We’ve designed Need For Speed so it can impact your coaching on day 1. Get ready to have it influence your coaching programs immediately!

The Need for Speed Course is geared toward S&C / Fitness Coaches who focus specifically on Team Sports, while the Foundation Course is a general course for all Coaches. Need for Speed first asks the question 'what speed is in relation to team sports?' - as it is defined very differently from simple track and field linear speed. Secondly, it describes why it is important to team sports - with in-depth review of biomechanics and motor learning as it relates to the chaos of team sports specifically. And finally, it shares how we develop speed with the team sports that we consult with - taking a first principles approach that can be applied by all coaches - without any prior sprint expertise, per se.

Coaching the Short Sprints is written specifically for Track & Field Coaches, while Need for Speed is written specifically for those who work in Team Sport. So, if you are only interested in sprinting (the sport), rather than speed for team sport athletes, Coaching the Short Sprints is the Course for you. (However, that's not to say you wouldn't benefit from understanding how sprinting and speed in Team Sports differs!)

No, you can choose to enrol at any time you like, and complete the course according to whatever timeline suits you. There is no time limit for completion, and you can study at your own pace.

The core course reading / watching / session debriefs includes approximately 45 hours of content. Optional learning activities represent an additional time commitment of the same. We estimate if all activities are completed, it would take most learners around 90 days to complete.

At the end of each ‘Book’, we provide a summative assessment in the form of structured multiple choice learning checks which can be taken in your own time. These are all online. To pass the tests you must gain a score of 70% or above. If you fail the first time, you are able to retake. However, these are not compulsory, and can be omitted. They are designed purely to support your learning.

All the content is delivered online-only, so you can study anywhere in the world. By choosing this format we have been able to create a multi-faceted approach to learning which includes videos and films as part of the course content, rather than just text and graphics. Each module is assessed by a number of multiple choice learning checks which can be taken in your own time. These are all online. To pass the tests you must gain a score of 80% or above. If you fail the first time, you are able to retake.

No - all learning activities are optional. You can choose to follow the structured path that we have provided and complete the formative learning activities, or navigate your own route through the content.

Yes! The Performance Trinity is made up of the Foundation Course, Need for Speed, and the Performance Therapy Course. Each of the Performance Trinity Courses addresses a fundamental area that we at ALTIS feel are an essential pillar to complete a practitioner’s understanding of the full demands of performance sports. If you do all three you will have a very comprehensive picture of these important areas of study, however, they can of course be taken alone. They are all individual courses, designed uniquely, however, they reference and complement each other by design. Many of our course members have indeed commented on how well they all fit together.
