Speed Training for Athletes Who Want to Get Faster
Professional speed training for youth athletes in Chicago. Improve acceleration, sprint mechanics, and explosive power for sport.
For athletes in soccer, football, basketball, baseball, and track & field…
Why Speed Matters
Speed is one of the most important physical skills in sports. Athletes who move faster create more opportunities on the field, court, or track.
Our training focuses on improving acceleration, sprint mechanics, explosive power, and movement efficiency.
These qualities help athletes perform better in many sports.
Athletes from many sports train with us, including:
• Soccer. • Football. • Basketball
• Baseball • Volleyball. • Track & Field
Speed Evaluation
A complete assessment of sprint mechanics, acceleration, posture, and movement efficiency to identify what is limiting an athlete’s speed.
Private Speed Training
1-on-1 coaching focused on acceleration, sprint mechanics, and explosive speed development.
Small Group Training
Train in a motivating small group environment while building speed and athletic confidence.
Available exclusively at our South Suburbs training location.

How Training Works
Speed Evaluation
Analyze sprint mechanics, posture, and acceleration to identify what is limiting speed.
Sprint Mechanics Training
Athletes learn proper sprint mechanics including posture, touchdown position, and efficient movement patterns.
Strength & Power Development
We build the strength and explosiveness needed to transfer sprint mechanics into real speed.
Faster Performance in Sport
The goal is simple: help athletes move faster, perform better, and gain confidence in their sport.
Meet the Coaches
Coach
Manu Lerus
Founder & Speed Coach
I’m Coach Manu Lerus, founder of Speed Mastery Lab and a sprint coach dedicated to helping young athletes develop speed, confidence, and efficient movement mechanics.
My coaching combines sprint mechanics, acceleration, explosive power, and individualized performance analysis to identify how each athlete moves and what they need to improve. I focus on building better movement patterns that translate directly to performance in their sport.
My goal is to help athletes understand how to move more efficiently, develop their speed, and build the confidence and athletic foundation they need to reach their full potential.
Coach
Caleb Lerus
Co-founder & Speed Coach
I’m Coach Caleb Lerus, a former Division I track & field athlete with a background in exercise science and kinesiology. I competed at Drake University before finishing my collegiate career and graduating from Illinois State University.
My experience as both an athlete and coach has given me a strong understanding of sprint mechanics, movement, and athletic performance. I focus on helping athletes improve their acceleration, running mechanics, explosiveness, and overall speed in ways that transfer to their sport.
My goal is to help athletes understand how to move more efficiently, develop their speed, and build the confidence and athletic foundation they need to perform at a higher level.
