Many parents are coming to us saying the same thing.
Our child is a good athlete, but he/she is just so slow. The running
form isn't where it needs to be and that initial burst isn't there like it is
with some kids. The fear is that if the speed is not improved it will come
to hurt the athlete as he/she gets older when teams actually have tryouts and
then cuts.
You as a parent know what's needed to be done and some of you
actually have the knowledge to help your child. But, as a parent I know
this only to well, your child does not listen to you at all when it comes to
your suggestions about how speed can be improved. What the heck does
mom and dad know? I've had parents of clients who were collegiate athletes
at the highest level send their kids to me because the kid just wouldn't listen.
Then, there is also the myth that your speed cannot be
developed. If you are fast it is all-natural and if you are slow, well you
better get used to it.
Wouldn't you like to see your athlete get just a little
faster and just a little more light on the feet? You're not asking for
lightning quickness, but just enough where every so often he/she was the one
blowing by the defender, getting to the loose ball first, or legging out the
infield hit.
Wouldn't you want just enough quickness and speed to just see
your athlete look a little more confident when playing?
Well, I'm here to tell you that I've been speed training for
over 15 years and have created a speed program that can help all of the above
scenarios. I've constantly been studying and tweaking and feel that this
speed program will be the answer to all those questions. Just hear what
some of Central Ohio's finest coaches had to say about the program.
[When you see Sports Conditioning Specialists, that was the old
speed training facility I had in Gahanna where I first did speed training]
"Sports
Conditioning Specialists have helped a number of our athletes make incredible
progress as soccer players at the highest levels of high school soccer. Thanks
to SCS we've seen very good players become all-district, All-Ohio and even NSCAA
All-American! Adam and his staff do an incredibly thorough, dedicated and
dynamic job with the athletes they help develop."
- Scott Dempsey, girls soccer coach at Bexley High School and owner of
1 state title..
"Speed kills and I am a firm believer that what you do in
the weight room translates to speed on the football field. We had a
strength program in place, but when Adam took over, he fine tuned it and
made it workable and efficient. Our workouts were shorter, but we
were still getting stronger and faster.
Our state championship football team was built for speed. Yeah,
we had fast guys naturally, but it was the speed developed from the other
guys that surprised the coaches and myself. I would definitely
recommend this Speed and Strength training program to anyone who needs to
get their team to that next level." -
Jim Collis, Head Football Coach of the 2003
State Champion Columbus Academy Vikings.
"This
was the most prepared our girls have been at the beginning of practice in
October. Adam Kessler was very professional and challenged our girls to
reach their optimum level." - Dave Butcher, girls basketball
coach at Pickerington North and owner of 6 state titles.
"We hired Adam for a two week boot camp at the beginning
of this pre-season. I think it helped immensely and we will be doing it
again next year." Erik Feinstein, boys soccer coach at Canal
Winchester.
Who Am I And Why Should You Trust Me To
Get Your Athlete Faster?
This is a fair question and you can read a
lot of my story by clicking here and reading the About Us
page.
Let me just add by saying, it takes a little
more than watching a few speed videos to get individuals faster. You also
can't rest on past athletic achievements to be able to coach an athlete how to
get faster. It takes years of experience and application to get a system
down that is successful and I feel that I have created the speed program that
does that.
I also like to create a family type
atmosphere. Everyone that trains with Fitness Planning Consultants, should
feel a special bond where everybody is encouraging everybody to succeed.
Our more experienced athletes are helping the less experienced athletes. I
want to create a lot of positive vibes that will transfer over when the athletes
go back to playing for their teams.
And yes, I want to get them faster and they
usually do get faster. Click here to take a
look at some of the athletes that I have worked with.
Why Should I Send My Athlete To Speed
Train At Your Facility And Not Somewhere Else?
Speed training boils down to two things: improving
running mechanics and improving leg power. But, how each person
goes about doing that is based on physical maturity, what their issues are that
we need to correct, and how fast they are able to process the changes so we can
progress them through the program at a pace suited for them.
I and my staff really pride ourselves on working on the
running mechanics of the individual so that his/her running form is as close to
perfect as we can get. Then, and only then, can we put the athlete through
the proper drills necessary to improve speed. If mechanics are ignored,
all we are doing is reinforcing bad habits that might get them a little faster,
but not as fast as they could get with proper mechanics.

ACHES OR PAINS or need to work the KINKS
out of your muscles, click here to check out our NEW Active Recovery
Program.
No other speed program in Columbus, Ohio can get your
athlete to look better when they run, run faster (straight ahead and laterally),
and feel much more confident when they play their sports. If you
want a taste of what some of our program would be like, fill out the form to the
right and get a FREE speed workout. Implementing those bodyweight
exercises alone will strengthen your legs to get you faster.

These are the average improvements that an athlete could demonstrate by
working at Fitness Planning Consultants, Inc.:
- Almost 3 inches in the vertical jump, with one athlete improving by
8 inches
- A decrease of .13 seconds in the 10 yard dash time, with a high of
almost .4 seconds
- A decrease of .15 seconds in the 20 yard dash time, with a high of
.45 seconds
- A decrease of .26 seconds in the 20 yard shuttle run, with a high
of .61 seconds
- A decrease of .1 tenth of a second means you are covering a little over 2
feet faster than before
For our speed and strength programs, we can adjust the length of the program
and the frequency to fit your needs. If you only have a limited amount of
time or have a whole off-season, the program will be created specifically for
you. On average, our program lasts 8-9 weeks and we encourage athletes to
come in twice a week.

Bottom Line: You can probably find a
cheaper program out there, but usually you get what you pay for. We only
do private small group training (1-3 athletes) because the quality is what is
most important to us. We identify technique issues, correct them, and then
develop the power/speed you need to be a successful athlete. I can't get
your athlete to be as fast as Usain Bolt, but I can get him/her faster than what
they were before. If this is
the philosophy you want for your athlete, read about our initial assessment.
Initial Assessment
To find out how we can help you, we will recommend you start with our initial
Assessment. The cost for this Assessment will be $90. This
Assessment will consist of the following:
- Filling out a complete health questionnaire
- Discussing what your goals are
- Reviewing exercise history
- Discussing nutritional habits
- Taking selective measurements/tests
- Laying out a plan for what you need to accomplish to achieve your
fitness goals
Once we have evaluated you, we will be able to explain to you the different
programs that we have to get you stronger and faster. This includes, but
not limited to: one-on-one training, semi-private training, and individual
programs you can do on your own. Our Assessment is provided with a 100%
Money Back Guarantee, in case you didn't feel that this Assessment was valuable
to you.
Please Note: You will be evaluated and tested at the initial
Assessment, but you will only be re-assessed if you have trained with us for 8-9
weeks or more. Anything less will not provide enough training to see a
significant progress. We certainly allow athletes to train with us for any
length of time. If you need a quick tune up between seasons, have only a
short time frame, etc., but the post test won't be performed unless you have
worked with us for 8-9 weeks or more.
