Functional Speed Academy: Where athletes are made. And humans are empowered.
FUNCTIONAL SPEED AND AGILITY
We’ve all heard the saying, “Speed kills”—but here’s the thing: speed isn’t just for the pros. It’s for everyone. After nearly two decades coaching athletes from first-timers to seasoned competitors, I can say this with confidence—speed changes everything.
Whether you’re looking to gain a competitive edge, help your kid move with more confidence, or just want to feel stronger, quicker, and more in control of your body—speed training delivers. And no, it’s not just about running fast. It’s about building explosive power, improving coordination, and unlocking the kind of athleticism that translates to every part of your game (and life).
Speed is a skill—and like any skill, it can be learned, honed, and mastered. Once you dial into it, the ripple effects are huge. Your body moves better. Your confidence grows. And suddenly, you’ve got momentum on your side.
So yeah—discover what speed can really do for you. Upgrade your game. Upgrade your life.
The Evolution of Speed
Since 2010, my approach to speed has evolved through years of hands-on coaching and big “aha” moments.

EXPERTISE YOU CAN TRUST
Meet Coach Henry
Founder of Functional Speed Academy. Innovator. Coach with a big heart—and an even bigger whiteboard.
Coach Henry is the kind of person who sees a gap and immediately starts sketching solutions. When traditional training left too many kids behind—or made movement feel intimidating instead of empowering—he didn’t wait for someone else to fix it. He built something better.
A lifelong athlete and multi-sport competitor, Henry grew up on blacktops and ballfields, where competition was fierce and lessons were earned in sweat. But over the years, his greatest passion became clear: helping every individual, from rising athletes to those with special needs, feel powerful through movement. And when the system didn’t offer the tools? He invented new ones.
He’s always asking: “What’s missing?” “How can we make this more inclusive, more effective, more fun?” Whether he’s designing multidimensional speed drills or rethinking adaptive fitness for kids with sensory sensitivities, his coaching is full of creativity, intention—and yes, plenty of dad jokes.
At home, he’s a devoted husband and proud dad to two wild-hearted boys and one fiercely independent daughter. Their house is a beautiful mix of Nerf battles, dance parties, and impromptu backyard workouts—proving daily that movement, like parenting, is best done with love and a sense of humor.
Through Functional Speed Academy, Coach Henry brings that same warmth, curiosity, and relentless innovation to the field. Because to him, coaching isn’t just about performance—it’s about people. And when people feel seen, supported, and believed in? That’s when the magic happens.
Come meet Coach Henry—the coach who builds better humans, one high-five and breakthrough at a time.
