If you are into getting athletes faster and stronger (which I assume you are since you are reading this right now), then you need to know the name Dan Fichter.

When it comes to anything regarding the nervous system and training speed and power, Dan Fichter is the man. There are few out there who have as broad of experience as him in the realm of training the nervous system for athletic enhancement. I’ve never learned so much about the brain and nervous system, and its relation to speed and power from doing a single podcast thus far.

Dan Fichter owns and operates WannaGetFast Power/Speed Training, a sports performance training business in Rochester, NY and Tampa, FL that offers training to elite athletes. Fichter’s clients have included pro hockey players Chris Thorburn (Winnipeg Jets), Stanley Cup champion Brian Gionta (Buffalo Sabres), Ryan Callahan (Tampa Bay Lightning, US Olympic Team), Shane Prince (Binghamton Senators), Olympic track and field star Victoriya Rybalko from the Ukraine, NY Yankee shortstop Cito Culver, UFC fighter Mike Massenzio, Oakland A’s 2nd baseman Andy Parrino, Washington Nationals Infielder Chris Bostick along with Washington Nationals pitcher Brian Dupra. Dan has coached athletes in all sports from all over the country. Dan is in two different Halls of Fame for his own athletic prowess in football.

Fichter is presently the head football coach at Irondequoit High School in New York.
