Foundations of Speed Training for Soccer
Run faster. Move better. Play with confidence.
The Foundations of Speed Training for Soccer program is a performance-focused training opportunity. This program helps players develop the essential movement skills that translate directly to the game — speed, coordination, efficiency, and confidence.
Rather than just running faster, athletes will learn how to run properly. Through intentional, age-appropriate instruction, players will build strong movement habits that support long-term athletic development and reduce injury risk.
What This Program Focuses On
- Proper running mechanics
- Acceleration and sprint technique
- Coordination and body control
- Movement efficiency for soccer-specific actions
These foundational skills benefit players at every position and stage of development and serve as building blocks for future performance training.
Led by Coach John Nicol
Training sessions are led by Coach John Nicol, an accomplished Track & Field and Cross Country coach with over a decade of experience developing athletes at both the high school and collegiate levels.
Coach Nicol has:
- Led championship-level programs
- Coached multiple state and national champions
- Earned advanced certifications through the USTFCCCA in Sprints, Hurdles, Relays, Strength & Conditioning, and Endurance
His approach emphasizes teaching speed the right way — safely, progressively, and with purpose.
