THE GAME-SPEED REVOLUTION: UNLOCK ELITE MULTI-DIRECTIONAL SPEED & QUICKNESS w/ LEE TAFT

SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 2026

Join the World’s Foremost Authority on Reactive Agility for a Deep-Dive 1-Day Seminar

sTOP TRAINING FOR THE LADDER.

START TRAINING FOR THE GAME.

In my 20+ years of coaching and 19 years of owning Vigor Ground Fitness and Performance, I’ve seen thousands of athletes who look "fast" in a drill but get left behind the second the whistle blows. There is a massive difference between athletes that are good at “drills”  and ones that have "game speed” and make defenders look like statues. 

Lee Taft has spent his career bridging that gap.

Lee doesn't just teach you how to move; he teaches you how to react. In the chaos of a game, you don’t have time to think about your footwork—you only have time to make the next play. 

This intimate seminar is about the specific mechanics of movement that allow an athlete to change direction, decelerate, and explode in any direction with no effort and have a big competitive advantage over their opponent.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

This is a hands-on, intensive experience designed for coaches who want to master the "how" and "why" behind elite movement and develop their athletes to the highest level:

- The Reactive First Step: Learn the mechanics of the "plyo step" and how to train your athletes to explode out of a standstill the moment they see a play develop.

- Elite Deceleration & Braking: Speed is useless if you can't stop. Master the mechanics of "loading the brakes" to change direction faster than your opponent.

- Linear vs. Lateral Integration: How to seamlessly transition from a backpedal or lateral shuffle into a full-speed sprint without losing momentum.

- The Mechanics of the Cut: A deep dive into the angles and force production required to make sharp, injury-resistant cuts under pressure.

-Programming for Game Speed: How to move beyond generic speed drills and integrate reactive agility into your existing strength and conditioning programs.

-Coaching the Chaos: Strategies for creating "safe-to-fail" training environments that force athletes to explore the edges of their movement capacity

MEET LEE TAFT

"THE SPEED GUY"

Lee is highly respected as one of the top athletic movement specialists in the world. In the last 35 years, he has devoted most of his time to training all ages and abilities. He has spent most of his time teaching his multi-directional speed methods to top performance coaches and fitness professionals worldwide. Lee has also dedicated countless hours to mentoring up-and-coming sports performance trainers, many of whom have gone into the profession and made a significant impact themselves.

Since 1989, Lee has taught foundation movement to beginning youngsters and helped young amateur and professional athletes become quicker, faster, and stronger. Lee’s entire philosophy is based on one of his most notable quotes, “Learning athletic movement correctly from the start is the foundation for athletic success.”

With the release of Ground Breaking Athletic Movement in 2003, Lee revolutionized the performance industry with his proven methods and strategies for multi-directional speed. His innovative approach to training has impacted how athletic movement speed is taught.

Lee brought to light the importance and fine points of the “Plyo Step,” “Hip Turn,” “Lateral Run,” and athletic stance. According to Lee, “Speed and agility done right are about making sure we marry the natural movements athletes have with the effective and efficient body control to maximize speed and quickness.”

Lee has been asked to speak at numerous global strength and conditioning and sports performance events and has produced multiple instructional videos and courses in multi-directional speed and movement training. In addition, Lee has written several manuals on movement techniques and speed development.
