What can happen when an athlete decides they want to get better?

Maria D’Orazio started training at FPC in June 2023, just after finishing her freshman track season.

She had seen some of the older athletes on her team training at FPC, and she came in for a pretty simple reason:

She wanted to get better.

At the end of her freshman season, Maria’s best marks were:

100M — 13.47
200M — 30.17
Long Jump — 15'3"

Since then:

100M — 12.99
200M — 26.27
Long Jump — 18'0.5"

That’s nearly half a second faster in the 100, almost 4 seconds faster in the 200, and nearly 3 feet farther in the long jump.

I’ve had the opportunity to coach Maria both as her sprint and jump coach at Bishop Watterson and through her training at FPC.

What I like about her story isn’t just where she is now.

It’s how far she’s come.

In the long jump, Maria became a regional finalist, and her 18'0.5" jump is the #2 performance in Bishop Watterson school history.

On the track, she also helped Watterson finish 4th in the 4x100 and 2nd in the 4x200 at the 2026 Ohio Division II State Championships.

And now she’s taking the next step in her journey, competing in track & field at John Carroll University as a freshman.

Maria didn’t start training because she was already one of the best.

She started because she wanted to become better.

Then she put in the work.

That’s what athlete development is supposed to look like.

Start where you are. Put in the work. Keep getting better.

We’re proud to call Maria an , and we’re excited to see what comes next for her at John Carroll.

We don’t guess. We measure.

This photo is from quite a few years ago, but the philosophy behind it hasn’t changed.

If we’re going to ask an athlete to put in the work, we should have a way to determine whether that work is actually helping them improve.

That’s why testing has always been an important part of what we do at FPC.

Based on our testing data, FPC athletes have averaged improvements of:

• Nearly 3 inches in vertical jump
• 0.13 seconds in the 10-yard dash
• 0.15 seconds in the 20-yard dash
• 0.26 seconds in the 20-yard shuttle

Those may look like small numbers on paper.

But in competition, a fraction of a second can mean getting to the ball first, creating separation from a defender, or making a play you couldn't make before.

Individual results vary, but the goal is always the same:

Measurable improvement.

Training shouldn't just make an athlete tired.

It should help them get better.

Does playing a sport automatically make an athlete faster?

It seems like it should.

Soccer players run throughout practice and games. Basketball players sprint up and down the court. Field hockey players cover a lot of ground.

But running during a sport and training specifically to improve speed aren't necessarily the same thing.

I've been putting that question to the test.

I've had the opportunity to pre- and post-test athletes from a few team sports to see whether they're actually faster at the end of their season than they were at the beginning.

The first year, the results were what I suspected:

The majority of the athletes were slower by the end of the season.

This year we're trying something different—adding small amounts of intentional speed training within the teams' normal practice schedules.

I wrote more about what we're doing, what I've learned so far, and why I think this matters for team-sport athletes.

“My athlete is good. They just need to get faster.”

I hear some version of this from parents all the time.

Their athlete may have good skills, understand their sport, and work hard—but as the level of competition increases, speed can become the thing that holds them back.

The good news is that speed isn’t simply something an athlete either has or doesn’t have.

Speed can be trained.

That means working on things like acceleration, running mechanics, strength, explosiveness, and the ability to apply force efficiently.

And it doesn’t always take a dramatic change to make a difference.

A quicker first step can mean getting to the ball first, creating separation from a defender, beating an opponent to a position, or turning a close play into a successful one.

That’s why at FPC, we don’t just try to make athletes tired.

We’re trying to make them faster.

09/07/2026

I’ve realized something over the years: the more individual attention I can give a track athlete, the better I can coach them.

Every athlete is different.

One athlete may need to improve acceleration. Another may need better running mechanics. Another may need to get stronger or more explosive. And another may need help with the technical side of their event.

That’s one of the reasons I’m changing the direction of Speed Force Track Club.

Instead of trying to build a large group and have everyone follow the same training program, I’m going to work more closely with a limited number of athletes through Speed Force Private Coaching.

The idea is pretty simple:

What does YOU getting better require?

We start by figuring out where the athlete is now and what they need to improve. From there, we develop the training, measure progress, and make adjustments along the way.

Assess. Train. Measure. Adjust.

The program is designed for track & field athletes entering grades 7–12 who want more individualized coaching and a year-round approach to their development.

If that sounds like something that could help your athlete, you can learn more about Speed Force Private Coaching here:

You Can't Improve What You Don't Measure.

Imagine taking a test in school...
..but never finding out your score.

You wouldn't know what you did well.

You wouldn't know what needed improvement.

Athletic development works the same way.

Many athletes spend months working hard, but they're often guessing about what they should actually improve.

That's why we're introducing Benchmark Day.

Through objective testing—including laser-timed sprints, vertical jump, broad jump, agility, strength, and running form analysis—athletes will discover where they excel and where they have the greatest opportunity to improve.

Every participant receives a personalized Benchmark Report with testing results, performance analysis, and recommendations from the FPC coaching staff.

Don't guess.

Measure.

Train.

Improve.

Does Your Athlete Really Know What They Need To Improve?

Most athletes will tell you they want to get:
✅ Faster
✅ Stronger
✅ More explosive

But here's the question...

How do they know what they actually need to work on?

🏃 Video-Timed 10, 20 & 40-Yard Sprints

💪 Pull-Ups & Plank Hold

🎥 Running Form Analysis

Within 1-2 days, each athlete will receive a personalized Benchmark Report that includes:

✔️ Testing Results

✔️ Performance Analysis

✔️ Areas To Improve

✔️ Performance Goals

✔️ Personalized Training Recommendations

Whether your athlete already trains, is preparing for an upcoming season, or simply wants to know where they stand, Benchmark Day provides valuable information to help guide their development.
