Speed Training Las Cruces
Speed Is Measured, Not Guessed
Every athlete at Built Sports Performance Academy starts with a timed baseline. We find out exactly how you accelerate, how fast you top out, and how you change direction, then build a plan around where you lose time.
Our speed work is built from your numbers, not a generic sprint template. Programs target acceleration, top speed, and change of direction, and we retest every quarter so you can see exactly what moved.
- Speed is measured, not guessed: timed data, not opinions.
- Athletes start with a timed baseline before anything is programmed.
- Programs target acceleration, top speed, and change of direction.
How We Build Speed
Speed training at BUILT starts with a measurement, not a sprint. Every athlete moves through the same four-step sequence, so you can see exactly where time is being lost and how the plan closes that gap.
-
1
Test
We start with a timed speed and agility baseline on Hawkins Dynamics force plates and the USR Spellman digital speed system. The numbers show how your athlete produces force and how fast they move before anything is programmed.

2
Find the Weak Point
Speed is not one thing. We separate acceleration, top speed, and change of direction, then use McLLOYD speed development data to find which one is holding your athlete back.
-
3
Program
Sprint mechanics, strength, and power work are built from that weak point and delivered individually, at a frequency that fits school and season. Two athletes in the same sport can leave with very different plans.
-
4
Retest
Every quarter, your athlete is retested on the same measures and receives a written progress report. If the numbers have not moved, the plan changes. For how the full Built Method works, see the athlete evaluation page.

Speed Questions, Answered
Parents and athletes in Las Cruces ask us the same things before they book. Here are straight answers, based on how we actually train speed at BUILT.
How do I get faster for football in Las Cruces?
We start with a timed speed and agility baseline, then work out whether your athlete loses time in acceleration, top speed, or change of direction. Football athletes train position-specific movement from there, retested every quarter so you can see the change.
Do youth athletes need speed training?
Younger athletes benefit from speed work when it is built on technique and coordination first. Our Youth Development program for 5th to 7th graders focuses on running mechanics and movement skills in an age-appropriate way before anything heavier is added.
What is the best speed training program for high school athletes in Las Cruces?
The best program is one built from your athlete's own tested numbers, not a generic sprint template. High school athletes in our Academy get an individualized plan, semi-private coaching, and a written progress report after each quarterly retest.
How much does speed training cost in Las Cruces?
Exact costs are set at the athlete evaluation, once we know your athlete's goals, training frequency, and schedule. That way we can talk about value honestly, in person. See what the evaluation includes.
