We sit down with Michael Drach, long-time speed coach and private-sector operator with over 20 years of experience training athletes from youth to the NFL. Michael walks through how his speed system evolved from sleds and bungees to motorized resistance, and why the 1080 Sprint became a turning point for both performance and business.
We dig deep into change of direction, deceleration, and the eccentric-to-concentric transition that separates athletes who can cut from those who get stuck. From dialing in loads across age groups to applying overspeed with control, this episode is a practical look at how high-level speed training actually gets applied in a private setting.
We cover:
-Michael’s coaching background and evolution of his speed toolbox
-From sleds and bungees to the 1080 Sprint and 1080 Sprint 2
-Using instant feedback to drive intent and sprint quality
-How he trains change of direction and amortization
-Deceleration vs cutting and why both matter
-Load selection for youth, high school, and elite athletes
-Building confidence with heavier COD loads
-Applying overspeed safely and progressively
-Why max velocity is the hardest quality to improve
-Using the 1080 as both a coaching and business advantage
More episodes coming with coaches breaking down speed, deceleration, and real-world training systems inside and outside the team setting.
