OUR ATHLETES

CLUB PHILOSOPHY

Our approach to training is to focus on quality of technical instruction and execution (versus quantity of load applied). We focus on form, body position and proper running technique utilizing speed training as a key foundation. We aim to do so in a well-thought through, carefully designed, and holistic training program in a supportive, fun, creative, and progress-oriented environment where the athlete is challenged to achieve what they may not have initially thought possible. We focus on the athlete’s full development (physiological/physical, biomotor/mechanical, neuromuscular, mental, psychological, spiritual, emotional) and overall well-being.

OUR ATHLETES

Our athletes are primarily Youth (ages 9-18) and compete nationally in track & field events ranging from the 100M to the 3K, to select field events (like the long jump and turbo javelin) and Cross Country (2k, 3k, 4k, 5k). We focus on the inputs to success (ie., how to run, race, jump, throw) rather the the outputs â€“  like a specific race outcome. Our athletes have achieved notable success in our relatively short existence as a club. Please see some of our club’s performance stats to-date below the images of some of our athletes or on our Speed Unlimited Facebook page

​

Additionally, The life skills our athletes gain from the disciplined training on the track helps them to be successful in the classroom and beyond. A number of our former athletes and recent graduates have been admitted to top colleges and universities around the country including WSU, University of Washington, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Brown, Cornell, Wesleyan, Ursinus College, MIT, UCLA, USC, Santa Clara University, UC Cal Berkeley, SPU, , Washington University in St. Louis, University of Oklahoma, University of Utah, Bucknell University, Williams College, Lewis and Clark College, Montana University, and Macalester College amongst others.
