The first episode of Between 2 Sprints is joined by Eric Lichter, owner of Plus Two University in Columbus, Ohio. Eric’s been coaching for nearly 30 years, from training Ted Ginn Jr. and LeBron James to directing football performance at the Ohio State University, to building one of the most successful private speed programs in the country.

We dig into his return to coaching, why tech changed the game for him, and how he’s using the 1080 Sprint to individualize training, build better movers, and do it at scale with seven units running every day. If you care about speed, LTAD, overspeed, or building a real system, this one has plenty to steal.

We cover:

-Eric’s background from private sector to Ohio State and back

-Why he started using the 1080 and the story behind buying seven Sprint 1s

-How he profiles every athlete with simple load-velocity testing

-His current 3-month acceleration cycle and weekly structure

-How he progresses assisted and overspeed sprinting safely

-Why peak overspeed numbers predict race-day top speed

-What he’s learned from 140,000+ sprints on the 1080

-His take on long-term development for middle school and high school athletes

-How to explain overspeed to parents, athletes, and hesitant coaches

-The business side of using tech and why it pays for itself fast
