ATTENTION: SWFL Coaches and Parents!

Introduce YOUR Athletes to Game-Changing Speed Skills to Increase Confidence and Performance!

with the “Speed Guy,” Lee Taft’s JumpStart Speed Clinic

Let’s Get YOUR Athletes Faster!

How will Athletes Improve Speed with a JumpStart Clinic?

  • Athletes will be instructed not only on the “HOW” but also the “WHY.” Athletes will walk away with empowerment.
  • Athletes will learn to sharpen their cutting and change of direction.
  • Athletes will discover acceleration, in any direction, is a product of body position and where to push.
  • The exact same techniques that will increase their change of direction ability will drastically reduce the potential for silly ankle sprains and knee injuries.
  • Athletes will understand how “reacting” from the proper posture and stance setup will allow them to explode out of their stance so much faster, selling them on doing things the right way!

Who better to show you how to gain unstoppable speed than

“The Speed Guy” himself, Lee Taft? 

Coach,

Since the early ’90s, I have directed hundreds of camps and clinics. Through these experiences, I have discovered the pros and cons of the various styles and systems. I made notes of what coaches and athletes wanted and, better yet, needed.

If you are the type of coach who is ALWAYS striving to help athletes grow and get the necessary speed training to reach unlimited capabilities…

Then you’re in the right place…

Hi, I’m Lee Taft.

In sports performance circles, I’m widely known as “The Speed Guy” and respected as one of the top athletic movement specialists in the world. 

For over 35 years, I’ve trained athletes of all ages and abilities and taught my multi-directional speed methods to top performance coaches and fitness professionals worldwide.

Here’s why this is important for you:

Speed is ESSENTIAL for ALL Athletes – Athletes Today Are Bigger, Faster, Quicker.

As a result, I took all my systems, strategies, drills, and skills and eliminated low-return components.

Basically, I removed “the fluff” and injected all high-quality power-packed information that has a deep impact.

In doing so, I deliver the most powerful “game-changing” techniques and training methods in a shorter time. Two things happened due to this restructuring:

  • I constructed a system that allowed much greater athlete retention of the skills they learned due to the importance of the techniques and their personal performance.
  • I could tap into what I call “The Sweet Spot of Learning.” After many years of trial and error, I found that a 2-hour speed and quickness clinic was about the max for ideal focus and learning absorption by athletes. After this amount of time, they lose focus, and the important information being coached becomes lost.

Here is a Quick Clinic Overview…

Here’s What a Few Coaches Had to Say…

“The Jump Start Speed Clinic does exactly what the name suggests; it gives athletes and coaches a great start to learning quick drills and skills to get athletes faster! We were fortunate to have Lee run a clinic, with his demoing daughter Jae, with approximately 50 of our female multi-sport athletes grades 7-12, some novice and some more elite. All of the girls came away feeling energized about being better movers! Our coaches left with a toolbox of drills and cue words to reinforce with the athletes in practice.”
Erin Lloyd (Varsity Field Hockey & Varsity Girl’s Lacrosse), Schuylerville, NY
“I have been to a few clinics with Lee Taft and am always been amazed at his teaching ability. It does not matter the age of the participants, from the youngest to college-level athletes, and he can reach them all. He doesn’t just put athletes thru drills he breaks down the what, why, how, when, and where of each movement so all can learn. All athletes can benefit from his training. He will make you a better athlete.”
Kris SimpsonFormer Professional Basketball player, Basketball Coach
“We recently invited Lee Taft to the Corinth School District for a two-hour speed clinic. Our population of athletes consisted of an array of students in grades 7 – 12. As a Varsity coach, Athletic Director, and Physical Educator, it was refreshing to see over 50 students working hard, learning proper techniques, and loving the way Lee presented. Lee brings expertise in so many areas of speed training. He is an incredible motivator who trains with great intensity and expects the same intensity from each student-athlete. I firmly believe that if any coach is willing and ready to take their athletic programs to the next level, then Lee is the person that will get you there. We would welcome Lee back with open arms, as would all our student-athletes. Thank you, Lee Taft.”!
Hilary HaskellAthletic Director, Corinth High School, Corinth, NY
“All athletes can benefit from Lee Taft’s training. He has spent many years developing the skills necessary to develop ALL athletes to move better. There is never a wasted teaching moment, and his innate ability to reach all levels of athletes is the best I have ever seen. The guy is known worldwide for a reason. HE GETS RESULTS!”
Rod Root Sports Performance Coach, Teamwork Bloomington
