Speed To Dominate with Coach Harper

The 3 Hidden Costs of Running Improperly (That Most Parents Don’t See Coming)Most parents think sloppy running mechanics only show up on the stopwatch… but the truth is, the real damage happens off the clock. Every season, I see youth athletes lose confidence, families waste time and money, and injuries creep in—all because the basics of running form were never taught.In this video, I’ll break down the 3 hidden costs of running improperly and show you how to fix them:👉 Start here with my Speed Form Fixer system: https://derrickharpersteamwd1717.myclickfunnels.com/speed-form-fixer👉 Apply for the 1:1 Virtual Speed lab: https://form.typeform.com/to/T0pzQTe4Or jump into my Speed to Dominate Program ($10): https://speedtodominate.com👉 Join the Fast Lane Membership (with Coach Harper AI): https://thefastlane.app.clientclub.net/communities/groups/the-fast-laneFollow for more:📲 Instagram: @thecoachharper📲 TikTok: @speedforkidsBottom line: running improperly doesn’t just cost time on the clock—it costs confidence, resources, and health. Fix the form first, and the speed will follow.Coach Harper is the #1 Youth Speed Coach In the World

Everywhere you look, the advice is the same: “If you want to run fast, train fast.” Hill sprints, sled pushes, box jumps, cone drills… those tools have their place, but without proper mechanics, they just reinforce bad habits.Here’s the truth: speed isn’t about effort first, it’s about efficiency. If a kid is running with arms flailing, heels striking, or posture stuck in a lean, they’re wasting power and putting stress on their joints.I tell you how youth athletes unlock “easy speed”..the kind that looks effortless but drops real times. Once form is dialed in, every drill, sprint, and rep compounds instead of cancels out.Coach Harper is the #1 Youth Speed Coach In the World👉 Start here with my Speed Form Fixer System : https://derrickharpersteamwd1717.myclickfunnels.com/speed-form-fixer-sales👉 Join the Fast Lane Membership (with Coach Harper AI): https://thefastlane.app.clientclub.net/communities/groups/the-fast-laneFollow for more:📲 Instagram: @thecoachharper📲 TikTok: @speedforkidsRun smarter first—then run harder.
