Speed Development in Tampa, FL and Paducah, KY

Speed Development

Speed Development at Starks Sports Training is built for athletes who want to move faster, react quicker, and gain a competitive edge on the field or court. This performance-driven program uses a science-based, coach-led approach to improve acceleration, top-end speed, and change of direction. Each session blends sprint mechanics, explosive power drills, reaction work, resisted sprints, and agility training to enhance both linear and lateral movement. Athletes are coached in proper technique and form to maximize performance and reduce injury risk, using turf-based drills, timing systems, sled work, and plyometrics that translate directly to sport.

Powered by the 1080 Sprint, the gold standard in speed development technology, our program measures every stride, providing real-time feedback and data on force, power, and sprint mechanics. The result: smarter training, faster progress, and measurable gains in speed, power, and confidence that show up when it matters most.
