FOR 48 YEARS, THIS WAS NEVER FOR SALE.

Dale Baskett has been the football speed coach for 48 years. He started in 1978, when nobody else in the country was teaching speed for football. He was the first, which is why they call him the Godfather of Speed.

In those 48 years, he trained over 400,000 athletes. He's worked directly with players from all 32 NFL teams. He coached on staff with the Seattle Seahawks. He trained 25 All-Pros and 6 members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

But here's the thing: you couldn't buy his program. Not because he was hiding it. Because he never sold it. Teams flew him in. Coaches called him personally. Pros trained with him by reputation and word of mouth. The whole career, he worked by request only.

That changes today.

"I'm not in this to get rich. I'm in this to leave the work behind. Somebody's kid out there needs this, and I want to make sure they get it."
- Dale Baskett

48 YEARS. 32 NFL TEAMS. 6 HALL OF FAMERS. ONE METHOD.

He coached on staff with the Seattle Seahawks in 1986 and 1987, hired personally by Mike McCormick and Chuck Knox. He trained 7 of the 10 players in the Seahawks Ring of Honor. He's been a speaker at the NIKE Football Coach of the Year clinic, the NSCA, the American Football Magazine clinic in Las Vegas, and the National Strength Coaches Association.

Universities he's consulted to read like a roll call: Ohio State, Texas A&M, Washington, Oklahoma State, Mount Union (10 national titles), Eastern Washington, Liberty, USC, Texas, San Diego State.

NFL teams he's worked with: New York Giants, Dallas Cowboys, San Francisco 49ers, Washington, Minnesota Vikings, Tennessee Titans, Detroit Lions, St. Louis Rams, Tampa Bay Bucs, Denver Broncos, Atlanta Braves of MLB, Seattle Mariners.

The names of the players he's trained span 40 years of football. John Lynch. Steve Largent. Warren Moon. Cory Dillon. Kenny Easley. Junior Seau. Jim Zorn. Lincoln Kennedy. Michael Bates. Bill Bates. Mark Brunell. Napoleon Kaufman. Mark Breuner. Bobby J Edmunds. Norm Johnson. The list is longer than this section can hold.

The Michael Bates story.

Michael Bates won an Olympic bronze medal in the 200 meters in 1992. He was one of the fastest sprinters on the planet. Three NFL teams cut him.

The reason was the same every time. He had speed. He couldn't control it.

After the third release, he came to Dale. They trained for six months on pure movement, not on sprinting, because sprinting was already his strength. Dale taught him how to plant, how to redirect, how to transfer velocity from one direction to another without losing it.

Six months later the Carolina Panthers picked him up. He went to five Pro Bowls in a row and made All-Pro five years straight.

He didn't get faster. He got controlled. The Panthers paid him for the difference.

EVERY SPEED COACH TRAINS EXPLOSIVE. FOOTBALL IS BALLISTIC.

Every speed coach in the country trains explosive. Football is a ballistic sport. There's a difference, and it decides every play.

Walk into any speed gym. You'll see athletes training to run faster in a straight line. You'll see them training to be more explosive, more powerful, more max output. That's the entire industry.

Football is not a sport of explosive movement. Football is a sport of ballistic movement. Explosive means maximum force in one direction. Ballistic means controlled force, redirected, transferred, and released into the next movement without losing the previous one.

Watch any down of football on a Saturday. Count the steps. Almost every play, the athlete plants, redirects, accelerates, decelerates, accelerates again. He never runs flat-out for 40 yards. He runs in 4-step bursts, separated by transitions. Those transitions are where the play is won or lost.

Dale calls them by his own names: Quick Force and Max Force.

Max Force (explosive)

What every speed coach trains. All-out sprint. Maximum output, straight line, controlled environment. Useful in the 100 meters. Almost never present in football.

Quick Force (ballistic)

What Dale trains. Controlled, transitional bursts. Plant, redirect, accelerate, decelerate, accelerate again. The movement that actually happens on every snap. The Baskett Method.

"Speed is not worth a damn if you can't control it."
- Dale Baskett

This was always a coaching secret. Now it's a parent's advantage.

Here's why most parents have never heard this before. Speed coaching at the elite level was always a closed conversation between professional coaches and a small handful of specialists. Dale was one of them. He was the one Chuck Knox brought in. He was the one Don James called. He was the one Frosty Westering, the Hall of Fame coach with 300 wins, used for years.

That conversation never made it down to youth football. It didn't make it down to high school football. It didn't make it down to the parent in the stands wondering why his kid is fast in warm-ups and gets caught from behind on the field.

The conversation went up. It stayed up. It served the people at the top, and the people at the bottom kept paying $50 an hour for ladder drills and parachute sprints that don't transfer.

Dale's not interested in that anymore. He's 48 years in, and what he wants to leave behind isn't another NFL clinic. It's a generation of parents and athletes who finally know what the pros knew all along.

The 12 videos teach the method. Not the trick.

This isn't a workout program. It's a movement curriculum. Every drill in the 12 videos is built around the four non-negotiables: line, synchronization, strike relation, shoulder control. Master those four and every position skill in football gets better. Skip those four and every drill is a waste of time.

The progression matters. Dale has spent 30+ years refining the order these drills are taught in. The kid runs the foundation week, the activation week, the lateral week, the position-specific weeks. By the time he's deep in module 9, he's executing movements his teammates don't have a name for, much less a way to teach.

The method that 32 NFL teams have used. In a format your kid can use this week.

DALE IS 48 YEARS IN. THIS IS THE WORK HE'S LEAVING BEHIND.

He's not retiring. He's not slowing down. But after 48 years of clinics and consultations and one-on-one work with the best in the business, he wants to make sure the system itself doesn't go with him.

That's what the 12 videos are. They're not a content library. They're not a course. They're the digitized version of a career. Every drill he refined. Every coaching point he learned the hard way. Every cue he developed by watching Hall of Famers move and asking why they were doing it that way.

This is the only place this exists. He didn't license it to a brand. He didn't sell it to a company. He recorded it, organized it, and put it online so the parent in the stands and the high school coach with no budget could finally have access to what the NFL has had for four decades.

Who this is for

  • The parent of a competitive football player ages 12 to 18 who knows their kid has more in the tank.
  • The coach who's tired of recycled drills that don't show up on Saturday.
  • The athlete who's serious about playing past high school.
  • The dad who'd rather invest once in the right system than a hundred times in the wrong one.

Who it isn't for

  • Anyone looking for a faster 40 trick.
  • Athletes who don't want to put in 6 weeks of foundation work before they see results.
  • Parents looking for a magic bullet, not a method.
  • Coaches who are sure they already know everything.

Stop training the wrong speed.
