The Seed Of Speed Philosophy
by Mick Clegg
I have owned a gym for 29 years and in that time I specialised in training children (my own being the most important). As a non-athlete myself I never really looked at sports skill for each sport, because I felt coaches in that sport would always have more experience and the OBSERVING EYE than myself. Having an internal gym I was first interested in strength, then realised using overload training principle, how easy that it was to nurture, along with it endurance and flexibility – ALL very important aspects of most sports, but what interested me most was SPEED.
Specialist Coaching by Mick Clegg
Mick's SPI Lab based alongside Olympic Sports Gym
Mick has created his specialist S.P.I. Lab on the lower floor of the mill where the former Manchester United S&C coach now trains various elite athletes from all areas of the sporting world including Taekwondo, Golf, Speedway, Kickboxing as well as some of the top footballers in the UK today. Utilising the most modern techniques and equipment like FitLight, NeuroTracker, Core-Tex, D2 and X-dream, he continues to give the top athletes the extra edge to be the best. Mick continues to train the champions of tomorrow.
