Testimonials and Results

Dear Athlete, Parent, Fan, Coach and Personal Trainer Customers -

Speed wins but most Coaches and Personal Trainers spend their time and money developing strength. IF and when they do work on "speed training" they use old fashioned resistance tools that alter a runner's stride or stationary weights and drills that only work a few muscles at a time with a limited range of motion. Some Coaches even use dangerous steroids in a desperate attempt to increase speed. These old fashioned methods create bad attitudes about running because they can take years to produce questionable results.

The Achilles Speed shoes and program unconditionally guarantees to increase speed in weeks instead of years. We do this by combining our new and proven theories with all the advantages of old fashioned tools and methods (except steroids) into one exclusive tool and fun filled program. The Achilles Speed shoes are exclusive because they stretch and strengthen hundreds of muscles, ligaments and tendons at the same time with corrected form in a true, full range speed "running motion".

MUSCLE REACTION TIME

Humans are born with the same amount of slow and fast twitch muscles. Upper body muscles must react faster to defend the eyes. Our shoes and drills improve the reaction time of lower body slow twitch muscles which reduces the time a runner spends on the ground or in the air. Old school Coaches describe this skill in running as "being able to "pick'em up and lay'em down". Achilles Speed shoes and drills cause runners to "pick'em up and lay'em down" faster and increase speed in a few weeks instead of years. We prevent injuries and reduce healing time if an injury does occur by increasing strength and athletic skills. i.e. In the beginning 95% of our customers can't do a one leg squat. After training 20 minutes a day, 3 days a week for 12 weeks 50% of our customers can do 10 squats with each leg.


Faster, stronger, injury free and better athletes win, earn scholarships and sign pro contracts. Fans are happy and Coaches may get a pay raise. Our customers include the three fastest NFL players, Jevon Walker, Michael Lewis and Dion Branch, (Super Bowl 39 MVP) Olympic champions Mary Lou Retton and Carl Lewis along with thousands of male and female athletes from 8 to 80 in all sports from ballet to football to cheerleading. i. e. Dion Sanders set the NFL combine 40 yard dash record at 4.25 seconds. Five of our customers have broken that record!

 

“Players won't be slow or weak after training in the ACHILLES SPEED shoes and program.”
Ray Perkins
NFL Coach





 

“Technology is so far advanced today. When I played professional baseball in the New York Yankees Organization, no one ever believed that a person could be given the tools to run faster. If you were slow, you could do nothing about it! All of this has changed with the ACHILLES TRAINING SHOES. Now players CAN improve running and jumping ability. The ACHILLES TRAINING PROGRAM is a must for all serious athletes.”
Joe Brockhoff
Head Baseball Coach
Tulane University (1974-1993)

 

"My 40 yard dash time went from 5.2 to 4.75, and vertical leap increased 7 inches! These speed training shoes and program would be cheap at any price."

“I was shocked at the improved vertical leap of my son, Brad. He went from touching the goal to dunking with both hands in just three weeks.”

"After three sons, and many years of using Doug Merchant's Speed Shoes and Program, I'm convinced there's no better way to train for Speed."

"The most effective way to train athletes for playing and speed. We've used the Achilles Speed Training Program for many years and there's no better one out there. Believe me we'd be using it if there were."
Brant Sloan, Speed Coach

"It’s impossible to improve speed without increasing strength and other athletic skills. Human body joints function like a fulcrum. Players use the leverage provided by Achilles Speed training shoes to lift their own body weight thousands of times during short intense work-outs. Players not only improve running speed but they reduce injuries and healing time if they do get hurt by increasing strength, agility, flexibility, balance, endurance and etc. Achilles Speed training shoes and program are critical to our success. We gladly recommend it to any player, parent or school."

"Over the years I’ve seen thousands of players in college football, basketball and baseball. So far I’ve never seen one that could not benefit from Achilles Speed training shoes and injury prevention program. I’m proud to be associated with a company that lives up to its promise to increase speed and prevent injuries in weeks instead of years. "
