For athletes looking to take their game to the next level, speed is a game-changer. Just ask Charlotte, a dedicated AFL player from South Australia who has been competing at the state league level for years. Now, as she pursues her dream of reaching the elite ranks, she has turned to FAST Running’s FAST for Sport program to gain the edge she needs.
Bridging the Gap Between Sport and Speed
Currently studying at ANU, Charlotte knows that improving her acceleration, running technique, and endurance speedwill have a massive impact on her performance. In her own words:
“I think I would really benefit from improving my speed and acceleration, general running technique, and increasing the pace of my longer endurance efforts.”
She isn’t alone. Many young adult athletes—whether they play AFL, soccer, rugby, or any other sport—find that sprint training gives them an advantage on the field. The FAST for Sport program is designed for athletes just like Charlotte—those who don’t have a background in sprinting but recognize the power of speed in their sport.
Why FAST for Sport?
The FAST Running squad isn’t just for competitive sprinters. The program is built on the philosophy that speed is a skill, and like any skill, it can be coached and developed. Athletes in sports like AFL, basketball, and netball can benefit enormously from learning:
✅ Explosive acceleration – Get to the contest first.
✅ Efficient sprint mechanics – Move with power and control.
✅ Speed endurance – Maintain intensity for longer periods.
✅ Agility & change of direction – React and move faster than your opponent.

Charlotte’s journey is just beginning, and she’s proving that you don’t need a background in sprinting to start training for speed.
