“We’ve seen a huge difference since our son joined SpeedPro. The tailored training and focus on competition readiness helped him prepare for county championships with real confidence. He now understands how to perform under pressure.”

Parent of 400m Athlete

“SpeedPro hasn’t just improved my son’s running, it’s given him discipline, resilience, and enjoyment in sport. He’s learning valuable skills that will serve him well beyond athletics.”

Parent of 800m Athlete

“The structured programme at SpeedPro has been a game-changer for my daughter. She’s improved her times while staying injury-free, thanks to the attention given to recovery, conditioning, and correct running mechanics.”

“Since joining SpeedPro, my son’s confidence has grown enormously. The supportive group environment and expert coaching have made him excited to train and proud to compete. He now feels part of a team as well as an athlete in his own right.”

Parent of Junior Sprinter
SP Coached Athlete

“SpeedPro has given my daughter the foundation she needed to excel not just in athletics but in all her sports. The emphasis on correct movement and technical detail means she is stronger, more confident, and progressing every season.”

Parent of Multi-Sport Athlete
SP Coached Athlete

“My son has been coached by Bjorn for 4 years now (since age 8). The focus on good mechanics in running, plyometrics and building muscle memory for correct posture and running form has been instrumental in my son achieving his performance potential within his age category. This type of training has been fundamental to his ability to run faster and avoid injury and I know my son would not be achieving such success with all of his key sports (athletics, football and rugby) without this technical grounding.”

Parent of 800m Athlete
SP Coached Athlete

“My daughter has been part of Bjorn’s group for several years. He has helped instil a love for athletics, and his focus on drills has given my daughter confidence when she runs. Bjorn makes his sessions fun and informative, and I have also learned a lot over the years. The best part is that she has applied what she learned to other sports (netball, tennis). She looks forward to training each week as he has a great group of young athletes across all abilities.”

Parent of Throws Athlete
SP Coached Athlete

“Over the four-day Speed Pro course, Bjorn identified three aspects of my running style that needed work: my chin position, arm movement, and legs! He helped me understand why each is important and why it will make me run faster. A series of drills helped this. I improved my running style more in four days than in the previous two years.”
