our STORY

HOw IT ALL STARTED

In 2016, coach Gene Ho-Ching was running a very successful sports league in Phoenix, Arizona’s east valley.  He became really good friends with a coach in his league, Jason Tollefson, who seemed to be effortlessly winning flag football championships.

Intrigued by coach Jason’s success, Gene chatted with coach Jason about what made him so successful.  With a smile on his face, coach Jason responded with, “It’s all about the kids”.  He then proceeded to tell him about how he spends the majority of his practices developing each player’s speed and agility through a dedicated set of drills.  As a result, coach Jason’s players were faster, stronger and more agile than the other players in the league.

Soon, dozens of parents were requesting to have their kids on coach Jason’s team.  It was clear he was doing things right.

THE IDEA

One day coach Gene asked coach Jason to run a speed and agility camp for the entire league.  Coach Jason agreed and the camps were selling out almost instantly.  The camps went from four seasons to year to a year-round camp with thousands of kids registering throughout the area.

In running these camps for the past five years, we have adjusted our program to produce the absolute best results.  This included cutting out the less-efficient drills and adding new ones yearly.

Our camp kids improve their speed and agility times by as much as 40% in just one season!

A GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY

In 2019, Gilbert Rowley, a professional sports filmmaker presented to coach Gene the idea of taking the program online so that kids and adults across the country and world could benefit from these programs.  

We started filming in the fall of 2019 and here we are today with a program that is changing lives.  It has taken many years of literal sweat, but we are excited about the opportunity to present Speed.Strength.Agility to your family!
