FAST training has helped me personally at the next level in so many ways including; improving my speed, change of direction, explosiveness and much more. I started coming to see Joel Raether when I was a sophomore in high school and we focused on basic mechanics that are imperative in improving speed and getting your body prepared for training. As I developed and grew into my body we did more strength and speed & agility work that you don’t learn anywhere else. Things like shin angle, foot placement and explosive techniques that not only took my performance to the next level but also prevented injuries in order to keep me in the game I love so much. We all know that in order to play at the next level, the work that you put in behind closed doors is what makes greatness. Its pretty simple, without my work with Joel at FAST training I wouldn’t be where I am today and would never achieve the success that you are all beginning to see.

There is no question that FAST and JC played an integral role in getting our son recruited to play Lacrosse at the NCAA D-1 Level.  For any lacrosse athlete who is looking to improve their game, FAST has the ability to tailor a program for you.  FAST is not just a gym. JC and the rest of the trainers will help any athlete improve through a customized program, focusing not just on strength and speed but health and wellness, too.  We feel that this program is such a benefit for our son that we recommended it to his whole high school lacrosse team.  We highly recommend JC and the team at FAST Performance to help any athlete looking to raise their lacrosse game to the next level.  – Will and Megan Stockton

I have been working with JC for 6 months, and all I have to say is great things. Once you walk into the gym, the intimidation and judgement factor disappears. You are in there to get better

Speed. This is the emphasis of everything. As I began to work with JC more, I started to see the different ways to improve upon it. No athlete simply has a perfect foundation and understanding of how to be agile and swift. With JC, I began to train faster, making my movements more explosive and bettering my fundamentals. Something as simple as running and sprinting is broken down into drills that ensure you have the right angle of attack while also keeping everything moving forward.

When it comes to keeping your mind in the game, Lacrosse requires a high IQ; knowing what to do, where to be and reacting to whatever happens. Simple agility drills with cones, bands, ball reaction drills progress over time into more complex drills requiring high levels of energy while being able to process information. Training at the advanced level with JC separates you from your competition in the 4th quarter and big games where the intensity and pressure is high.

For strength training, this is when the JC and the team at FAST build your technique from good to great. The focus is on being stronger and faster while staying focused on injury prevention. Their use of simple movement skills with dumbbells, kettlebells and olympic bars progress over time to the usage of their air technology systems and full-body movement based exercise strategies. Their training systems are like no other.

JC and the team at FAST will give you everything you need to succeed at your level and beyond.
