From Our Students

Isla (Hibs & Scotland International)

“The On Your Mark’s Speed School has played a huge part in my success as a player. I come away buzzing every time. My game has improved significantly, and I am faster, and more explosive than ever before”.

Harvey (Corstorphine Dynamo)

'“My running technique was something I needed to work on massively. What was once a weakness has now become a strength, I am now the fastest player in my team.”

Alba (Hearts)

‘‘The adjustments I make during a game to create space for scoring opportunities, or close down attackers, I learned from Mark at Speed School. We recently had a time trial at training and my coaches noticed the difference in how explosive I was!’’

Lewis (Edinburgh South)

“Mark’s knowledge on sprinting, and applying it in football, is brilliant. In only 4 months, I have knocked almost two seconds off my 50m sprint time. My acceleration and top end speed have improved dramatically in such a short space of time.’’
