Any coach can make you tired, but not every coach can get you faster.
FPC helps middle school and high school athletes develop measurable speed, strength, and explosiveness for their sport.
We don’t judge a speed program by how tired an athlete is after a workout. We test, train, and retest so athletes and parents can see whether the training is actually producing results.
Your athlete may already be working hard. But if speed is holding them back, simply working harder isn’t always the answer.
Athletes need to learn how to produce force, move efficiently, and apply that strength at speed. That’s where specialized speed training can make a difference.

Athletes come to FPC’s Dublin, Ohio facility from throughout Central Ohio for specialized speed training. We work with athletes from Columbus, Dublin, Upper Arlington, Worthington, Hilliard, Westerville, Lewis Center, and surrounding communities—including families who travel from farther away for FPC training.
“My child is a good athlete. They just need to get faster.”
We hear versions of that from parents all the time. Their athlete may have good skills, work hard, and understand their sport—but lack the acceleration, running mechanics, or overall speed needed to keep up as the level of competition increases.
The good news is that speed isn’t simply something an athlete either has or doesn’t have. Speed can be trained.
We Don’t Guess. We Measure.
FPC athletes are tested so we can evaluate whether their training is actually producing results. Based on our testing data, athletes have averaged improvements of:
- Nearly 3 inches in vertical jump
- 0.13 seconds in the 10-yard dash
- 0.15 seconds in the 20-yard dash
- 0.26 seconds in the 20-yard shuttle
Individual results vary, but the goal is always the same: measurable improvement.
Small improvements in speed can make a big difference in competition. A quicker first step can mean getting to the loose ball first, creating separation from a defender, beating an opponent to a position, or turning a close play into a successful one.
And as athletes begin to move faster and more efficiently, they often gain something else that matters: confidence in their ability to compete.
FPC has been helping Central Ohio athletes develop speed for more than 25 years. During that time, I’ve continued to study, test, and refine how we train athletes to improve acceleration, running mechanics, strength, and overall athletic speed.
But you don’t have to take my word for it. Coaches throughout Central Ohio have trusted FPC to help develop their athletes.

Who Am I And Why Should You Trust Me To Get Your Athlete Faster?
I’ve spent more than 25 years helping athletes in Central Ohio become faster, stronger, and more confident competitors.
Speed development isn’t about running athletes through random drills or simply making them tired. It requires understanding how an athlete moves, identifying what may be limiting their speed, and developing the strength, mechanics, and ability to apply force that can help them run faster.
Over the years, I’ve worked with athletes from a wide range of sports and ability levels—from middle school athletes trying to become more competitive to athletes who have gone on to compete at the college level.
Just as importantly, I want athletes to understand why they’re doing what they’re doing. FPC is a positive, encouraging training environment where athletes are coached as individuals and progress is measured rather than guessed.
The goal is simple: help each athlete become a better version of the athlete they are today.
What Makes FPC Speed Training Different?
Speed training should do more than make an athlete tired. It should help them become faster.
At FPC, we focus on the factors that can actually improve an athlete’s speed—running mechanics, acceleration, strength, explosiveness, and the ability to apply force efficiently.
And because every athlete is different, the training has to be coached—not simply assigned.
Speed development isn’t one-size-fits-all. An athlete’s age, physical maturity, movement patterns, strength, and ability to learn new techniques can all affect how they should be trained. That’s why we progress athletes at a pace that makes sense for them rather than putting everyone through the exact same program.
Running mechanics are a major part of that process. We coach athletes to improve how they accelerate and run so they can use their strength and power more effectively. Simply repeating speed drills without addressing how an athlete moves can reinforce the same habits that may be limiting their speed in the first place.
Our goal is not simply to make an athlete look faster during a workout. It’s to help them develop speed they can use when they compete.
Whether that means accelerating to the ball, creating separation, changing direction more effectively, or simply becoming a faster overall athlete, we want the improvements made in training to carry over to their sport.
And because we measure performance, we can evaluate progress over time and make adjustments to the training when needed.
Speed Training for Athletes Across Central Ohio
FPC has worked with middle school, high school, and college athletes from throughout Central Ohio, including athletes from Dublin, Columbus, Worthington, Westerville, Hilliard, Gahanna, Pickerington, Olentangy, and surrounding communities.
We’ve trained athletes from a wide range of sports, including football, basketball, soccer, baseball, lacrosse, volleyball, field hockey, tennis, softball, gymnastics, and track & field.
The sport may be different, but the goal is similar: help athletes move faster, become more explosive, and perform with greater confidence.
Start With an Initial Speed Assessment
Every athlete is different. Before recommending a speed training program, we want to understand how your athlete currently moves, where they may be losing speed, and what they need to improve.
During the initial assessment, we’ll evaluate areas such as:
- Running mechanics
- Acceleration and speed
- Strength and explosiveness
- Relevant performance measurements
- Training history and athletic goals
We’ll also discuss what your athlete wants to accomplish and recommend the training approach that makes the most sense for them.
The goal isn’t to guess what your athlete needs. It’s to establish a starting point so we can measure whether the training is actually working.
The initial assessment is $105.
