Coach Nate has trained hundreds of athletes in Speed, Football, and Track & Field since graduating from BYU in 2006.  Nate has not only studied and coached the drills and techniques to becoming faster and more athletic, but he has done them himself and competed at world-class levels.

"One of the biggest questions or myths out there in all sports: is it possible to coach or teach athletes how to run faster, move quicker laterally, and be more powerful and agile? 

The most fundamental aspect or element of sports is SPEED, and your athletes or teams success depends on it.

I was always the “fast kid” growing up all the way through high school.  I was lucky to be naturally fast; lucky enough that it made it possible for me to run track at the collegiate level.  But being the “fast kid” could only take me so far when competing against other “fast kids” around the country.  I needed coaching and proper technique work to be able to compete at the level I wanted to.  I was able to train and teach my body the proper and most efficient way to run and compete at world-class levels.

No matter what your ability is right now, you can be taught mechanics and fundamentals that will help you exceed and be faster, move quicker, and be more explosive.  Come train at the Utah Speed Academy and get the advantage!"
