Making The Switch To In Season Training
Making The Switch To In Season Training
By Aaron Thigpen, Gamespeed Sports Performance
Jan 2019
The Start of the Highschool season is right around the corner. Hopefully you are finishing up a well planned off season training regiment (Right??). You’ve got gains, felling good, ready to go. Well the start of the competitive season doesn’t mean the work has to stop. For some the highschool season is just a segway into the more important Summer Season. How do you have a solid prep season and be prepared for the Summer? The answer, a In Season Training program! It will, maintain your performance gains and finish the high school season strong. If planned out correctly, It doesn’t take as much time and effort (as off season training) but it does take consistency.
The benefits of in season training:
- Sustain muscle strength for power.
- Sustain connective tissue health to reduce likelihood of repetitive stress injuries.
- Sustain endurance to maintain a higher level of play.
- Sustain durability to handle to rigors of multiple competitions, scrimmages and practices throughout the week.
- Most importantly to bridge your readiness for the upcoming summer season.
What Should You Do?
- At minimum train a total of two- four hours total […]

The Power of Resistance Running in Speed Training
The Power of Resistance Running to Improve Speed
There a many forms of resistance running exercises to improve speed. Anyone looking to improve speed should have this type of component in their training regiment.
Resistance training benefits include the development of better ground forces to propel the body as well as improving stride length.
Some of the most popular forms include: hills, parachutes, partner, tires and sleds and variable mechanical devices.
All can be effective at some level. Here is how I rank their effectiveness. Best to least.
1. Variable Resistance – capability to adjust athlete appropriate load/resistance.
2. Sleds – also adjustable but cumbersome to use. Multiple weights to change load.
3. Hills – no variable resistance, need multiple hills, can lead to shin, knee back injuries.
4. Tires– cumbersome, inconsistent resistance.
5. Parachutes – can experience inconsistent resistance during acceleration.
6. Partner – only as good as the person providing resistance.
At Gamespeed we Level Up our resistance speed training by using variable load devices to provide the correct loads appropriate to each individual athlete. Not just doing it, but doing it better is what we are all about. Only the Swift Survive
Train Hard: Good
Train Smart: Better
Youth Speed Skills
Gamespeed was the first in the Bay Area to conduct youth performance training classes. The Youth Speed Skills class is still going strong 20 years later. We take a “Right Start” approach to training young athletes. We believe a strong foundation of fundamental athletic skills sets the base for future success and health in sports. We don’t copy adult training routines, we train athletes for the specific point they are in their development. That’s a program you can trust!
Youth Speed Skills Classes Are Offered All Year Long
Sundays – 9-10am
Wednesdays – 5-6pm
Saturdays – TBD
Single Session Cost: $37 (cash/check) $40 (credit)
Our Curriculum Philosophy- “Skill First Training”
We base our training on developing the pillars of athleticism: Speed, Strength, Coordination and Agility. As athletes are taught to move better you see improvements in speed and power outputs. These movement patterns allow an athlete to maximize their current level of development at each stage of their growth. Unlike most programs who take a “work until you sweat” mentality we provide your athlete with a skill set that follows them throughout their athletic career.
We really liked Aarons approach. Instead of just running the kids they were learning […]
