At Speed Training Co., we develop fast, athletic, and confident movers through proven systems, simple fundamentals, and a commitment to excellence.
Speed Training Co. exists to close the gap between potential and performance. We help athletes of all ages move better, run faster, and compete with confidence by focusing on the fundamentals of speed and movement. Our training is simple, intentional, and effective — built on principles of excellence, consistency, and character. Whether training youth athletes, supporting coaches, or helping adults rediscover their athleticism, our mission is the same: to push every athlete to greatness.
Our Mission
What We Value
Quality of Movement
We believe every athlete deserves to move well before they move fast. Excellence starts with fundamentals — precision, posture, and purpose in every rep.
Discipline & Consistency
True speed comes from showing up, putting in the work, and trusting the process. We build athletes who value repetition, focus, and resilience over quick fixes.
Confidence Through Mastery
Confidence is earned through preparation and progress. We help athletes discover belief in themselves by mastering the basics and seeing measurable results.
Purpose & Simplicity
Training shouldn’t be complicated — it should be intentional. Every drill, cue, and conversation has a reason. We focus on what matters most to move the needle.
Effort & Energy
Every session is an opportunity to give 100%. We bring intensity, encouragement, and passion that push athletes to find their next level.
Character in Motion
How we move reflects who we are. We develop athletes who compete with integrity, humility, and heart — on the field and in life.
About Coach Pendergraft
Dexter's passion for speed and athletic development started long before he ever wrote a training program. As a college baseball player and state track champion, he experienced firsthand how proper mechanics, disciplined training, and character-driven work habits could transform an athlete’s performance — and open doors that talent alone couldn’t.
Those experiences shaped both his coaching philosophy and his calling. Guided by his faith, he approaches coaching as stewardship: a responsibility to serve athletes, build them up, and help them grow into who they were created to be. For him, speed training has never been about hype — it’s about clarity, teaching, and giving athletes the tools to reach their God-given potential.
Over the past decade, Coach Pendergraft has dedicated himself to studying biomechanics, speed mechanics, strength training, and long-term youth development. With a degree in Kinesiology and his experience as a Certified Functional Strength Coach, he is an expert in the field. His mission is simple and deeply intentional: provide teams and organizations with a professional, system-based approach to speed and performance that removes guesswork and replaces it with structure, consistency, and real development.
This vision led to the creation of Speed Training Co.
Today, Coach Pendergraft partners with youth organizations to deliver plug-and-play speed and strength systems that elevate entire programs — not just individual athletes. His approach emphasizes integrity, communication, and excellence in both training and character.
At the heart of his work is a belief that athletes deserve more than random workouts. They deserve coaching that teaches discipline, builds confidence, and helps them grow on and off the field.
Speed is the craft. Development is the mission. Character is the foundation.
