EXETER SPEED SPRINT TRAINING

I am a UK Athletics coach offering sprint training in Exeter, Taunton, Tiverton and the surrounding area. I'm also the sprints, hurdles and horizontal jumps coach for the Exeter University Athletics Club, and I have the highest sprint & hurdles qualifications available through UK Athletics.

I know how to program and coach effective training for track and field sprint events. I also have extensive experience developing the speed and agility required for team sports.

My athletes have ranged from disabled children to sportspeople representing their country.

More About Me

TEAMS

Speed and agility are fundamental components of fitness that will give team sportsmen and women the edge over their opponents.

I really enjoy training groups of sportspeople. If they've not done sprint-specific training before, there is usually great scope for improvement.

Pace on a sports field is slightly different to pace on an athletics track, but I know how to adapt training methods.

TEAM EXETER SPEED

High performance sprint training group focussed on track & field and based at Exeter Arena.

Horizontal jumps and longer sprints (400m and 800m) are accommodated too.

INDIVIDUALS

One-on-one training is a great way to rapidly improve an individual's speed and agility.

With my complete focus, I can quickly spot technical weaknesses and make the necessary interventions to improve someone's performance.

With younger individuals in particular, big changes are often witnessed within only a few sessions.

SPEED

I have in-depth knowledge of speed training for track and field, and extensive experience putting this knowledge into practice. I also understand how to adapt speed training for field and court sports.

CONDITIONING

To develop speed, there is value in spending time working with weights and other forms of resistance. I know how to put together strength & conditioning programs that will complement speed and agility training.

AGILITY

For sportsmen and women, there is more to speed than just being able to get from A to B quickly in a straight line. The ability to change direction sharply is a skill that can be taught and developed.

ATHLETE

Knowing the science and theory behind speed training is one thing, being able to ‘tune in’ with athletes and sportsmen/women to keep them excited and motivated is another thing altogether. I love working out what makes individuals ‘tick’.

"My 14 year old son has been having 1:1 running sessions with Tom in Linton over the last 5/6 months. Tom has been great throughout the whole process, very professional and very knowledgeable. He put my son at ease right from the start and always explains what they are doing and why. My son's running technique was hugely improved through these sessions. I'd highly recommend using Tom for your personal training needs."
