quick off the mark and exemplifies adequate acceleration but lacks the ability to maintain top speed, then providing maintenance of maximal speed is important.
