Description

Richard Bucciarelli (@richardbucciarelli) is the owner of Speed Training (https://speedtraining.ca/) (@speedtraining.ca) He's a sports scientist, strength and conditioning coach, university professor, PhD candidate, and most importantly a husband and father. After graduating from York University Richard began coaching soccer to youth athletes (I was one of them!) and quickly realized that there was a gap in the soccer world where nobody was focusing on actually developing better athletes with any degree of expertise. Richard set out to fill this gap, and eventually Speed Training was born. Richard set out to be the best in the field, gathering as much knowledge and experience as possible. Innovating and utilizing new technologies like high speed treadmills to build better athletes in ways not many people are doing. Initially he was solely focused on soccer players, but eventually realized that athletes of all sports could benefit from his training methods. Richard utilizes specific HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) protocols with his athletes. And not just 30s of jumping jacks - but real, near and even supra maximal speed training. This of course is just one piece of the puzzle along with an athletes strength work and technical work related to their sport, but something necessary nonetheless. Another area of interest was the concept of overtraining athletes, or the myth of overtrained athletes. Not that overtraining doesn't exist, just that most of what we call overtraining, is in reality, undertraining. This may sound like a foreign concept, but the literature shows it to be true. Many of these concepts sound very specific to athletes, but as always we bring it all together and take the lessons from high performance to people like you and I. If you live in Toronto or the GTA, you can train with Richard at his facility which you can find more info about at https://speedtraining.ca/. Speed Training is also on IG @speedtraining.ca as well as on Youtube. Check out all they have to offer on all this performance, fitness and health! I would greatly appreciate any comments, questions or feedback. If you could share this with a friend, that would mean the world to me.
