Why We Created Athletes Untapped

Build Explosiveness, Agility & Athletic Confidence

Our private strength and speed coaches work with youth athletes across all sports who want to move better, faster, and stronger. Whether your athlete needs sport-specific performance training or simply wants to get in better shape, our coaches design sessions around their goals. Training is structured, intentional, and built on proper movement mechanics. We focus on long-term development – not quick fixes.

Acceleration, Footwork & Game-Speed Movement

Speed isn’t just about running fast in a straight line. Our coaches teach acceleration mechanics, change-of-direction technique, and reactive footwork drills that translate directly into competition. Athletes work through ladder drills, cone work, sprint mechanics, and lateral movement patterns. Improved agility and burst help players stand out in any sport.

Strength Training Built for Growing Athletes

Youth strength training requires proper form and supervision. Our coaches emphasize bodyweight movements, foundational lifts, core stability, and safe resistance progression. Sessions are designed to increase strength without compromising mobility or growth. Athletes gain confidence as they build measurable power and control.

Plyometrics, Jumps & Explosive Power

To improve vertical jump, first-step quickness, and overall explosiveness, our coaches incorporate plyometric training and controlled jump progressions. Athletes train through box jumps, bounding drills, and medicine ball work to develop lower-body power. We carefully balance intensity and recovery to maximize results safely. Explosive power often becomes the difference-maker in competitive play.

Sport-Specific or General Athletic Development – We Do Both

Some athletes train with us to improve speed and power for soccer, football, basketball, or other sports. Others come simply to get stronger, faster, and more confident in their bodies. Our strength and speed coaches build personalized programs that match each athlete’s needs. Whether performance-driven or fitness-focused, we help youth athletes move better and feel stronger.

How to Get Faster, Stronger, & More Explosive – and What Actually Improves Athletic Performance

Speed and strength training isn’t just about working harder – it’s about training the right way. We sat down with Preston Wilson, one of our top strength and speed coaches, to break down what actually helps athletes get faster, stronger, and more explosive.

In this conversation, Preston explains why so many athletes plateau – and how better structure, movement quality, and consistency can unlock real progress. From sprint mechanics and agility to strength training and injury prevention, this is about building athletes who perform better in games, not just in workouts. There’s a strong focus on long-term development: building a foundation, staying healthy, and maximizing athletic potential over time.

If you’re a parent looking for strength and speed training for your athlete, or an athlete trying to get faster, stronger, and more confident on the field or court, this is exactly the kind of guidance that makes a difference.
