“You can’t teach speed.”

“You can’t teach speed.”
 
Says who?
 
Jacoby Ellsbury is the first to admit he’s always been fast. But between his early days at Oregon State University and the weeks before the draft, he’d cut his 60 time from 6:5 to 6:29.  And now, just two years after leading OSU to their first NCAA College World Series, Ellsbury is playing outfield for the MLB World Series Champion Boston Red Sox.  

Oh, and earning us free tacos with every stolen base.

Now that’s fast.  

This is the kid who got called up to the majors and stole home from second base on a wild pitch. He didn’t do it by settling for being one of the fastest men on the field. He wants to be THE fastest man on the field. Working with SPARQ master trainer Matt James, Ellsbury uses biometric and resistance training to hone his overall technique, adding an explosive first step to his blazing speed that makes him a monster in the outfield, lightning-quick out of the box, and a constant threat to steal and score once on base.

Whether on offense or defense, he is the opposing team’s worst nightmare.

Speed is vital to every athlete in every sport at every level, and it has been proven that, yes, you can “teach” speed. If a guy as fast as Jacoby Ellsbury can use the right training techniques to improve his speed, what are you waiting for?  

Millions of free tacos can’t be wrong.
