Speed Training Report: Update

I want to give everyone a heads up...'The Ultimate Guide to
Underground Sled Training’ 60 minute DVD is only available to
the first 100 people who join The Speed Training Report
Community.

As I write this, everyone who has joined so far is among the
first 100 - they are all 'in'.

If you haven't ordered yet, there is still time. However, the
DVD's are going fast so I can't guarantee how long this bonus
will be available. But, trust me, it's a pretty darn good DVD
especially with all the other content you get in your introductory
package.

Zach Even-esh sells that DVD for $37 by itself, which is
considerably more than you'll pay for an entire month's
membership to The Speed Training Report.

The Speed Training Report - Concern #2

Concern #2

This update covers Concern #2 about The Speed Training
Report

(We already addressed the #1 concern (that we're just going to
charge people for what amounts to a series of product sales
pitches here.


CONCERN: There is so much material and information spread out
over a number of formats, topics, sports, etc. that the information
will be too complicated to retain or not specific enough to one
particular sport. Therefore only elite coaches will be able to
get anything out of it.

BACKGROUND: When we first started putting this idea together, we
considered this fear from Day 1. But we know from our experience
that the best way to become a successful coach, teacher and mentor
to young athletes is by educating yourself through as many sources
of information as possible.

Our free Complete Speed Training Newsletter covers the same type
of information (just not nearly as in depth or consistently as
The Speed Training Report) and we have, literally, hundreds of
testimonials from people of all sports, age groups, experience
levels and disciplines.

ANSWER: While the concern is understandable, I call this one
of those 'no worries' situations. We've thought about this
from the beginning.

When contacting and interviewing coaches, they were given specific
instructions as to how to present their content. So as long as
you are not getting overly confused by the Complete Speed Training
Newsletter and how I present information in that resource, you'll
have no problems with the Speed Training Report.

The information will be easy to grasp and I am quite confident
it will be immediately useful to both beginner and veteran
coaches alike.

Yes, there is a ton of content.

Yes, it does come from a variety of coaches and from a variety
of sports.

However, it is EXTREMELY easy to understand.

Plus it will still have a distinctive 'Athletes' Acceleration'
feel to it.

Even if you only are involved with one sport or style, I promise
you that you'll be able to apply information to your athletes
from a sport or arena that seems totally unrelated.

I used to think 'How can I apply this information on middle
distance running to my tennis players?'

But when you look foundationally at how the information is being
presented, you'll start to see amazing paralells.

It's kind of like the movie The Matrix when Neo starts to realize
how the Matrix actually works.

It reminds me of a great saying:

'When you change the way you look at things, the things you look
at change.'

Yeah,what can I say, I'm deep.

Let me give you a specific example.

Many of you have had the pleasure of working with Kimberly, our
adminisrative wonder woman. Kim is excellent at handling all
the administrative and customer service details that it takes to
run Athletes' Acceleration.

This is the type of stuff that Patrick and I will (and have)
screwed up.

Kim answers the phones and has learned enough about our
programs to give answers to the most popular questions that
potential customers have. However, she has no serious knowledge
of speed development or athletic performance, nor does she care.

However, since she'll have to answer a ton of questions about
the product when we launch, we gave her a copy of the first
issue so she could get familiar with it.

It sat on her desk for a few days because she really didn't want
to read all those articles or listen to a long interview about
any of the facets of athletic performance.

Quite frankly, she was dreading it.

But after looking at the first issue, Kim said:

"Honestly I was very surprised at how interesting it was.
Even though the topics were different, I feel like I could
understand how everything could fit together if you were
paying attention. Maybe I should start running camps and
clinics!"

And the most impressive part is - she just skimmed the articles
and only listened to the first half of the audio! (It is an hour and
20 minutes long after all!)

She wasn't taking notes or thinking about how to apply the
information to her own athletes.

She didn't highlight any sections or even think about diving
into all the bonuses.

She didn't check the forums, watch any video breakdown or
even read the transcripts of the audio interrogation.

She was reading it because I made her :)

My point is this: The information in The Speed Training Report
will work for coaches, parents and athletes of every sport, age,
skill level and gender.

And regardless of your current knowledge level, you'll be able
to pick up priceless information that you can take to your team,
kids, facility, etc.

More importantly, we want to build a community within the
members of the Speed Training Report.

So if the group decides the information is too difficult, we'll
change it.

If you want more of something, we'll add it.

