Description: The Industry It’s a crazy (and competitive) world we live in. And yes, many of us are admittedly guilty of the aspirational view we have of our kids as they start playing sports. The fact is that the average 12 year-old “amateur” athlete is working and training harder to get better. And they need to. Recent economic times have affected us all, but interestingly they have not had a significant impact on the economics of youth sports and there has been little downturn in the competitive nature of athletes of all ages. In fact, we have seen that the demand for Velocity has increased as parents are in greater need of college scholarship money. And the aspiration of getting this money doesn’t start senior year, it starts when they are 10! Established in 1999, Velocity Sports Performance was founded on the idea that athletic ability isn’t merely a matter of DNA. We came to the (then) radical conclusion that speed—the single biggest determiner in an athlete’s success … could be taught. A background in sports and science helped him develop athletic exercises and training programs that served to re-program athletes’ nervous systems. Elite Curriculum Designed for Tangible Results Our programs are designed and continuously updated with the help of world-renowned sports performance coaches whose backgrounds include coaching numerous elite and professional athletes, collegiate national champions, and All-Americans. Our programs are scientifically designed to improve speed, power, and agility—the three pillars of athleticism. Velocity Sports Performance offers training for anyone and everyone, regardless of age, gender, skill level, or athletic or fitness goals. Our core programs are developed by age for elementary, middle, and high school athletes; we also offer programs for adults, teams, and elite athletes. Training in small groups ensures maximum one-on-one attention. This is all to say that in virtually every community, there is a demand for Velocity and sports performance training.
