#1 The Warm-Up System

  • Discover the complete warm-up system that has prepared Lee’s athletes for the best performances of their lives; how to prepare the muscles before anything else is done, how to activate and energize the neuro-muscular system, when and how to use corrective stretching, and how to perform a proper dynamic warm-up regardless of the age and ability of the athletes.
  • A post-warm-up continuation of stability and balance training. This might be the missing link that many coaches never use to properly bring athletes along. This section has helped us to keep our athletes moving at their best.

#2 Revisiting Ground Breaking 1

  • Many coaches have misunderstood the key message of what Ground Breaking 1 was all about. Lee clears up any misconceptions and helps you make it crystal clear, moving forward, as a multi-directional speed coach.
  • You will have a clear understanding of how and why Lee preaches what he does about the Plyo-Step, Hip Turn, Crossover, Directional Step, and much more.

#3 Cutting

  • This might be one of the most misunderstood areas of athletic speed. Lee makes absolutely sure you have no doubt what an athlete needs to do when it comes to cutting.
  • Cutting can take many shapes and sizes depending on the situation. Lee clears up exactly how the footwork should be executed across over 5 major cutting patterns that athletes commonly use on the court and field.
  • Lee wants you to know why the common method most coaches, physical therapists, and trainers teach you is not only bad for performance but could also be setting your athletes up for injury.
  • Discover why and when an athlete has to sit into the cut and when he or she must explode with speed through the cut for maximum performance.
  • Watch Lee live with athletes and see how he does not overcoach them but simply cues them when they make a mistake. VERY IMPORTANT!

#4 Deceleration and Acceleration

  • Lee ends the argument about which leg is used in deceleration ONCE AND FOR ALL. He clearly outlines which leg is used, when, and why. He has preached this for years, and too many coaches are missing the point. Lee fears that athletes will get hurt if coaches keep emphasizing the wrong technique. He clears this up for you immediately!
  • Discover why the shoulders can make or break the work that the legs and feet do. If the shoulders are out of alignment during deceleration or acceleration, the athlete’s movement will be slower.
  • Lee shares the key cues that can make you look like a magic worker with your athletes. Athletes will no longer have questions about how to decelerate or accelerate properly- you will coach them perfectly.
  • You will have a foolproof progression for coaching deceleration and acceleration. Watch and see how simple Lee keeps his acceleration progression. You will immediately see how you can add to these progressions to have a season’s worth of skills and exercises to coach your athletes through- for any sport!
  • Lee shares with you and makes it crystal clear why you must coach acceleration to fully complete deceleration mechanics. If you get nothing else out of the enormous coaching course, you must understand the concept of finishing deceleration by adding acceleration!

#5 Jumping and Landing

  • It will become completely apparent as to why you must coach the athletes on landing mechanics first. If you skip this step, you might as well forget about getting optimal performance out of your athletes- plus you probably lead them down the road to injury.
  • Find out how to progress the athletes from jumping and all the variations to leaping and its variations, and finally to hopping and all of its variations.
  • Lee shows you the exact mechanics for every jump, leap, and hop. From the most basic exercise to the highly advanced, you will know how to coach jumping and Plyometrics.
  • Discover how you can implement training tools to improve and assess jumping, like Vertimax, Vertec, and low 4-inch boxes, all the way up to big 30-inch boxes.
  • Do you think using boxes is always a more difficult progression? Lee shows you why you might be wrong and when to think differently.

#6 Olympic Lifting

  • Lee absolutely loves coaching Olympic Lifting. You will see why in this instructional speed coaching video.
  • Discover the simple yet most effective progression for teaching any athlete how to perform the basic clean, snatch, jerk, and all the variations.
  • It is important that you watch and listen to how you can easily introduce these skills to younger athletes. Lee taught his 8-year-old daughter how to perform the clean and snatch in one day.
  • You are not only training competitive lifters. You are coaching athletes on how to use their bodies to accelerate quickly and generate power and quickness. Olympic lifts are a great tool to do just that, and Lee will show you exactly how you can coach your athletes for success in the lifts.
  • Lee shares with you how you can use PVC pipes, DB’s, and light training bars to bring about confidence in your athletes.
  • For those of you who want to know how to perform the competitive lift, clean and jerk, and the snatch from the floor, Lee shows you exactly how it is done.
  • Racking the bar on the shoulders during the clean is vital for safety and effectiveness. He demonstrates to you exactly how to coach this to your athletes. Receiving the bar with locked out arms directly in the line of most stability is the goal in the snatch.
