Les Spellman's global understanding of first principles in biomechanics and pragmatic pedagogical systems allows him to teach at all levels of development and in RTP settings.
Strength & Conditioning Coach
MARK FITZGERALD
Les possesses an attribute that only the great coaches have, and that's never being satisfied. The amount of detail and effort into every aspect of speed development is something I have not witnessed.

JONAS DODOO
Les has the ability to decipher the complex into simple and make it work for all his athletes. Highly recommend this course.
SCIENCE-BASED TRAINING
PROVEN SPEED RESULTS
It doesn't take "running a lot of reps" to improve speed. Developing speed is a science and in this course, I walk through my data-driven approach that has helped thousands of athletes improve this skill and excel in their sport.
CONTENT OVERVIEW
THE SPEED PILLARS
Pillar 1
THE START
The Start Phase is steps 0-2 and is the largest change in velocity over the course of the entire sprint.
Module Overview
- Starting from 2pt and 3pt stances
- Common errors and coaching cues
- Video review
Pillar 2
ACCELERATION
The Acceleration Phase is steps 3-10 and includes the transition to Max Velocity. Once you reach step 10, you'll typically see 80% of your max velocity reached.
Module Overview
- Key drills, patterns, coaching cues
- Summary of acceleration profiling
- In-depth technical model
- Video review
Pillar 3
MAx Velocity
The Max Velocity Phase is steps 10+. We want to go from 80% of our velocity to 100% of our max velocity. This is largely dependent on the amount of vertical force being produced into the ground.
Module Overview
- Key drills, patterns, coaching cues
- Summary of max velocity profiling
- In-depth technical models
- Video review
