Coaching Methods

True to the name, our focus is on increasing your abilities and speed on the race course. A distinguishing characteristic of SpeedSHOT Racing is the incorporation of speed (technique / skills) & power training into a training program early on, maximizing the athlete's potential for improvements as they move closer to their race.

Don't fool yourself to think that this blindly ignores the well establish principles of training (adaptation, specificity, and progression). We develop your training around these principles and achieve our extraordinary results by thinking and taking you outside the box for extraordinary training and performances.

Coach Mark's foundation of knowledge of training principles, methods, and application are backed by proven results and experience as an athlete, an NSCA: Strength & Conditioning Specialist, as coach with USA Triathlon and USA Cycling, and his background in Physical Therapy and Stress Management and Feedback. With this blend of skills and knowledge, we carefully craft a program that will continue to develop you as an athlete and performer.

 

The Spirit of SPEED Philosophy

"SpeedSHOT Racing is dedicated to creating within each client the excitement and enjoyment of going fast and to foster the spirit of competition. To keep it in perspective, we believe this means that for each client there is a goal of improving themselves, and proving to themselves. We aim to provide for each client the atmosphere of support and motivation necessary to achieve those goals."

As a part of that we dedicate ourselves to providing our clients the numerous opportunities to challenge themselves. In this spirit, athletes have many opportunities to participate in team workouts, clinics, and team competitions. We believe that the support of participation and competition within the team provides athletes the greatest opportunity to push themselves and experience the thrill of success.

And overall you will find our coaches providing leadership and support within our multi-sport community by participation and voicing the needs of the community through the sport's governing bodies and local organizations.

Respectfully - Yours in Speed,

Mark Kendall - Head Coach
