Central Ohio Track – Sprint Coaching
1:1 Private and Group Sprint/Speed Coaching
We provide 1:1 and small group coaching programs for sprinters preparing for their upcoming track season. Our group sizes are small so we can spend time assisting each athlete, while still building a team-culture approach to training.
Our off-season track/speed prep program is ideal for athletes of any experience level who wants proven, science-based structured training to build power, acceleration and top end speed.
Real results on a real track
At RFP, workouts aren’t just about conditioning in a big box gym. Each session is held on a “real track”, and each session is planned, structured and tied into a larger training program so athletes improve week over week with a goal to be season-ready.
Athletes who do not train over the Winter spend half their season or more catching up to those who do.
Each session is led by experienced coaches who have coached middle school, high school, and collegiate athletes.
Depending on the where we are at in the training cycle, athletes will work on standing / block starts, acceleration, max speed, breathing techniques, reaction drills, explosiveness/power development, plyometrics, race strategy, running form, sports nutrition, mental preparation, and more.
We do not currently coach hurdles (although we can coach starts, acceleration, and speed/endurance.
Do you have questions?
What does small group training look like?
We offer groups for middle school and high school athletes. We keep group sizes small so each athlete has the opportunity to receive individualized attention when needed. We typically range a 4:1 – 5:1 athlete to coach ratio.
Each session is approximately an hour long and starts with warmup and form/technique drills. This prepares each athlete’s for their workout and helps reenforce good form, technique and muscle activation through drill repetition.
During the warm-up we ask each athlete about what they accomplished on their own since we last met as well as discuss progress and answer any questions they have about their training. (We guide the group on what they should work on individually between sessions).
After the warm-up, we start the main workout. Based on the experience of the athlete, how their week went, or based on progress, we may tweak the workout to that athlete. This is a big benefit of our small group size vs. holding large groups with no individualization.
As we get closer to their season, our training gets specific to their anticipated event.
At the end of each workout, we do a brief cool-down and discuss what each athlete should work on during the upcoming week. The group works as a team, regardless of each athletes ability or background.
* We do not coach field events, jumps. throws, or hurdle technique (However, Hurdlers would benefit from the running and speed development).
