Speed for Sport Academy is a registered charity. Our 1-2-1 sessions give every young person — whatever their background — access to elite-level coaching. The same methods. The same standards. The same methods. The same standards. Just more accessible.

We keep it simple. Your first session is about understanding your young athlete — how they move, what sport they play, and where they want to go.
No jargon. No overwhelm. Just clear, focused coaching from someone who has been at the highest levels of the sport and knows what it actually takes.
The trial session is fully delivered — it’s not a taster or a sales pitch. It’s a real session. We want you to see the difference coaching makes before you commit to anything.

Developing race technique, acceleration, and competition confidence. From first strides to serious performance.

Speed for football, rugby, basketball — transferred into real game situations, not just straight-line drills.

Building movement confidence from scratch. Age 5 upwards. No experience needed — just a willingness to try.

Group sessions are great for energy and enjoyment. But sometimes a young athlete needs focused attention — to build confidence, fix something specific, or push through to the next level.
That’s what 1-2-1 is for. Your coach isn’t dividing attention across ten kids. They’re watching one athlete, giving real feedback in real time, and adapting the session as it happens.
We keep the coaching simple. Not because it’s easy, but because simplicity is what works — especially at the development stage. Clear cues. Direct feedback. Progress you can see in a single session.

Tim has represented Great Britain and Ghana at the European Championships, World Championships, and Commonwealth Games. He knows what elite coaching looks like — and he built Speed for Sport Academy so that young people in Yorkshire could access it too.
That’s the whole point. The same coaching knowledge that shaped his career — simplified, made direct, made accessible. The KISS principle: Keep It Simple and Specific. Because clarity is what creates progress, especially with young athletes.
Tim is currently completing his MSc in Sports Performance Coaching at the University of Stirling. His coaching is grounded in evidence, refined by experience, and driven by a genuine belief that sport changes lives.
