At any age, at any level, soccer is a physically demanding sport. By focusing on acceleration, agility and power, we can give every defender, midfielder, forward and goalkeepers the tools to be more successful on game day. Soccer players are faster, stronger, quicker, and more conditioned than they have ever been. More and more of a competitive advantage is not only going to those that work on their ball skills and play on the field, but also those players who work on becoming a better athlete.
ACCELERATION: Every soccer game is made up of hundreds of short bursts of speed. Success is often defined by an athletes' ability to increase or decrease speed in just a few steps.
AGILITY: Balance, coordination and stability are essential for nearly every movement with or without the ball. A complete player must be able to perform every technique at top speed, while still maintaining control and composure.
POWER: Change of speed and change of direction are two of the most important soccer skills. By definition, an athlete's ability to generate power determines how fast these movement occur. Tekulve Acceleration soccer training is also designed to improve an athlete's stability and stamina, reducing the risk of injury and improving their conditioning so they may perform at a higher level throughout the game.

“Greg Tekulve’s speed and agility program at Tekulve Acceleration and Sports Training has helped our daughter tremendously! After having three children participate in multiple high school and select sport programs, we realized that the training and conditioning aspect of these programs was quite often neglected and insufficient. We wanted to get our daughter into a program where the only focus would be on strength, stretching and conditioning – and we found just that. Greg Tekulve is currently training our daughter (who came to him out of shape and injury prone), increasing her strength, speed and agility so that she can be confident and prepared when she competes. He pushes her to go beyond her limits, which will only help her become stronger and less likely to suffer injury. In addition, this allows her to realize that she’s capable of so much more than most coaches demand from her… to realize her true potential. Greg also cares enough to sit down and discuss any potential training related issues, so that those issues can be addressed and handled appropriately. At one point our daughter complained of pain in her shins, and Greg gave her a week off with instruction to ice and stretch for shin splints. That he cared enough to be smart about our daughter’s condition and not simply ignore those signs is such an important aspect of the entire sports training process. In summary, we’ve learned that nothing is certain when it comes to kids participating in sports. Will they make the team? Will they play? Will they win or lose? The one thing we are sure about, however, is that our daughter will continue to train with Greg throughout her soccer season. There’s absolutely no reason for her not to, and every reason that she should. We highly recommend Tekulve Acceleration and Sports Training.”
