You want to reach the next level

To get there, you need to become a better athlete

You want faster times, bigger meets, more attention from college coaches, and the chance to see how far your track career can go. But wanting it isn't enough, here's what's holding back the sprinters who never quite get there:

YOUR SPRINT MECHANICS ARE COSTING YOU TIME.

  • Your start is killing your race before you even get up to speed.
  • Poor sprint mechanics are wasting energy and costing you valuable time in your 100m and 200m
  • You’re working hard to run faster, but the way you’re moving is actually holding you back.

Your PRs stall by mid-season

  • You ran your best time in March and haven’t come close since
  • Nothing in your season is designed to keep building the speed you started with
  • Effort isn’t the issue, nobody gave you a system to build it correctly, for longevity

Your body is running the clock

  • Hamstrings, shin splints, and a back that hurts before warmups
  • Missed meets mean missed finals, missed PRs, and missed chances to be seen
  • You’re not training anymore, you’re managing pain

Most sprinters enter the season unprepared.

  • Your track practice wasn’t designed to make you faster as the season goes on
  • Hard workouts and repeat 200s aren’t the same as a speed system
  • The sprinters finishing the season faster than they started are on a different system

You're not slow because you don't work hard enough. You're slow because you're training the wrong way. More workouts, more conditioning, and more reps won't fix bad sprint mechanics or a program that was never designed to make you faster. You can work harder than everyone around you and still run the same times. The sprinters who reach the next level don't just train harder, they train with a system built to make them faster, more explosive, and better racers.

Build A Better Athlete

Speed is what separates you

One weapon can separate you from everyone else

Plenty of sprinters are talented. Plenty work hard. But the ones who win races, break PRs, and get recruited have something the others don't. They understand how too run. Here's why most sprinters never build the speed that separates them.

01

THE GENETIC MYTH

You've been told your whole life that you're either born fast or you're not. This is the single most destructive lie in track. It creates a fixed mindset that kills your confidence and convinces you that no amount of hard work will ever be enough to catch the "naturally gifted" sprinters.

02

Bodybuilder Training

You're lifting like a bodybuilder. Heavy squats and bench for size, but none of the specific muscle groups and movement patterns that actually produce sprint speed. You're building a body that looks like an athlete's, but it doesn't move like one.

03

Leaking Speed

You run too stiff. Your arms flail. You land flat-footed. Every time you sprint, you're leaking energy and fighting against your own body. Without mastering the fundamental mechanics of sprinting, all the strength and power in the world is useless. You can't put a turbocharger on a faulty engine.

The harsh reality is…

It's not that you lack the potential to be fast. It's that you lack a system that unlocks it. You're being overlooked because you're following the same generic, outdated advice as everyone else, while the athletes getting the scholarships are using a blueprint that treats speed as a science, the same blueprint I used to reach Division I and the pros.

I lived it. Now I teach it.

Meet Coach Mitchell 

Coach Antonio Mitchell II, founder of The Speed Mechanic

The Speed Mechanic

2x D1 All-American · Professional Athlete

Coach Mitchell's journey was anything but a straight line. Growing up in Moreno Valley, California, he began his college career at an NAIA program, but after getting into trouble, he was forced to leave and essentially start over.

That setback led him to Riverside City College, where he was given another opportunity to prove himself. Instead of allowing his mistakes to define him, Mitchell turned JUCO into the foundation of his comeback. He became a back-to-back California State Champion in the 100m (2018 & 2019), won the 2019 200m State Championship, and broke Riverside’s 100m school record with a 10.12.

What initially looked like a major setback became the path that eventually took him from JUCO to the Division I level at Arizona State and Purdue University.

He then transferred to Arizona State (2019–21), where he endured the toughest competitive stretch of his career. Battling minor shin fractures in both seasons and a coaching environment that severely impacted his confidence, Mitchell struggled to perform at the level he had grown accustomed to. Despite the adversity, he still ran 6.67 in the 60m, and 21.24 in the 200m, while helping ASU’s 4×100 relay reach the NCAA West Preliminary Round. After two of the hardest seasons of his career at Arizona State, Mitchell transferred to Purdue University in 2022 with one final opportunity to prove to himself that he could still compete at an elite level and he did.

In his final collegiate season, Mitchell became a Big Ten silver medalist in the 200m, running 20.35, finished fourth in the 100m with a 10.12, earned Second-Team All-Big Ten honors, and collected two Big Ten medals. He also helped Purdue’s 4×100m relay qualify for the 2022 NCAA Division I Outdoor Championships.

After injuries, setbacks, losing confidence, and nearly watching his career go in a completely different direction, Purdue became the season that reminded Mitchell exactly who he was.

This is a major reason Mitchell coaches speed today. He changed the trajectory of his own career through the one weapon he could always rely on: his speed. Despite never playing a single down of college football, he still created an opportunity to reach the CFL and pursue professional football, a story in itself.

He knows what it feels like to be overlooked, counted out, and forced to create your own opportunity. Now his mission is to help serious high school sprinters develop the speed, mechanics, explosiveness, and confidence to separate themselves. Because sometimes, all it takes is one measurable weapon to get your foot in the door.

The path I took

From overlooked to the next level

  1. 01

    Started at the NAIA level

    No easy path. No handouts. Antonio started at the NAIA level, grinding for every opportunity nobody handed him.

  2. 02

    Back-to-back JUCO state champion

    He took the JUCO route and became a back-to-back state champion, proving he belonged on the track with anyone in the state.

  3. 03

    Earned his shot at Division I

    That work earned him the opportunity to compete at Purdue University, a Division I stage most athletes only dream of reaching.

  4. 04

    2x D1 All-American & B1G medalist

    At Purdue University he became a 2x Division I All-American and a B1G medalist. Speed was the weapon that opened every door he walked through.

  5. 05

    Competed at the professional level

    Mitchell's speed and athleticism opened another door, earning him the opportunity to pursue professional football in the Canadian Football League (CFL) and continue his athletic career.

He turned what he lived into a system

The Sub-11 Blueprint™

Coach Mitchell took everything he used to reach Division I and the professional level the acceleration, explosiveness, sprint mechanics, and top-end speed and built it into a step-by-step system any serious high school sprinter can follow.

Inside the blueprint

The 6-phase path to next-level speed

This isn't random drills. It's the same complete system Coach Mitchell used to create 200+ Personal Records. Built to turn you into an explosive, technically sound, recruit-ready competitor.

  1. 01

    MASTER YOUR ACCELERATION

    The race is won in the first 30 meters. We dial in your drive phase, shin angles, and force application so you're ahead before you even hit top speed.

  2. 02

    FIX YOUR SPRINT MECHANICS

    Frame-by-frame video analysis finds exactly where you leak speed. Posture, shin angle, foot strike, arm action, we rebuild your patterns until efficient running is second nature.

  3. 03

    UNLOCK YOUR MAX VELOCITY

    Once your mechanics are locked in, we open up top-end gear with flys, max-velocity work, and race-model cues so you hit and hold the fastest speeds of your life.

  4. 04

    BUILD STRENGTH & EXPLOSIVENESS

    Speed needs horsepower. Targeted plyometrics and explosive strength work turn your body into a force-producing machine that holds together through a full race season.

  5. 05

    DEVELOP SPEED ENDURANCE

    The last 40 meters of the 100 and the entire 200 are where PRs go to die. We build the capacity to hold your speed when everyone else is falling apart.

  6. 06

    PERFORM ON RACE DAY

    Execution, race strategy, and mindset. We turn your new speed into fast times when it matters at invitationals, league finals, and championship meets.
