FAQs
Have you ever dreamed of playing hockey in the WHL? Or maybe Soccer at a world famous college in the United States, England or Germany? Make the provincial or ‘AAA’ team this upcoming year?
We’ve helped countless athletes achieve these dreams and many others. It’s nearly impossible to keep track of all our athletes’ accomplishments, but here’s a snapshot…

WHAT A WORLD-CLASS SPEED ATHLETE LOOKS LIKE
Consider the bodies of Crosby, Williams, Messi, Vonn, and LeBron…
THESE are bodies finely tuned for winning championships in speed-specific sports like hockey, soccer, basketball, etc.
And this is what you’ll get when you focus on SPEED instead of just strength.
WHAT YOU GET AT VERGIE SPEED
As Speed Specialists, we zoom in and dig deep into Speed training – the same training style as Sid The Kid, LeBron, and Messi do to dominate their sports.
We’re hyper-focused on transforming you into an elite, competitor-crushing speed athlete:
Speed Drills: develop explosive first-step speed and pulverizing pushing power.
Speed Strength: instead of becoming big and slow like a bodybuilder, put lightning in your muscles.
Speed Neurology: we’ll help you re-wire your muscles and central nervous system, strengthening the precise pathways needed to explode past opponents.
Speed Nutrition: replace your “bronze” diet with “gold” superfuel. World-class F1 cars need 100-octane rocket-fuel and so do you.
Speed Recovery: less sulking around feeling hampered by fatigue. Our strategies minimize soreness and maximize muscular rebuilding so you can train and perform at your peak level more often.
Speed Equipment: ditch the pec-dec and other bland, useless equipment you’d never see Crosby, Messi, or LeBron using. At Vergie Speed you’ll train with precisely the equipment needed to become a dominant speed athlete.
Speed Testing: stop guessing if you’re getting faster or what you need to work on. Our testing methods and machinery monitor your specific progress and uncover your specific areas for improvement. Knowing – in detail – how much better you’re getting is both motivating and exciting.
The moment you blow past a defender, catch an opponent, or score that championship-winning goal, you’ll realize how powerful your training at Vergie Speed has been.
There’s one more area to talk about. It isn’t as flashy as winning championships or scoring a hattrick, but it’s just as necessary.
PREVENTING AND MINIMIZING INJURIES
As an Elite Speed Athlete, you aren’t sauntering around a golf course or playing beer league hockey.
You’re in the heat of intense competition, firing every possible muscle fibre with maximum power for less than 60 seconds, then walking, jogging or getting off altogether.
After a few moments of recovery, you’re back at it, unleashing your body once again in an explosive bout of fire-breathing performance. That’s how it goes, play after play…. that’s the life of a speed athlete.
These wild bouts of speed and power – in both training and competition – can take their toll on your muscles, joints and bones.
That’s why – as Speed Specialists – we tune your body to minimize speed-sport injuries:
Build Your Protective Muscles: We develop your protective muscles needed to guard against speed-related injuries. Expert Warm-Ups Prepare Your Body: We take you through the proper warmups so your body is supple and ready to handle training safely.
Stretching to Minimize Injury: At the end of each session we make sure your stretching program is specifically tailored to minimize injuries and prepare you for competition.
note about stretching: let’s face it, most athletes will SAY they’ll do stretching at home, but very few actually do.
