Marek Wensel Speed & Agility Training

Marek Wensel Speed & Agility Training I offer individual and group training focusing on block starts, acceleration technique, speed and energy system development.

For those outside of the area, I can offer video analysis of block starts, acceleration and/or sprinting technique. With agility athletes my key focus is movement education. I have trained athletes participating in baseball, basketball, cross-country, football, hockey, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball. No matter what the sport or the athletes’ age, there is a group of fundamental movement skills that serve as the foundation for my program. Many of the same movements that I teach my Division I athletes, I teach to my youth and adult clients. I believe that educating the athlete is just as important as the movements themselves. With my track and cross country group we spend our time honing sprint mechanics, acceleration, top speed, energy system development, pacing, race strategy, nutrition, etc. The athletes go through a meticulous dynamic warm-up before ever session followed by a theme-based training session. The program is designed around the athletes' upcoming sport season.

The Speed Alliance athletes had a fantastic State Meet! 13 athletes from 6 different schools competed. They earned 2 State Titles, 11 top-8 medals, several PR's as well as a few School Records. Also, Payton was inducted into the Iowa Girls Track and Field Hall of Fame. Congratulations to all these athletes, their teammates, parents and coaches.

Saturday Payton (Wensel) Hunger will be inducted into the IGHSAU Track Hall of Fame at a ceremony at the State Meet. She will be the first and only member of the Class of 2018 to this point. I've been sitting on this news for quite a while waiting for a press release. However, that won't happen until after the ceremony. I wanted to get this out because I know many of you followed her at Linn Mar and the University of Iowa. Some of you may be at the State Meet, and I wanted you to share in the celebration as you were a big part of her track career.
