After two years of training hundreds of youth athletes and reflecting deeply on how to best serve their long-term development, Toy Soldier Training is upgrading its weekly structure to provide even more effective and targeted speed training. Weekly sessions will now feature dedicated focus days:
ACCELERATION : Mondays and Tuesdays
MAX VELOCITY: Thursdays and Fridays
This separation allows athletes to train each phase of speed with intention building powerful first steps early in the week and refining top-end sprint mechanics later in the week. Every session will also include foundational strength work designed to enhance posture, force production, and overall sprint efficiency. By organizing training this way, athletes receive a balanced, progressive approach that reinforces sprint technique, reduces injury risk, and creates a clearer pathway to becoming a stronger, faster, and more confident athlete.
For best results, the ideal training frequency is two sessions per week, allowing athletes to consistently develop both acceleration and top speed qualities. While training once per week is still beneficial, it is not optimal for making significant, lasting improvements in speed.
All training sessions will be located in San Jose, CA at "Headquarters" (Near Anne Darling Elementary)
