Learn Basketball-Specific Footwork from 'The Speed Guy' Lee Taft with His Proven Speed and Agility Program
Coach,
If you’d like the tools, knowledge, and systems you need to become a highly in-demand basketball speed trainer or coach in today’s game…
Putting quicker, better prepared, and more explosive athletes on the court in record time…
Using proven basketball speed training drills...
Then you’re in the right place…
Hi, I’m Lee Taft.
In sports performance circles, I’m widely known as “The Speed Guy” and respected as one of the top athletic movement specialists in the world.
For over 35 years, I’ve trained athletes of all ages and abilities and taught my multi-directional speed methods to top performance coaches and fitness professionals worldwide.
Here’s why this is important for you:
The Game’s Changed — Athletes Today Are Bigger, Faster, Quicker.
As A Result, How Players Must Move Has Changed…
Problem is, how we instruct movement on offense and defense is still light years behind.
For instance…
- Coaches STILL tell players to get super low on defense - a speed killer, if there ever was one.
- They STILL harp on not taking a false step - (what I call a Plyo Step) — forcing their players to move slower than molasses
- The closeout is being done with two hands high, hips shoved under the body, and tons of choppy feet — a sure way to get your defenders eaten alive!
And those are just a few examples.
I could go on and on.
Today’s game simply doesn’t leave any room for inefficient movement.
Unless you have a way to make your athletes quicker in all directions — and more adaptable — you’ll get outcompeted every time.
This is why I developed a special Certification Program for coaches I call:
Certified Basketball Speed Specialist
The Gold-Standard of Basketball Specific Speed - The World's First Basketball Speed Certification
It’s designed to show you a coaching model that allows any coach to develop quicker, more explosive, and SAFER athletes with the minimum amount of time and hassle.
You’ll see me working with athletes and how I coach basketball-specific speed...
You’ll understand what to look for and what sorts of corrections to make...
And you’ll get specific drills that help athletes build more speed, while giving them biomechanical advantages that prevent injuries.
All without complicated routines, fancy equipment, or high-risk basketball speed drills and plyometrics.
More than mere knowledge and tools, becoming a Certified Basketball Speed Specialist gives you a SYSTEM you can use to consistently deliver high-performance results.
This Is Ultimately What Attracts Opportunities To Coaches… Having Skills That Teams And Players Want And NEED.
It's crazy how competitive the market for basketball skills coaches, travel team coaches, high school, college, and performance coaches is right now!
Owning the Certified Basketball Speed Specialist credential puts you in your own category.
You’ll have a specific skill set which automatically places you in higher demand in a competitive industry — whether you want the actual Certificate or not.
(NOTE: The Certification is not restricted to coaches. Basketball players and parents can also apply to get the information and use it themselves.)
In a minute I’ll show you how you can access these high-performance coaching secrets. But first….
Here’s A Sample Of What You’ll Find In The Program:
- Key acceleration secrets that create separation from defenders, or let you catch up to offensive players faster (Do this correctly and you’ll compete better, even against stronger teams)
- How to properly assess and correct critical basketball movements (Develop your athletes’ speed, skill, and quickness while also preventing injuries)
- The secret to rapid speed development most coaches get completely wrong (This counter-intuitive approach may seem odd at first, but it’s proven by science)
- Why the ability to “read” plays is one of the most overlooked components of quickness on the court (Plus simple ways to train your players in this critical skill)
- The complete CBSS Equipment List of what you need to train your players for speed (No fancy equipment needed! Every item is simple, easy to find, and affordable)
- Breakthrough footwork techniques to create space and relieve pressure (Watch as your players become “speed demons” on the court!)
- A detailed breakdown of the underused and underrated lateral shuffle (One of the absolute BEST ways to train your players to handle almost any defensive situation)
- The #1 best time to practice footwork or speed drills (Get this right, and you’ll see an immediate improvement in players’ level of play)
- A common mistake — even professional coaches make — that causes players to get beat in key defensive situations (I see this all the time and it makes me crazy!)
- The unathletic move most coaches today are STILL insisting upon (And what works a hundred times better to move in any direction quickly!)
- How to use a lateral run to create space during a critical play (A complete breakdown revealing how I coach players on this essential skill)
- A simple example of why speed always wins…even when you’re outsized! (This game-changing secret lets even smaller athletes play like giants on the court)
- The simple “wedge technique” that lets you get the jump on the other team’s offense (Here’s how you force shooters to the outside and leave them almost no choice but to pass!)
- A little-known assisted drill for athletes who have a hard time accelerating quickly (And other ‘Acceleration Correctives’ sure to turbocharge your players’ quickness)
- The 3-Phase Deceleration System that enhances your players’ ability to stop, slow down, or change directions (Also crucial in preventing injuries!)
- Proven sprinting methods that increase speed, and build the legs, hips, and core (Powerful! If you’re not currently doing sprinting with your athletes, you’re missing out)
- A backdoor way to build incredibly conditioned athletes without doing any conditioning (This is critical for maintaining speed as the game wears on)
- The “180 Series” that helps players better manage their bodies when turning (Good for transition defense when they must sprint back, turn, and backpedal to position themselves - prevents embarrassing trips or falls!)
- How to escape/attack space by developing a faster Hip Turn (Includes never-before-seen drills and corrections your players will love!)
- Secret techniques that allow players correctly execute a closeout (They’ll develop defensive poise, and the ability to manage a variety of game situations)
- How to recover faster from a mistake and almost instantly get back into the play (Mistakes and fake outs happen, it’s how you respond that counts)
- High performance warm-up secrets (Includes techniques that help players move in all 3 planes of motion without restrictions, and at greater speeds)
- How to have a powerful jump…and the versatility to jump multiple ways to meet the demands of the game (Having a great vertical is useless unless you’re able to jump explosively while moving)
- A simple jumping progression that is both safe and effective (When programmed correctly, gives you a quick and powerful jumping team AND lowers the risk of injuries)
- When is the best time for speed training? How often should you train for speed? How many skills and drills each time? (All your basketball speed and agility programming questions answered!)
- The #1 biggest skills training mistake 90% of coaches make that is hurting their players’ development (Stop doing this today!)
- 6 Deceleration patterns every speed specialist needs to know (And how to turn these into your “weight room on the court” for quicker, more powerful players)
- The only basketball speed training protocols you will ever need (Includes conditioning considerations so skills transfer fully to games!)
- The official CBSS practice outline for offensive skills, defensive skills, and sports performance that’s nothing less than…

