THE PURESPEED METHOD
Tommy Zbikowski has been relentless in his pursuit of innovative and effective training techniques. From boxing in his youth in the inner-city of Chicago to playing for the NFL Baltimore Ravens, Tommy Z has decided to share his knowledge of sports performance through Tommy Z’s PureSpeed Sports Clinic.
Tommy has collaborated with Sports Performance Coach, John Alder. John has over twenty years of experience in the arena of sports performance enhancement and has trained and prepared over 25 athletes for success in their professional sports careers.
PureSpeed is developed through various treadmill workouts focusing on running mechanics, form and overspeed training. Additionally, ground-based drills are added to increase foot speed, agility and body awareness for sport specific movements. PureSpeed Sports Clinic offers supplementary services, including body composition analysis, individually tailored nutrition programs, additional weight-training sessions and sports rehabilitation/chiropractic services provided by Turner Pain & Wellness Center.
When participating in PureSpeed’s program, you will complete 12, 60-90 minute sessions over a four week period; each “level” is four weeks in length. All athletes will begin at Level 1 (skill level is taken into consideration) and progress from there. A pre-test and post-test will be completed with a comprehensive report compiled upon completion of our program. The average overall speed improvements made by athletes ages 10-14 is 13.7%. The average overall speed improvements made by athletes ages 15 and above is 10.1%.
For best results, athletes come in three times per week (preferably M, W, F or T, TR, S) allowing a day in between sessions for rest and recovery. Two different treadmills are used; one is the Force Treadmill focusing on power and strength; the other Speed Treadmill focuses on speed but more importantly proper running form. The third component is plyometrics or ground work, which focuses on foot speed, agility and coordination. In addition, an all inclusive membership to World Gym is included for one month upon registration with PureSpeed.
