Lee Taft Speed Academy devotes itself to the proper development of young athletes and we back our decision with scientific, practical and proven techniques. We believe our system is the right one for your child. As stated earlier, we do not want to fool you into believing we can make lasting changes in a short “six-week program.” Although there is value in learning basic techniques within a short program, we realize in order for motor programs to be properly engrained in the nervous system athletes need to have longer exposures to training. Don’t be misguided into thinking your son or daughter made lasting improvements in only a few weeks when some improvement was seen. You must realize any new exposure to training can bring about a positive response simply because it is new and the nervous system likes new stimulus. If the training exposure is stopped chances are the improvements will diminish and it will not be a long-term adaptation. This is why LTSA believes we must train for the long term and not use a quick “hit or miss” approach, which is so commonly used.

Lee Taft Speed Academy partners with diverse organizations and individuals to be a leader for positive change in the future of our youth. We educate participants on the benefits of a proven long-term developmental approach that will bring safer and stronger results. With our sound developmental approach, athletes will have far greater potential to reach their athletic, physical and emotional goals for a lifetime.

Lee Taft Speed Academy is built on years of practical and scientific experience working with athletes of all ages. We believe a long-term development approach begins with a foundation and builds with progressive steps meeting the physical, emotional and mental developmental stage of the athlete. By following a sound approach, together we can map out a plan for successful results and ensure a lifelong future of quality physical abilities.
