Coach Vaughan 

Speed Is A Skill

Jump Higher. Jump Further. Run Faster.

I don't just train kids to run faster—I transform young athletes from the ground up.

My approach? It's all about blending old-school intensity with proven techniques I've developed through years as a D1 athlete and USATF certified coach. We're going to push hard, but we're going to push smart.

What makes my training different is how we build both the body AND the mindset. Speed isn't just about your legs—it's about developing explosive power, proper mechanics, and the mental toughness to push through when others quit.

Whether you're looking to dominate on the field, court, or track, my personalized approach meets you where you are and takes you where you want to go. No cookie-cutter programs here—just real results that translate directly to your sport.

Built by Coach Vaughan

Coach Vaughan's training program revolutionized our basketball team's athleticism in just one off-season. Our players gained explosive first steps, improved vertical leaps, and developed the conditioning to maintain intensity through four quarters. His understanding of basketball-specific movements and ability to translate speed work to on-court performance gave us a competitive edge we'd been missing. Beyond the physical gains, he instilled a mental toughness that showed in crunch time. Coach Vaughan doesn't just build athletes—he builds winners

After breaking my leg during winter season, I was worried my basketball career might be over. Coach Tarik didn't just help me recover—he rebuilt me better than before. He understood exactly when to push and when to be patient, creating a personalized program that respected my injury while challenging me to improve. By summer league, my vertical was higher than pre-injury, my first step was quicker, and my confidence was completely restored. Coach Vaughan's return-to-play program didn't just get me back on the court—it made me a stronger, more explosive player than I was before the injury. I'm playing my best basketball now because of his guidance.

I was always getting thrown out trying to steal second until Coach Vaughan transformed my speed and technique. After just six weeks in his training program, my base-to-base time dropped significantly, and I learned explosive first-step mechanics that changed my game completely. Coach Tarik broke down my running form, identified exactly what was holding me back, and built a training plan that fixed my weaknesses. Now I'm not just safe at second—I'm a constant threat on the basepaths that pitchers have to worry about. What impressed me most was how he tailored everything specifically for baseball movements. Coach Vaughan turned me from an average runner into a basestealing weapon for my team.