Our goal is to serve as educators. We want to get information
to you using the path of least resistance. We're truly here
to serve you.

BOTTOM LINE: While The Speed Training Report content is quite
thorough and gives you a huge amount of material to consider,
it is also easy to understand. It will work for you whether
you're a beginner coach or a veteran, whether you coach
multiple sports and athletes or just one.

So stay tuned for more details. We'll be launching The Speed
Training Report on Tuesday, April 17 at 12pm EST. The best way
to stay informed about the release of The Speed Training Report
is by joining our announcement list.

You can see the details at the bottom of this message.

And of course, we won't share your contact information with
anyone. And that includes contributors to The Report. We
respect your privacy.

The Speed Training Report - Concern #1

Concern #1


We've heard three major concerns from our readers about the
impending release of The Speed Training Report. This update will
address the #1 concern...

CONCERN: Is this going to be real information from coaches who
really know what they are doing or just a series of diguised sales
pitches for products and programs that you want to sell?

BACKGROUND: A couple of months ago we let it slip to our readers
that we're getting ready to launch a speed training
resource that covers every componant of athletic development; from
sport specific training articles and programs, strength training,
linear and lateral speed development, youth training, sports
psychology, mechanics, the list goes on and on.

That announcement set off a bit of a frenzy of emails from our
readers. The funny thing is, the biggest concern is not what
we anticipated.

People really enjoy receiving the Complete Speed Training
Newsletter, our regular free athletic development resource. But
our readers told us they were worried this new subscription
based resource would just be a marketing ploy to sell advertising
and sell programs. Instead of giving cutting edge training
advice from top experts, we'd be selling
fluff and wasting everyone's time and money.

To tell you the truth, I was a little taken aback at these
comments. Countless thousands of people have benefitted from
the information I give away weekly, for free. And our other
'paid' products are jam packed with information that have,
in some instances, literally changed peoples' lives.

To think that we would come out with anything less than a rock
solid training and coaching resource caught both Patrick and
I off guard, so we had to really sit and think about how we
would introduce the information and the experts.

As you may remember from when we first announced this project,
we've been working on cultivating this resource for almost a
year. So even though the comments threw us off, we wanted to
make sure we felt we were over delivering on the content.

And I promise you that if The Speed Training Report truly is
captain of the 'varsity' team then the Complete Speed Training
Newsletter is a 'freshman' in comparison.

Just think of it like this, I write the Complete Speed Training
Newsletter each week. While the articles and Q&A are informative,
it's tough to come up with great new info each week.

So while Patrick and I will contribute heavily to The Speed
Training Report, our articles and answers will come out monthly,
giving us a ton of time to really give thought out, well
researched answers and content.

Now think about what you'll learn from the coaches and experts
that Patrick and I go to when WE have questions!

It's truly world class info.

SOLUTION: So given that background, we've decided to take a
somewhat unorthodox approach. To get you hooked on The Speed
Training Report from the outset, we're going to give you a
drastic discount on the regular price AND give away a bonus
60 minute sled training DVD and ebook...at least initially.

Since taking action is the spark that ignites success in any
and all endeavours, we're only going to give the discount and
bonuses away to a limited number of people. Either the first
100 people who sign up or for the first 24 hours of the launch.
We haven't decided yet, but you can be sure that if you don't
act, we WILL start taking product away.

What I personally believe (and hope) is that these incentives
will just be gravy for serious and active readers.

I think once you see the line up of coaches we have joining
Patrick and I, you'll be sitting anxiously at
your computer waiting for the launch to start to ensure you
get subscribed as soon as humanly possible.

You already know the level of knowledge and quality of content
that you get with Athletes' Acceleration products, programs and
newsletters. But if you need a reminder of who we are, you can

We're just a couple weeks away from the launch of The Speed Training Report, our monthly Newsletter on the most important elements of athletic development.

I just looked over the first issue and I have to say, just calling this a 'Newsletter' doesn't really do it justice.

We'll be bringing you the type of content you expect from Athletes' Acceleration plus a ton of incredibly innovative training information from the top coaches in the world of sports performance.

So stay tuned for more information on that.

Anyway, a few weeks back I sent a link to a survey that really helped us refine the information that YOU want to hear more about.

If you haven't given us your specific thoughts on that survey yet, I hope that you'll take just a few minutes and do that now.

This is also the best way to get on the 'Early Bird' list so you can be the first to get the latest updates on the impending release of The Speed Training Report.

Here is the link:
