The IYCA Youth Speed & Agility Specialist
“Dave Jack is… one of the best coaches I have ever met. Latif Thomas is pretty funny, but this guy knows his stuff, and along with D-Jack is an incredible coach, not just speed coach, but an incredible coach. D-Jack and Latif see coaching on a different level than most people and I came away inspired and re-energized, I couldn’t wait to get back in the gym this morning for my first class, and they were a bunch of 3-5year olds. Their passion, enthusiasm, and work must have rubbed off on me this weekend, because usually my preK parents socialize during class, but today they were laughing with the kids, taking pictures, and were totally involved.” |

“The speed and agility course with David and Latif was extremely informational, inspiring, and humbling. They are so experienced and knowledgeable and provided us with non-stop information the entire time. Their hands-on approach and set-up with running us through their skills and coaching cues, as if we were their athletes, made it so much easier to grasp then if it were a lecture format. I left realizing that I have a lot to learn as a coach; but because of their knowledge and inspiration I know that I’m on my way to becoming that much better!” |

“The amount of fluff and myth that revolves around about proper nutrition for young athletes is staggaring and leaves every single Coach and Trainer confused. This certification course completely opened my eyes to what’s ‘right’ and how simple changes will effect my young athletes performance. I cannot say enough how much everyone who works with young athletes should take this course.” |

She is excellent and breaking down the training techniques so that anyone can understand them. She gets a level of training out of you that you, yourself did not know you could. She leads by example and everything she has accomplished is a huge inspiration to me.” |

“Your system KICKS MAJOR BUTT! I am so busy between all my work and being a new father that sitting down to read on a regular basis can sometimes be very tough! I simply played each CD in my car on my way to and from work. For me, this was a ‘no brainer’ The chance for me to have a classroom in my car with amazing Performance Coaches revealing amazing information every single second in each CD! Any Trainer or Coach, no matter how experienced, can make dramatic improvements to their overall training programs after only listening to ONE of these interviews! After I listened to all of them, I have revamped a lot of my methods and fine tuned them for improvement!” |

Mike Rudnicki
“We started using Brian’s system in 2006 – That entire season there was not a single major injury to any of the 90+ Varsity football players. Since starting with Brian in his sophomore year, my own son played & started Varsity football for three years and played Varsity baseball for two years. He never had a major injury. His senior football season started in June and completed in November – he never missed a workout, practice or game during that entire time.” |

“This is the best time-saver I have ever seen and people would be downright foolish not to take advantage of your system… Period.” |
