Having great testing numbers in your 40 yard dash, shuttle, vertical and broad jumps are always going to be a viable pathway to bigger and better opportunities at higher levels, which is why we are not only rolling across western Canada with our CFC Showcase tour, but we have enlisted the fantastic Petra Richard, a speed and strength development specialist with over a decade of coaching experience, to make sure you’re performing ands testing at your best.

Acceleration Phase: 17-28 yards
What’s the difference between the drive phase and acceleration phase?
The Acceleration phase focuses on 75-80% of an athlete’s full speed as the drive phase focuses on how much power can be used to build up to an accelerated speed. Some mechanical differences such as there is a higher linear angle in an acceleration than a drive phase as shown below.
