14-Day Acceleration Challenge

Welcome

Overview & Instructions

This challenge is designed to help athletes improve their first-step quickness and early acceleration — the part of speed that shows up immediately in games.

Over the next 14 days, you’ll complete 8 short training sessions, spaced out with rest days so athletes can adapt and perform each session with quality.

This is not conditioning.

This is skill-based speed training.

How the Challenge Works

🏃‍♂️ 8 total workouts

📆 Completed over 14 days

⏱️ Each session takes 20–30 minutes

😴 Rest days are required (this is where progress happens)

The goal is high-quality reps, not fatigue.

What You'll Need

Please gather the following before starting:

📏 Tape measure (at least 30 feet)

🔺 Cones or markers (towels, water bottles, etc. work; anything to mark two distances)

⏱️ Stopwatch or phone timer

🏟️ Open space (field, gym, driveway, or turf)

🏋️‍♂️ 1 dumbbell (optional — bodyweight alternatives are provided)

Timing & Tracking Progress

You will record:

  • Day 1 times (baseline)

  • Day 8 times (after final session)

At the end of Day 8, you’ll be prompted to fill out a short form to submit:

  • Day 1 times

  • Day 8 times

This allows you to:

  • See real progress

  • Compare before vs after

  • Understand what’s actually improving

  • Come up with a plan moving forward

👉 Do not skip this step. It’s a key part of the challenge.

Coaching Notes
  • Speed improves when athletes are fresh

  • More reps ≠ better results

  • Rest days are part of the program

  • Stop a session if mechanics break down

This is about moving better, not grinding.
