The Fast Lane: Using the 1080 Sprint in High School Track with JT Ayers

In this episode of The Fast Lane, Chris Korfist sits down with high school track coach JT Ayers to discuss how he implemented the 1080 Sprint into his training program. 

JT shares how his program fundraised to purchase the device, the challenges of learning to use it with a large team, and the practical ways he integrates the technology into daily training. The conversation explores how data from the 1080 Sprint has helped JT refine acceleration training, identify technical weaknesses, and provide athletes with objective feedback. 

They also discuss how technology can support coaching decisions, improve athlete buy-in, and make advanced training methods, like resisted and overspeed sprinting, both safer and more effective.
