‘Those who are skilled in combat do not become angered, those who are skilled
at winning do not become afraid. Thus
the wise win before the fight, while the ignorant fight to win.’

Sun Tzu Art of War

Speed, agility and co-ordination are central to the success in any battle. Seeing opportunities before they are visible and being quick to act can be the difference between winning and losing.

Speed training is one of the best things you can do to improve your performance as an athlete. It doesn't matter what your starting point is, you can always get faster with the right combination of training, determination and hardwork. 

Speed is the measure of how fast an athlete can sprint short distances.

Quickness refers to the ability of an athlete to perform specific movements in the shortest possible time. 

 At iFit we aim to improve both speed and quickness based on your specific sport.

Our programs are a combination of research, practical knowledge and my own personal passion for speed, agility and quickness.

I have been fortunate enough to be trained by some of the best coaches in Australia and I use this knowledge combined with my own methods of training to improve player speed, agility and quickness.

Our own powermetrics program has been highly successful not just for athletes but for weight loss and strength conditioning.

There are three simple steps to effective speed training

• Focus on Movements, Not Muscles

  
  
  the body does not function in isolation when clients perform athletic-based movements. Athletic movements require the integration of the entire body to effectively produce and reduce forces during training and competition.




• Train the Planes

  
  
  ground-based activities occur in all three planes of movement (sagittal, frontal and transverse). Thus, our training programs include various exercises and drills that emphasise work in all three planes. This can easily be done with the use of many conditioning drills, free weight equipment and other training tools.




• Train Fast

  
  
  With the exception of power-lifting, few sports are performed slowly. While many individuals would argue that performing movements quickly in the weight room may be dangerous, speed is not the primary factor that would determine an injury; it is control. Athletes do not get hurt because they are going too fast; they get hurt because they are going fast and are out of control. If clients want to be fast, you must train fast.
  
  We select exercises that are more specific to the biomechanics of your chosen sport. At some point we must determine how much strength is necessary for an activity and how to maintain that strength while focusing on areas that may be deficient, such as speed or power.
  
  As you develop explosive technique, you'll  improve co-ordination between signals sent by nerve fibres in your muscles and response of muscle fibres. And, you will increase the efficiency with which your muscles convert fuel into energy.
