What Our Customers Are Saying

CJ, It's been a major confidence booster between speed training and the 7v7. Can't wait to see the difference it makes come June and all the different football camps we are planning on attending. Since Brodan joined Elite Speed's training program we've seen tremendous improvement in every aspect of his running. From his overall form to his starts as well as high end speed. He looks more fluid and athletic out on the field and most importantly his confidence is through the roof. I've recommended Elite Speed and Coach James to everyone who's looking to increase their kid's overall athletic ability.

Matt Lewis,

Father of Brodan Lewis (Highland HS)

My son has been training at Elite Speed for approximately two years. In the beginning, he was uncoordinated and struggled with the drills. However, as time progressed under CJ’s guidance he has become stronger, faster and more athletic. Additionally, he always looks forward to “going to speed.” CJ’s workouts are challenging and fun. I highly recommend the program to parents of any athlete. Can’t wait to see the progress as my son continues to grow!

Derek Maguire,

Dad of Kyren Magurie

I was looking for a program that was affordable and taught speed, strength and agility techniques. I came across Elite Speed and it fit what i was looking for in training and cost. My granddaughter and I decided to go in to visit and after talking to Coach CJ my granddaughter got a chance to do a trial session. We had finally found what was needed for her to challenge and maximize her ability to compete on a national level again. I was impressed with the training techniques, moral support and encouraging Elite Speed had to offer. Not only that, Coach CJ encourages healthy eating, good grades and importance of being respectful. My granddaughter is a Type 1 diabetic and sometimes working out is a challenge for her . Coach CJ observes when she needs a break. This is very important for her training. I really appreciate that type of care and understanding from a coach. Coach CJ is not just a coach, he is also a great mentor too. I am sincerely grateful with the techniques my granddaughter has learned at Elite Speed.

Elite Speed has made our sons better athletes throughout the years while training in high school and preparing for college football. They have both become faster and more athletic. CJ is a constant motivator and holds them to high standards. He is a great person and extremely easy to train with. Training at Elite Speed has been very beneficial in their development.

Mike & Stephanie Micheal,

Parents of Ty Micheal (McKendree) & Colt Micheal (O'Fallon Township HS)

As a father that is also a coach, I found myself looking for a place that can teach my kids how to run properly, and I can honestly say that Elite Speed is the place. Not only do they show you proper running form and have the top notch training equipment, but Elite Speed understand the science/technology behind getting faster. As a result of going there for the past few years, I now believe that speed can be taught! I have and will continue to recommend Elite Speed and their services. Thanks Coach CJ…

Sam Boyd,

Father of Ryan & Carson Boyd (East St. Louis HS)

Since starting training with Coach James a few months ago, we've seen a great improvement in my daughter's speed on the softball field. Coach James has improved her flexibility and core strength and even studied softball pitching mechanics to design private training workouts geared to her position. Coach James knows how to push athletes to test their limits while maintaining a fun environment that keeps kids coming back. We are very grateful for his help and would recommend him to any parent seeking the best speed and agility training for their child, regardless the sport. He can make a noticeable positive impact on a young athlete's performance right away. Coach James is our secret weapon for success.
