San Diego's Premier Youth Speed Training
Elite speed, agility & mindset training for athletes ages 5–18. Building champions from the ground up.
The Mission
Legacy Speed Academy develops athletes by first teaching fundamental body movement to establish a solid foundation, then advancing to elite training methods that directly impact game-time performance.
Our program is structured to increase an athlete's speed and agility with a strong focus on enhancing linear and lateral movement — while building the ability to react and change direction when it matters most.
We incorporate mindset training into every session because developing a champion's mentality is just as important as physical training. The difference between good, great, and phenomenal is what happens between the ears.
Linear speed, lateral quickness, and reactive change of direction
Cutting-edge timing technology to track and measure real progress
Breaking through mental barriers to unlock full athletic potential
"Together We Win"
The Founder
USAF Veteran · Athlete · Coach · Father
A husband, father, and United States Air Force veteran — Marcus is a former football player, weightlifter, track & field athlete, and military physical fitness training leader.
He started Legacy Speed Academy after recognizing a critical gap in youth athletic development: sport specialization too early, inexperienced coaching, and coaches simply not having enough time to teach both sport and sports performance training.
As a parent to a young soccer star, Marcus brings the perspective of both a seasoned athlete and a father who understands what it means to invest in a child's athletic future.
My experiences as a former athlete, military fitness leader, and parent of an athlete have given me the necessary tools to help develop the next generation of athletes. I believe in people's potential regardless of background or current skill level.
