About Us
Are you an aspiring player craving that competitive edge over your opponents? Born out of countless conversations with players just like you, Speed Solutions® understands the need to set yourself apart from your opposition to excel in elite sport.
Gameplay is becoming increasingly fast-paced, every second counts and it’s more important than ever to ensure you can cope with your sport’s demands. Players often find themselves unprepared for the required intensity, leading to more injuries, set-backs and reduced playing time. Did you know that hamstring injuries were the most common type of injury in the English Premier League during the 2023/24 season? (mostly occurring during a sprint or deceleration action).
Whether you're a footballer, sprinter, GAA, rugby, or hockey player, Speed Solutions® bridges the gap between ambition and expertise by providing an innovative approach to speed training. With over a decade of sprints coaching experience, our goal is to empower individuals and teams with the tools to reach peak performance and ensure you’re ready for the intensity of your sport. Don’t settle for mediocre results - Unlock your speed to become a game-changer, leave your opponents in your dust, and always be the one to Get There First!

FOUNDER | SPEED COACH

Welcome to Speed Solutions®, your ultimate destination for becoming faster and unlocking your athletic potential through effective speed training and coaching. I'm Dean, and I've dedicated two decades of my life to the sport of athletics. With a passion for speed that ignited in primary school, I've journeyed through the exhilarating realm of competitive sport, representing both Northern Ireland and Ireland on the international stage.
My forte involved the lightning-fast disciplines of the 60m and 100m sprint, where explosive acceleration was my main strength. Up until my last race in 2022, I had the opportunity to engage in top-level competition, understanding the essential elements of success and acquiring valuable lessons along the way.
Having achieved some success as an athlete, I made a full transition into the world of speed coaching, where I’ve spent over a decade passing on my knowledge to aspiring athletes. During this time, it became evident to me that speed is a fundamental element not only in athletics but also in other sports, especially team sports. This recognition inspired me to develop Speed Solutions®, aimed at assisting players of all ages to unlock their speed potential and improve their overall performance.
At Speed Solutions®, I aim to offer a blend of my years of experience, in-depth knowledge, and a genuine desire to see players reach their full athletic potential. Whether you're a football player aiming to burst past defenders, a rugby athlete looking to outrun your opponents, or a tennis player aiming to make it to the ball faster, Speed Solutions® is here to eliminate the guess-work and help you to Get There First when it counts!
