The Acceleration Program isn't just for all-stars. It helps athletes of all levels of athletic ability improve. If you are willing to work hard, you're sure to improve speed, quickness, strength and self confidence. Put more in, get more out. Our goal is to help every participant become a better athlete, no matter what level they're at when they come through our doors.
Since beginning in 1992 many athletes have used the Tekulve Acceleration Training™ Sports program to become Quicker, Faster and Stronger. It has been used by athletes from the NFL, NHL, NBA and Major League Baseball. In the Greater Cincinnati area we have trained over 21,000 Jr. High, High School and collegiate athletes as well as members of the Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Kings, Cincinnati Bengals, Olympic Women's Soccer Team and the Cincinnati Ladyhawks Professional Soccer team.

First, you go through very thorough strength, flexibility, speed and agility evaluations to tell us about your athletic ability and conditioning as you begin our program. This evaluation covers every major muscle in your body!
You should plan to schedule 3 sessions per week for 7 consecutive weeks for maximal strength and physiological gains. You will run on the Super Treadmill two times a week, and perform Plyometric exercises once a week. The athlete will also do weight training twice a week. We'll help you plan your schedule when you begin. At the end of the program, you receive a final evaluation so you can actually see how much you have improved.
Advanced levels of training also use the lower body sprint/sportcords.

Super Treadmill is used to analyze and improve your running mechanics. Qualified professionals will determine improper gait and running mechanics. We help you lengthen and quicken your stride, so you're faster and more agile. You'll use the treadmill to run in gradually increasing speed sprints, so your body is conditioned to recover quicker between bouts of exercise.

Plyometrics are footwork drills to improve your balance, agility, endurance and vertical jump. You'll gain outstanding body awareness and the ability to move quickly and explosively to make that first step quicker.

Strength training involves the use of specific Lower body weight lifting equipment to improve your power base. Young athletes use modified strength-building techniques to increase their strength.

You should start of the program 8-9 weeks prior to your season. This will give you time to finish the program and allow for recovery and a rest period prior to your first day of practice with your team. If a vacation or other plans will get you off of your 7-week consecutive regimen, move your starting date to allow extra completion of the program. Athletes must allow 10-14 days of rest prior to starting their practice with their teams for maximal gains. You have 6 months to complete the program, but remember you'll gain the best results if your training isn't interrupted by more than one week during the 7-week training session. So keep on track!

The Tekulve Acceleration Training Program, has 3 levels in the core running programs as well as additional sport and position-specific protocols. Each level of training involves greater intensity. Once you've been through one level, then participated in your sport, you may want to come back for the next level, or you may want to complete the levels in succession. We can keep you "in shape" and conditioned for your specific sport also, with our in season training session performed once a week.

Camps teach you specific skills for your sport. Tekulve Acceleration Training program focuses on developing and Building Better Athletes by increasing speed, strength, quickness, jumping ability and overall conditioning. While our price is the same as many camps, you get far more one-on-one time with professionals and you get 7 to 8 weeks to absorb and practice what you're learning.

Come dressed to work out, have shorts, T-shirt and  Basketball/court or cross trainers to change into.

Quality running shoes are best for the treadmill training. Basketball/court or cross trainers are recommended for plyometric workouts. You'll begin with an initial jumping evaluation, then a plyometric session and strength evaluation on our weight equipment.
You'll want to eat a light meal two to three hours prior to your appointment. Bananas, grapes and crackers and juice are good choices if you want to or need to bring a snack.
