How we train it

Every athlete starts with a baseline and is retested as often as weekly, and parents see the numbers in the Universal Speed Rating app. Our guarantee: at least 1 mph faster and 2–3 inches higher on the vertical in 90 days — or your training is on us.

01The LED timing display used for sprint testing

Speed.

First step, acceleration, footwork.

Linear and lateral speed, timed so the gains show up in numbers before they show up on Friday night.

02

Strength.

Technique before load.

Foundational strength first, then loaded progressions as the athlete earns them.

03

Power.

Explosive lower body.

Jumps and explosive work, tested on the approach and standing vertical.

In Coach Aaron’s words

“The last two things we’ll do is the approach vertical and the standing stationary vertical. We like to see linear movement, lateral movement, and then lower body power.”

I started going to Aaron mainly because I wanted to improve my footwork and speed for football. My footwork is the best it’s ever been and Ive gotten significantly faster and more agile with my movements and cuts.
