Transforming Speed for Football with FAST Running Canberra Running Coach, January 19, 2025January 19, 2025 Jess Mitchell At FAST Running, we pride ourselves on delivering “Running Excellence” for athletes of all ages and disciplines. One of our most inspiring success stories is Jess Mitchell, a talented footballer whose acceleration and speed have reached new heights through our tailored training program. From the Pitch to the Track Jess came to FAST Running with a clear goal: to improve her explosive speed and overall running efficiency for football. Known for her talent and versatility on the field, she understood that enhancing her physical capabilities would elevate her game. With this in mind, Jess began working with High Performance Sprints Coach Steve Dodt, whose expertise in speed mechanics and technical development has been instrumental in transforming athletes like her. Refining the Technical Model The foundation of Jess’s improvement has been a meticulous focus on her technical running model. Through video analysis, biomechanical drills, and personalized coaching, Jess learned how to optimize her acceleration phases and sprinting technique. Small adjustments to her posture, stride length, and arm drive have made a significant difference, enabling her to generate more power and maintain top-end speed for longer durations. Results That Speak Volumes The impact of these changes has been extraordinary. Jess is now moving with a fluidity and explosiveness that have transformed her on-field performance. Her ability to accelerate past opposition players and recover quickly in high-intensity situations has not only made her a more formidable athlete but also inspired those around her. Jess’s story is a testament to the FAST Running philosophy: combining cutting-edge coaching with a commitment to individualized athlete development. Her journey highlights how our focus on “Running Excellence” can unlock new levels of performance, no matter the sport. A Bright Future Ahead With her newfound speed and technical prowess, Jess is poised to make an even greater impact in football. Her hard work and determination, paired with the expert guidance of Coach Dodt, have set her on a path to continued success. We have no doubt that her growth will inspire others to invest in their own development and strive for excellence.
