You want to grow? Back it up with effort. You want to be a better coach? Get uncomfortable. You want to impact human beings? Continue learning, experimenting on yourself, and leading. Pride yourself on providing the best experience and service possible? Better be getting out there and surrounding yourself with the BEST. It’s easy to want these things and even proclaim them from behind a screen 📺 … and too many in our industry do it. The @universal_speed summit is an opportunity to move the needle. I had the opportunity to teach, guide and LEARN from the best coaches in the country this past weekend. People that are doing it for the right reasons, period. Each year I come home with a better understanding, bigger visions of the future, and more outstanding humans to lean on for guidance throughout the year. I’m better for it, HansenAthletics is better for it, and my athletes will be getting an ever better experience. This is just the beginning. Locked and loaded for a big push. LET’S GO.

Last night, I recorded a FTC Podcast with Cale Sanders @CoachSanders88, HC of the Carlsbad Cavemen. Carlsbad was the first 🏈 team accepted into the @universal_speed FTC Academy. They’ve gone 100% Sprint Based Football after attending our clinic in Saraland, AL, in Jan 2025.

In 1999, I began to record, rank, and publish everything. I had the best technology of the time (a stopwatch & Excel). I taped rankings to the walls of our pole-barn weight room. We were 4x1 state champs four of the next five years. Measure meaningful things to make meaningful things more meaningful. Les Spellman and @universal_speed have created a new world. The Feed the Cats Academy takes record, rank, and publish to the next level. The academy is backed by trusted friend Dr. Ken Clark and the Speed Science Institute to ensure proper protocols are followed on data collection and scoring. The Academy is open. 10 founding programs will be accepted. More will be accepted later. Apply now! feedthecatsacademy.com

Athletes will lose 8-12% of their speed over the course of a season. That is a massive decline. Unless you train speed during the season. The choice is yours
