Biography

In 1999, Coach Loren Seagrave co-founded Velocity Sports Performance in Marietta, Georgia. While studying science in college, Loren developed a passion for coaching when he saw other athletes struggling to make improvements to their speed and power. As a scientist and an athlete, Coach Seagrave came to the radical conclusion early in his career that speed - the single biggest determiner in an athlete's success - could be taught.  
 
Over the next three decades, Coach Seagrave's unique, results-oriented coaching system brought him worldwide attention. High demand for his proven methods led him to the private coaching arena, where he helped world-class athletes achieve improvements in speed, agility, power, and performance. A five-time, NCAA Track & Field Champion coach, Coach's Seagrave's client list includes over 50 Olympic medal winners, first round NFL draft picks, and professionals from virtually every sport. Loren has coached such sprint talents as Donovan Bailey and Andre Cason (Silver medal in World Championship 100m).  Coach Seagrave has also coached three of the top ten US women 100-meter sprinters of all time: Dawn Sowell, Sheila Echols, and Gwen Torrence. He is regarded as one of the most renowned speed and sports performance coaches in the world and one of the leading experts of applied sports science to today's high performance athlete.  
 
Coach Seagrave founded Velocity Sports Performance in 1999. Velocity Sports Performance grew from his idea that enhanced mainstream athletic training - training similar to the type received by the pros - could create better, happier, less-injury prone athletes. In creating Velocity Sports Performance, Coach Seagrave wanted to help kids improve their speed, get off the bench, and stay in the game - not just for a season, but for a lifetime.
 
Loren holds a BS in Physical Education from the University of Wisconsin. He is a co-author of the SPEED DYNAMICS Training System. His approach empowers both the coach and athlete, giving them the knowledge and the tools necessary to become self-sufficient in their quest for excellence.
