Focused Introduction to Performance Rx

The Speed Mechanics Clinic is a stand-alone experience designed to introduce athletes to the key mechanics that drive speed and efficient movement and the coaching standards used within Performance Rx. This clinic provides focused instruction on sprint mechanics and movement efficiency while offering athletes and families a clear look at how speed is trained within a long-term development system.

The clinic is introductory and educational in nature. It is not required before participating in any other Performance Rx training or programs.

Athletes will leave with a better understanding of how speed works, common movement errors, and drills they can apply immediately—whether or not they continue on to additional training.

Who the Speed Mechanics Clinic Is For

The Speed Mechanics Clinic is appropriate for competitive athletes who:

  • Want to learn the foundations of speed mechanics

  • Are curious about Performance Rx training before committing to a longer program

  • Want practical takeaways they can use right away

  • Are new to structured speed training

Clinic Focus

  • The Speed Mechanics Clinic focuses exclusively on the technical components of sprinting. The goal is to improve understanding, efficiency, and execution—not to fatigue athletes.

  • Key areas include:

    • Sprint posture and alignment

    • Acceleration mechanics

    • Force application and intent

    • Movement rhythm and efficiency

    • Common technical errors that limit speed development

  • Athletes are coached using the same language, expectations, and standards applied within Performance Rx programs.

Clinic Structure

Duration: One day, three hours