These are the same secrets I use with my private coaching clients and have taught to elite trainers all over the world.
People like Ty Terrell, a performance coach with the Washington Wizards, who said…
"Lee’s teachings have successfully influenced how I train basketball players more than any other source I’ve explored. His mastery of multi-directional speed marries with the 360 degrees game of basketball perfectly. I continuously reference his basketball speed materials when working with my athletes. I’m a better coach because of what I’ve learned from Lee. I’d recommend his basketball speed certification to any coach, young or experienced."
Or Shawn Windle, Former Director of Sports Performance with the Indiana Pacers…
"When it comes to speed, agility, and quickness training, there is no better coach than Lee Taft. His unique drills and programming make him one of the top Basketball S.A.Q. Coaches in the country. If your sport requires you to move fast in all directions, then Coach Taft is the one you want to coach you.”
Or Chase Campbell, Head Men's Basketball Strength and Conditioning Coach/ Director of Sports Performance of Providence College…
“Coach Taft is truly one of the leading experts in the fields of basketball multi-directional speed, strength, and human movement as it relates to athletic performance. His ability to simplify and teach even the most complex of concepts is second to none. From the novice athlete to the most seasoned sports coach, and everyone in between, there isn’t anyone who couldn’t learn something from Lee.”
The information in the CBSS is not for sale anywhere else, and can’t be found on any blog or social media post…
It’s exclusive content for Certified Basketball Speed Specialists.
Basketball is One of the Quickest, Most Dynamic Sport There is!
The sport of basketball can create confusion in how to train for it, even in the most experienced coaches.
Learning the techniques is essential, but having a common language is vital to improving communication and learning.
It's all right in the palm of your hand when you are a Certified Basketball Speed Specialist.
Everything you need to get your players faster, quicker, and more agile on the court.
Most importantly! In basketball, specific situations demand specific techniques and language- which increases player understanding!
Not only will you have the basketball DRILLS and SKILLS to increase performance, but you'll also have a pinpoint system to communicate it to your players!
Bottom line, as a Basketball Coach and Trainer…
Unless You Can Consistently Deliver Results Players And Teams Want, Opportunities That Should Have Gone To You Will Go To Someone Else!
Today’s hyper-competitive basketball market is very unforgiving that way.
Becoming a CBSS equips you with the tools, knowledge, and perhaps most importantly, the speed development model you need to separate yourself from the pack.

A must !
It takes a specialist like Lee to build this kind of course ! I really loved it !
Eric Balinbin
Better than a college course!
The Certified Basketball Speed Specialist course should be taught in all kinesiology programs - it is that specialized. As a parent/coach, you can bet I am going to apply what I learned with my child and players to develop their speed. I can also see practical applications in the Pre-Practice Routine which can be applied to other sports as well. As soon as the Level 2 Course is introduced, I'm in. Thanks so much Coach Taft!

Great Course
Lee Taft did it again! He is so knowledgeable about basketball and all the details to help your athletes become better athletes. His attention to detail is beyond measure. I am excited to begin working with my HS girls in the offseason and implement what Coach Taft has taught during this course. It will be fun to see where we start and how we end next year! Thanks Coach Taft!
Michael Ashton

The breakdown of movement patterns is excellent. It gave me a clearer picture of what to look for during movement skill analysis.

Great progressions through the different areas with plenty of challenges in each level. Began using them with our players and seeing some good early results.
