Topic Description:

 In this 90-minute presentation, Joe will tell you why the 10-yard sprint and pushing a heavy sled should be two staples in almost every athlete's program - regardless of their sport. He will also give specific details as to why he feels most speed experts are wrong about resisted sprints and heavy sled drags. Contrary to popular belief, they do NOT "train your body to be slow" as most coaches will tell you. In fact, Joe feels they are one of the most powerful tools for improving an athlete's ability to accelerate - and he's got a 15-year in-house study to back up his claims! You will definitely leave this presentation with an entirely new perspective on one of the most controversial topics in the industry!
