Acceleration Indiana

Football

We’ve been helping Indiana athletes achieve and exceed their goals for 15 years. Football players from youth to the professional have benefited from our science based programs. Over 20 years of research and development in biomechanics, exercise physiology, unique training protocols (over 2000) and proprietary training equipment (6 patents), back up our programs. We have the tools and professional staff to help you become the best that you can be.
   
Acceleration Indiana is part of the Athletic Republic network, which has grown to 160 sites across the country. Originally founded and developed by noted exercise physiologist John Frappier, this network has trained over 600,000 athletes (2500 professional) including approximately 500 professional football players.

Train like a Pro

One of our early athletes was Mike Alstott, who came to us right after his record setting year (yards rushing) at Purdue University. He said that he wanted to get quicker and faster in preparation for the NFL combine in Indy, to enhance his chances of going higher in the draft.  His goal was to be drafted in the second round but to achieve that he had to improve his 40 yard time or likely go in the third round. Mike went through our pro-football program, which combined with his outstanding work ethic, produced the results that he was looking for, as he went second in the second round. The Indy Star had this to say, “Mike Alstott’s stock is rising faster than the stock market, when he ran a 4.64 in the forty.” Expectation had been that he would run in the high 4.8’s. Mike went on to have an outstanding career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning the Super Bowl also playing a number of great years under Tony Dungy, and finally retired.

Assessment

Every athlete is pre-tested to determine their athletic ability and asses their strengths and weaknesses. We then design a program for your needs, based on age, test data, position played and your goals.

Speed

A key component of our training programs is our proprietary Super Treadmill that goes to 28 mph and 40% grade. We first assess the athletes running and sprinting mechanics. The athlete then receives one on one instruction on how to improve his biomechanics during each Super Treadmill training session.

Each session on the Super Treadmill includes a series of sprints at various elevations and speeds designed to develop more power in the lower extremity muscles. These training protocols result in velocity specific strength gains that generate more force to the ground for greater acceleration and speed. Most athletes can expect to reduce their forty time 0.2 sec.

Stamina

Equally important is the ability to maintain your speed and quickness during those long drives down the field. Again, the Super Treadmill provides an optimum training environment to stress and develop the body’s anaerobic energy systems. Our research based protocols result in major improvements in anaerobic power and stamina to maintain top performance in that all important final quarter.

Explosiveness

Every player desires to be more explosive off the line or in their first three or four strides. We incorporate special explosive training elements to ensure you are quicker. Athletes may be able to leg press close to the same on each leg but when tested at speed, the difference in power and rate of power development can be significant and limit the athlete’s ability to perform on the field. Our proprietary equipment allows us to tailor our program to your individual needs. 

Agility
 
The ability to move multi- directionally, quickly, with balance and coordination is a key parameter to creating separation between you and your opponent. Our special plyometric and core strength programs improve your ability to change direction rapidly with control. Typical improvements are 20% to 40% in multi-directional movement drills.

Passing, Punting, Kicking

We also offer programs to improve your throwing and kicking distances. You will train with our patented cords that allow us to load your muscles at game type velocities to improve your velocity (4 to 8 mph), distance (8 to 15 yds) and accuracy.
