The FAST Method
From youth to pros, we help athletes achieve greatness.
Level 1 - Foundational Movements
Level 1 is focused on building the foundation for all athletics and prioritizing movements that give great athletes the ability to transcend all sports. Every sport shares certain characteristics such as throwing, pivoting, pursuing angles, and falling. By training these foundational elements of athleticism, we can build the best overall athletes that can play any sport at a high level.
​
In Level 1 we use both repetition of technique as well as problem-solving techniques. Problem-solving techniques is the cognitive side of sport that derives “emotion” in the athletes, making the learning process faster in both technique and decision making in the sport. With the Level 1 Fast Method, your athlete will become a faster and stronger athlete both physically and mentally in any sport they want to play now and in the future.

Level 2 - Power Development
Level 2 is focused on the development of the POWER in the specific sport an athlete wants to excel in. Power is the combination of strength and speed, and we train this in the varying movements that require the athlete to perform their sport.
​
Level 2 develops this power using the foundational movements of Level 1 while taking the athlete into a deeper understanding of the complex movements specific to the specific sport. This means that we take the foundational movements of Level 1, then build POWER in those movements while adding complex movements that the athlete would experience in high-intensity competition.
