If you’ve listened “expert opinions” and tried trendy drills that don’t produce results, you’ve probably gotten really frustrated with the entire concept of speed development.
Too often, coaches look for the magical drill that will change everything or listen to advice from someone who doesn’t truly understand the intricacies and science of speed training, or who simply can’t distill it down into useful terms.Speed Certification
If you’ve been looking for a way to develop real speed – without gimmicks, without fluff – look no further.
The IYCA Certified Speed & Agility Specialist (CSAS) is the most practical, thorough and scientifically sound speed development curriculum available.
For a long time, people believed that speed couldn’t be developed – it was a something athletes were simple born with. Thankfully, science proved that wrong.
A series of studies by well-respected researchers showed that certain techniques actually improved speed much better than others. Eventually scientists uncovered some basic fundamentals of speed development.
Ladder 2The most important finding of all is that the fastest athletes in the world actually move differently than slower athletes. This may not seem exciting, but what was revealed is that it’s possible to teach these slower athletes how to move more like their faster counterparts.
Now, if all we did was rely on science, this wouldn’t be a complete curriculum. Instead, we enlisted one of the brightest minds in science and two of the most experienced coaches in the industry to teach you exactly how to apply these principles.
Rather than create more confusion, this material distills everything down into easy-to-understand terms so you can stop wondering what’s true, and start making your athletes faster.

Why Become a Certified Speed & Agility Specialist?
The Certified Speed & Agility Specialist program was developed to address one of the most glaring and obvious needs in our profession.
Speed & agility are paramount to the success of athletes in almost all sports. As coaches and fitness professionals we’re charged with improving our athletes performance on the field or the court.
The Athletic Advantage
In competitive sports the faster and more agile players on the field or court have a distinct advantage over the competition.
The ability to accelerate or change direction can often be the difference between defeating an opponent and being defeated.
Linear Speed Is Not Enough
While 40-yard-dash times are impressive and key parts of the combine circuit, game speed is so much more.
Linear speed is just one of many skills that you need to develop in your athletes if you want to maximize their game success. ‘Track speed’ isn’t enough unless your athletes are only competing in track and field.
They need the ability to accelerate and decelerate quickly. They need multi-directional speed. They need to be able to change direction rapidly.

You know this, but where do you go to learn how to coach it?
A Complete Resource
When we originally decided to offer the Certified Speed & Agility Specialist, it was largely because no one was really providing a complete education for coaches when it came to developing speed & agility in their athletes.
There were plenty of speed products that offered collections of drills or strength programs that were designed to enhance speed.
A select few certifications touched on the development of speed as part of a broader curriculum.
There were even live workshops that provided a hands-on learning experience for coaches.
But none of these solutions were complete.
None were going to provide the coach or fitness professional with the background knowledge, practical education and complete toolbox they need to being out the best in their athletes when it came to developing speed & agility.
The IYCA Certified Speed & Agility Specialist
Until now nothing available addressed this simple but critical need: how do you as a fitness professional or coach give your athletes the ‘on the field’ competitive advantage of speed and agility.
That’s why this Certification exists. To address that need. Completely.
We want to make certain that the work you do and the coaching you provide to your athletes is completely obvious every time they step on the field or the court.
The CSAS can make that a reality.
