I think it’s important to study both directions…what we know today from current research and where training ideas actually came from.
Everyone learns differently, but for me, I’ve always wanted to understand the origins. What has stood the test of time? What constants do we

still see across great coaches, great athletes and great eras?
That doesn’t mean training should never evolve, it always will. But I like going back to these old videos, old workouts, and old programs to see what patterns emerge.
It’s not about saying “this is the best way”

or “this is the only way.” It’s about adding context to what we do now, building a broader perspective and constantly refining.
That’s how I approach programming, too. My programs are never just “here’s a workout.” I explain the why before the what. Because a plan without

context is just numbers on paper.
The most consistent feedback I get from coaches and athletes who’ve used my programs is exactly that, the clarity behind the process is what helps them the most.
That’s what Speed Kills is built on…decades of training knowledge,

filtered through the lens of modern science, and organized into a practical system for acceleration, max velocity, plyometrics, resisted sprinting, overspeed, conditioning, and more.
