Option 01
Acceleration mechanics
First-step quickness, sprint posture, arm action, and efficient force into the ground.
- First-step quickness
- Sprint mechanics
- Repeat acceleration
Why speed matters
Speed training should create better soccer movement, not just faster drills.
TWFC Speed & Agility gives players targeted work on the movements that decide moments: first step, stopping power, sharp cuts, body control, reaction, and recovery into the next action.
- Build the first step. Players learn how to load, push, and accelerate with cleaner mechanics before speed becomes repeatable.
- Own change of direction. Cutting, decelerating, turning, and reaccelerating are trained with control so players can move aggressively without wasting steps.
- React inside the game. The work should show up when a player separates, closes space, presses, recovers, or wins the next action.
Training focus
Built for the movements soccer players actually need.
The program can serve an individual player who needs sharper movement, a small group building athletic habits, or a team that needs a shared speed and agility block.
Option 02
Change of direction
Training the ability to stop, cut, turn, and reaccelerate with balance and intent.
- Deceleration
- Cutting angles
- Body control
Option 03
Reaction and recovery
Soccer-specific reaction work that helps players respond faster after the ball, opponent, or space changes.
- Reaction speed
- Recovery steps
- Game carryover
How we train
Fast is useful only when it is controlled.
Sessions prioritize the movement qualities that help players arrive sooner, adjust cleaner, and stay prepared for the next action.
01
Acceleration
First step, sprint posture, arm action, drive angles, and repeat starts.
02
Deceleration
Stopping mechanics, braking strength, balance, and control before the next move.
03
Change of direction
Cuts, turns, reacceleration, hip position, footwork, and efficient angles.
04
Reaction speed
Visual cues, decision response, recovery runs, pressure moments, and game-speed habits.
Coach-led speed work
Led by Coach Daryl Richardson.
Coach Daryl brings a professional athlete’s understanding of speed, acceleration, and competitive movement. As a former NFL running back drafted by the St. Louis Rams after playing at Abilene Christian, he knows how to teach explosiveness, body control, and repeatable speed with a standard players can feel.
His work gives TWFC players access to speed training that is disciplined, clear, and connected to sport. The goal is not to chase stopwatch numbers alone. The goal is movement that helps players win real soccer moments.

Who it helps
Players who need sharper movement, cleaner speed, and faster responses.
This is for players who need to separate faster, close space sooner, turn cleaner, recover quicker, and move with more confidence under pressure. It can support individual athletes, small groups, or teams that need a focused athletic-development block.
