Pursuit Speed Summit
Every athlete is tested with timing gates and force plates, the same technology used at the highest levels of sport. The testing measures how quickly they accelerate, how fast they reach top speed, and how much force they produce into the ground.
After testing, our coaches lead an education session for athletes and parents on what each result means, why some athletes plateau, and how to train each weakness.

Mastering Multidirectional Speed and Power for Performance
With Jason Feairheller, B.S., CSCS
Unlock the secrets to enhancing athletic performance with our Mastering Multidirectional Speed & Power for Performance seminar. This one-day, in-depth workshop is designed for coaches, trainers, and strength professionals who are dedicated to improving game speed in athletes across all sports. Whether you work with elite competitors or grassroots athletes, this course provides cutting-edge tools and methodologies to help athletes move more explosively and efficiently in any direction.
Throughout the seminar, you’ll gain a deep understanding of key concepts such as:
- Biomechanics of Movement Patterns: Learn the essential movement mechanics that drive speed, power, and efficiency in sports. Understand how to analyze and optimize movement in all planes of motion to improve overall athletic performance.
- Deceleration Techniques: Explore the critical role of deceleration in sport. Learn how to coach athletes to control speed, reduce injury risk, and transition effectively between explosive movements.
- Multidirectional Plyometrics: Dive into specialized plyometric drills designed to enhance explosive power and responsiveness in all directions, and accelerate performance under game conditions.
- Agility Development: Discover advanced methods for improving reactive agility, including drills that train the athlete to respond to game-specific demands and changes in direction.
- Advanced Speed Methods: Learn the most effective strategies for developing multidirectional speed, including cutting-edge approaches to visual training, and methods for creating separation between the upper and lower body.
This seminar is perfect for anyone working with athletes in any capacity, from youth sports to elite competition. Gain practical knowledge, actionable drills, and advanced coaching strategies that will immediately elevate your athletes’ game speed and movement efficiency.
Join us for this transformative one-day experience and take your coaching skills, and your athletes’ performance, to the next level.
