Dear Coach,

My name is Charlie Newman and I am a professional football speed coach. I am also the owner of 4two40speed training and  the creator of the top football speed program known as Competitive Foot Speed (CFS).  What makes CFS the best speed program to improve football speed is our understanding of how to train linear speed and then effectively integrating it into multi-directional speed and quickness. By combining the two, the program has significantly improved all aspects of an athlete’s field speed i.e., straight line, diagonal, front to back and acceleration.

Competitive Foot Speed effectively accomplishes two objectives on the football field. First, the program is clinically proven to lower athletes’ 40-yard dash times and improve overall team speed. Secondly, athletes who are trained on CFS and multi-directional speed and quickness can be used strategically on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball as weapons. To ensure we have accomplished this end, we use electronic timing to establish baselines, conduct daily training and  to track and an athletes 12=week improvement.

How is CFS Training Effective in the Passing Game?

CFS is effective because it trains the four phases of the 40-yard dash: start, drive, acceleration, and maximum velocity, which mirrors the three phases of the passing game: short, intermediate, and vertical.

How is CFS Training Effective as a Defensive Strategy?

As a defensive strategy, timing is everything to an offense. Quarterbacks are trained to make their reads within 1 to 3 seconds of the ball being snapped. By improving the start to drive phase of your defensive players as well as improving the transition to maximum the velocity phase of your defensive secondary, you can disrupt timing and significantly improve coverage to weaponize your defense.

Both NC and South Carolina perennial high school football powers have used my program. These are just a few of those program: Byrums High School, Dutch Fork High School, Providence Day High School, Myers Park High School, J M Robinson High School, and Independence High School.  

CFS has been proven to help other high school programs win. Let’s discuss how an increase in football speed can give your team a competitive advantage. Feel free to send an email to me at c[email protected] or call 704-917-8359.
