How we help coaches
At Speedworks Training we emphasise coach education with as much importance as athlete development. As such we have extended the reach of services to offer extensive coach development opportunities throughout the year.
Learn how top coaches think
Alongside our own expert coaches, we deliver a variety of workshops, webinars and educational services in collaboration with other industry leaders to discuss all things speed and rehab.
Gain practical experience
Coaching is about problem solving. With 10 year experience, we know what is important and what isn't. We read all the latest research and figure out if it is relevant to practical coaching. We teach through self-practice; trying the exercises as a coach to discover why it works yourself.

Speedworks Mentorship Scheme (SMS)
The coach mentorship scheme revolves around three key areas; planning, coaching and reflection.
To accelerate you through the coaching process, together we will develop long term coaching case studies through the use of speed profiling and the three key areas mentioned above.
You will be asked to nominate yourself, a client, colleague or squad of players that you can plan, coach and monitor their development over time. This ideally works with clients/players you work with on a day to day basis, but can also include those you coach online or indeed yourself.
What's included
- Initial 45 min review to identify the needs of the coach, discuss the process and to plan the monthly contact times
- 2 hour monthly review session at Loughborough University. This can be spent going through practical training scenarios with just yourself or your accompanying athlete/player, reviewing video and data of previous training cycles, talking on logistics of work/life and relationship building, observing coaching and anything else we believe could accelerate your learning and application. If face to face is not possible then we can provide the session on zoom.
- Video feedback and analysis from footage you have provided.
- 2 x 30min appointments via phone/zoom per month. This can be used to trouble shoot and identify areas that you need guidance on relevant to video feedback shared or any new issues that have arisen.
This mentorship scheme requires a minimum commitment of 3 months so that we can go on this journey together. If you would like additional contacts, club visits and video analysis performed for entire squads, this can be arranged.
