Training and Program Related Answers
Absolutely. As you know, dry land training is a critical part of success in these sports. All the training components (outside of the emphasis on speed work itself) still apply to these sports in very specific ways. Therefore, warming up, conditioning, flexibility, strength, power and coordination must be addressed to achieve optimal results. What is the youngest age athletes should start with the training in CST? [top] Athletes as young as 8 years old can benefit from the principles in Complete Speed Training. However, training for athletes in this age group should be very informal, low volume and short in length. The principles in Complete Speed Training should be modified into fun games that teach proper skills in a stress free format. How to do this is a great topic of conversation for your free phone consult. I don’t live in the US. Will the DVDs play in my country? [top] Yes! The Complete Speed
Training DVD program, as well as all Athletes' Acceleration,
Inc. programs, do not use regional coding. Therefore, the DVDs
will play anywhere in the world with no issues. I need training for a specific sport. But your program seems to apply to all sports, how will that help me? [top] The fact is that a need for sport specific training for non-elite athletes is a myth. Developing the speed of an athlete, regardless of sport, requires improving their overall athletic ability by developing the 5 biomotor skills required for success in any sport: speed, strength, coordination, flexibility and endurance. We will use the same principles in soccer as we would in football, track and field, rugby, etc. In fact, you can click here to listen to my recent conversation on the topic with Strength and Conditioning Hall of Famer Al Vermeil. Al is the only Strength and Conditioning Coach to work for the NFL, NBA *and* MLB. He's also the only coach ever to earn a World Championship ring in both the NFL (49ers) and the NBA (Bulls). Listen here: While some modifications will have to be made between sports based on the energy system demands of that particular sport, the foundation that we lay for young athletes (age 8-18) is going to be universal. Ask any elite coach and they will tell you the need for ‘sport specialization’ in terms of training design is a common mistake made far too often by coaches and parents. I’d like to get your program, but I can’t afford it. [top] We stand by the price of the Complete Speed Training program and firmly believe it is well worth the price. However, you have the option of breaking up the cost into easy payments. Do you have video clips of the drills and exercises in the program that I can see before I buy? [top] When you sign up for our free report on the ‘7 Secrets of Superior Speed’ each part of the report contains a video packed with speed training information as well as video clips of some of the key exercises in the program. Due to the fact that Complete Speed Training is a system that requires all the pieces fitting together, we do not have an excessive amount of videos of drills and exercises for you to see because one drill here or an exercise there can have no significant impact on performance What if I don’t like the program, can I return it? [top] Yes. Our program comes with a rock solid, 100%, 60 Day, Money Back Guarantee. If you don’t think Complete Speed Training is the best program you’ve ever seen on speed training or question if you received a fair return on your original investment, simply return the program to us and we’ll buy it back for 100% of your purchase price, no questions asked.

Do I really have 60 days to return the program if its not for me? What’s the catch? [top] There’s no catch! We understand that most sports train in more than just one season, so we want you to have ample time to utilize our program. And admittedly returns are a rarity… But simply put, if you decide within a 60 days from the anniversary date of your original purchase that our program doesn’t work for you for any reason – simply return it to us using the slip we sent with your original order. And we will refund your entire purchase price. (Or call/email us and we will provide you will return instructions. How long will it take for me/my athlete(s) to see results? [top] This depends on a number of variables. Athletes with glaring mechanical and postural problems could see immediate improvements. However with most athletes it will take several weeks before consistent improvements begin to take place. It is important that coaches, parents and athletes be realistic about rate of improvement. No program can distort physics or change the human body. Therefore it takes time to make the overall improvements that lead to long term athletic success. Any program that promises to take an athlete from JV to State Champ in 14 days is simply lying to you. Complete Speed Training is a system that is designed to give, primarily, the coach or parent a system for developing long term athletic success. If the primary goal is to drop .4 seconds off an athletes 40 time in the next week or take 1.0 seconds off their 100m time because States are in 2 weeks then Complete Speed Training is not the program for you. Such improvements are not realistic 99.9% of the time. Do I need any special (additional) equipment to use your program? [top] Our Complete Speed Training program does not require additional equipment. However, we strongly suggest investing in: - An agility ladder We also recommend finding access to track and field hurdles for dynamic mobility exercises. How involved do I need to be to help my athletes? [top] As involved as it takes. This depends on the level of skill your athletes currently possesses. Your athletes will need guidance and a skilled eye to make corrections to technique and ensure consistency of effort. Complete Speed Training will give you the tools to make these assessments and over time athletes will be able to not only do more and more on their own, but also be active participants in breaking down their own training and making accurate assessment of what they need. How much do I need to know? [top] As you watch the videos you’ll start to pick up on weaknesses held by your athletes. But this varies by each individual athlete. The important thing to remember is that their progress depends entirely on the amount of knowledge you bring to their training, so the more you know, the more they succeed. How do I incorporate your program while my athlete is already being coached by his/her school (sport) coach? [top] We firmly believe that it is always better to err on the side of undertraining as opposed to overtraining. If your athlete is currently ‘in season’ but you made the realization her/his coach does not currently possess the skill set to help your child, there are certainly modifications that can be made outside of practice to aid in their improvement. But, the fact is, sometimes there is nothing that *should* be done until the offseason. How to best decide is a question that I usually find smartest to answer during our phone consultation because more training, even if it is the correct training, is not always the answer. But once I know more about your athlete, I can give better advice. I am an older athlete, is this program too much for me? [ top] Absolutely not. Complete Speed Training is currently being used by countless Masters Athletes in sports ranging from Track and Field and Flag Football to Swimming, Softball and Tennis. For older athletes, we must account for your current level of conditioning and physical health. This usually means reducing the volume and frequency of workouts, as well as taking more time to ‘get up to full speed’ to ensure you stay injury free. The information in the product will give you a solid foundation for your training and your phone consult will help me to help you put together a specific plan based on your abilities and the time you have to train. Will you write me a workout program? [top] Our Complete Speed Training program comes with 4 week training Program that covers every exercise, set and rep for each day, from start to finish. With your consult, we’ll help you put a specific plan in place by tying up any loose ends you have. But we can not write you a specific workout plan, we simply do not have the time.. Do you offer any sport specific programs to go with my CST program? [top] ‘Sport Specific’ is a term we should remove from our vocabularies for the most part, unless we are training elite athletes. While there are certainly some differences between sports for youth (age 8-18) athletes, i.e., soccer requires more aerobic work than football, the foundational training required for all athletes, regardless of age, sport or gender, is essentially the same. However, to supplement your Complete Speed Training program, we do recommend the following resources. Many of our customers order one or both of these programs with our Complete Speed Training program: Complete Olympic
Lifting DVD North-South Football
Speed DVD/CD When was this program created? [top] Complete Speed Training was first available for sale online January 2005. It was updated for international DVD players and clarity the following year. How do I know it is state-of-the-art material? [top] Athletic development is not fashion or computers, so it won’t go out of style or become obsolete. This training system is rooted in science and experience and has worked with athletes at all levels and sports. Of course, if you don’t think the information is ‘current’ enough for your needs, you can simply return the program within 365 days for a full refund. Will this program help me lose weight? [top] While not structured to be a weight loss program, many customers who wish to lose weight have found the exercises and workouts contained in our Complete Speed Training program to be a definite benefit for their weight loss goals. Do I need to be on a specific diet for this program to work best? [top] No, but you need to eat healthy. That means drink plenty of water, stay away from processed foods, eat fruits and vegetables, etc. We are not nutritionists so we can not dispense nutritional advice.
