ABOUT THE COURSE

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPEED PILLARS AND ART OF ACCELERATION?

Speed Pillars is an overview of the three pillars of speed: start, acceleration, and max velocity. Art of Acceleration dives deeper into the acceleration pillar, providing you with the drills, profiling, and programming to implement with your team.

IS ART OF ACCELERATION FOR COACHES OR ATHLETES?

Although valuable for both, Art of Acceleration was created for coaches who want to learn how to implement an acceleration based program with their athletes.

HOW LONG WILL I HAVE ACCESS TO ART OF ACCELERATION?

Art of Acceleration is a one time purchase for unlimited access. You'll be able to refer to the drill library and all the videos inside the course forever.
