Coach Testimonials
Velocity training during the summer of our 2006 season was a huge key in our success in winning a Regional Championship. Our kids were trained properly, thereforre preventing those nagging injuries (hamstring pulls, quad pulls, hip flexor strains) that can plague a football team. Our players showed up in great shape and collectively faster as a group. All of these factors allowed us to spend more time practicing football and getting better, rather than conditioning to get into shape. Velocity training on site was one of the best decisions I made for our team.

As the manager and head coach of an elite 18u fastpitch softball team, I am always looking for ways for my players to gain an advantage over their opponent. Velocity Sports Performance has helped my players gain that advantage.
Shane and his knowledgeable staff have structured the training for my players to meet demands of the game of softball, which have made them quicker and stronger. In addition to these benefits, they have the endurance to withstand the extreme heat of our summer season, and our injuries have decreased significantly. My players use the Velocity drills as their pre-game warm-ups, which allows them more valuable practice time on the field.
Over the last three off-seasons, Velocity has helped my players improve in many aspects of their game, and I would recommend Velocity Sports Performance to anyone who is serious about gaining a competitive edge in their selected sport. Richmond Ruckus Elite 18u has made Velocity a permanent part of our organization.

Velocity played an important role in our success last fall with the many services that they provided over the off-season. Starting in January, two of my players went up and took part in an 8 week program to help prepare them for the Nike Combine and regional Elite 11, both did incredible and I contribute that to the work that they did with Velocity. Shane sat down with my strength coach, Buzz Edwards, and designed our three phase workout for the year in the weight room and came down twice a week during the spring and did one hour speed sessions with my team, the results were the best off-season results in my 18 years as a coach, we broke ALL of Dinwiddie's strength and speed records and set the tone for an incredible season. Finally, Shane came down and gave a stirring pre-game speech that led to the biggest win in my tenior at Dinwiddie. Thanks Shane and Velocity for all of the help you have given our program, you get results and those results turned into wins on the field for us.

The Central Virginia Vipers staff have been so pleased with the quality and service we have received from Shane Sykes and all of the people at Velocity Sports Performance. Shane and his staff went above and beyond my expectations to meet our needs. My coaches and athletes loved the training and technique tips that they provided us. My team actually had a scheduling conflict on the day of the tryout and we called Shane 911 and within 2 hours we had our complete tryout. Shane tested all of our 35 participating athletes by himself. I cannot say enough about his overall knowledge and professionalism with training athletes. Shane also gave the team a motivational pep talk that had the guys ready to hit the football field immediately. On behalf of the Central Virginia Vipers staff and players, we want to say THANK YOU!
