TITAN SPORTS PERFORMANCE
About
At Titan Sports Performance, speed development is the heartbeat of our training. There are key mechanical movements that make an athlete sprint and change directions at faster speeds, and it is our goal to fine-tune these movement patterns, making them part of how an athlete naturally moves.
Under the leadership of internationally-renowned speed expert, Michael Drach, every exercise, drill and progression is directly tied to our goal of achieving the highest level of individual speed and athleticism, while reducing the risk of injury.
Fast athletes are naturally more “springy” (more force is driven into the ground in less time) than slower athletes. This “springyness” can be developed, and is the core of Coach Drach’s training principles. The key is first teaching the athlete proper sprint and movement mechanics, followed by training the body to be a more tightly coiled spring by training the muscles and tendons to work more efficiently.
PROGRAMS

high school speed & power
The fastest athletes are most often the dominant athletes. Max velocity, acceleration, and change of direction mechanics are going to be the core of this program. But having proper mechanics is just the base. In order to have elite speed, an athlete must be able to accomplish 3 things, produce lots of force, as fast as possible, in the right direction. Strong doesn’t necessarily mean fast or explosive. One must be able to produce force quickly, and Coach Drach knows just how to develop the athletes ability to have more efficient force production that will transfer over to their sport and make them the most explosive athlete they can be.

MIDDLE SCHOOL SPEED & POWER
The Middle School Speed and Power program is tailored for athletes 12-14 and focuses on creating a solid foundation of the proper mechanics for max velocity, acceleration, and change of direction. If an athlete can learn these movement patterns at a young age then they are setting themselves up to have a much higher speed ceiling in the future, while reducing their risks of injuries. We understand the demands and realize competition is very competitive at the middle school level and our program is geared to helping athletes gain that advantage. Along with the performance side, we will start building a framework with the athletes challenging them on goal setting and becoming leaders in the community so they have the courage to compete.

YOUTH ATHLETIC FOUNDATIONS
The Youth Athletic Foundations training program for young athletes, ages 8-11, is based on supporting and preparing young athletes for their future by helping to develop excellent speed, agility and jumping mechanics. Learning these foundational movement skills will not only improve performance potentials, but it will also help to reduce injury now and in the future.

Oklahoma’s Speed Expert: Michael Drach
Michael is a internationally-renowned sports performance trainer with expertise in speed development. He spent the first 17 years of his career in Chicago training top-level athletes representing programs like the Chicago Bears, Chicago Fire, Chicago Red Stars, NY Giants, Houston Texans, Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings, Toronto Argonauts, US Olympic Bobsled Team, and US Olympic Speed Skating Team, along with countless Division 1 collegiate athletes and All-American high school athletes.
His experience thus far has taught him speed training and conditioning need to be trained separately. Too many facilities and trainers focus on making the athlete feel tired and exhausted at the end of the workout. True speed training should be done in the most fatigue free state possible. Speed has such a high neurological component to it, and the more fatigued an athlete is during training the less likely they will be able to recruit a high threshold of fast twist muscle fibers. He is most known for his creativity in developing safe and effective multi-directional plyometrics that will not only develop springyness and more fast twitch muscle fibers, but also exposes athletes to controlled, high-eccentric force loads that will significantly reduce injuries on the field.
After a visit to Tulsa where he was impressed by the city, the Titan facility, and the vibrant and athletic community here, he moved his family across the country to join the Titan team and is thrilled to apply his training knowledge and speed expertise to his new role as Director of Sports Performance.
