What changes when Speed for Sport Academy trains outdoors? 🏃🏾♀️💨
The session structure is similar to our indoor training, but having access to a 400-metre track gives the athletes more space to run and experience longer sprints.
After warming up, we split the athletes into groups:
✅ Jumping and explosive movement
✅ Sprint technique and drills
✅ Groups rotate between both areas
✅ Everyone finishes together with longer sprints
Outdoor sessions give young athletes the space to open up their stride, build confidence and experience proper track-based sprinting.

Why I became a coach after Team GB.
When people hear “Team GB”, they usually think that was the biggest achievement of my career.
It wasn’t.
Competing at the highest level taught me discipline, resilience and how to perform under pressure.
But coaching gave those lessons a purpose.
There’s something special about watching someone believe in themselves for the first time.
Seeing someone get their first client.
Helping someone build a career they genuinely enjoy.
That’s why I moved into coaching.
And it’s why I created Speed for Sport Education.
I didn’t want to create another course that just helps people pass an assessment.
I wanted to create a course that helps people become confident coaches and build a career they’re proud of.
If you’ve ever thought about working in fitness, maybe this is your sign.
Our next Level 3 Personal Trainer Course starts in September.

The rivalry is getting serious… 😂🔵🔴
Oliver knows I’m a Chelsea fan, so obviously the Arsenal badge had to be covered up! 😂
Jokes aside, it’s always great training this young man. He’s come such a long way, and seeing the improvements in his speed, movement and confidence has been brilliant.
Plenty more to come! 💪🏽⚡️
