Be Faster is a unique program designed to improve athletic function by improving force absorption and force production in the body. We use next generation techniques that are proven to get World Class Results. We do not train in a sport specific or any other fad mantra that is out there today. Be Faster will catapult any athlete to their genetic potential because we train Movement Specific not sports specific.
What “Be Faster” ISN’T…
What “Be Faster ” IS…
This program will look and feel different than your average speed, agility, or plyo-metric programs. Why? Because it is different. Do to the technicality of what is being done we are limited to 16 athletes per two-month session. Athletes will perform a pre and post film evaluation of the movement patterns as well as a vertical jump test and fly 10m sprint (weather permitting).
