ART OF ACCELERATION
Your guide to programming for speed, built by Les Spellman - one of America's leading speed performance coaches.
Speed is the MOST underdeveloped skill. Start developing it with your athletes today.
THE STEP-BY-STEP PLAN TO INCREASE SPEED
Art of Acceleration is a five-module course that teaches you how to create an athlete's speed profile, analyze their data, and implement an individualized program.
WHAT ARE COACHES SAYING?
Collecting speed data is now easy, but analyzing and making sense of the data is hard. Les does a great job of outlining how to turn data into actionable training orientations for your team or club.

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.
