Having observed Dennis and Frank instructing young student-athletes to better understand the dynamics of their body specific to obtaining maximum performance with the correct technique, I strongly encourage parents to enroll their child in the Central New York Speed Training program. The CNY Speed Training program is much more than improving the speed of an athlete, as the instructors focus on body mechanics, physics, stretching exercises, muscle memory and techniques in an effort to also reduce the risk of lower body injuries.
Adding a component such as speed training is critical to the athletic development of any athlete; however, the health and safety of an athlete is of primary importance. CNY Speed Training combines improving a player’s speed and instructing proper techniques which together lead to not only improved performance, but improved player safety by reducing the risk of injuries. Although I have found the above to be true with athletes in general, it is especially true for female athletes as they are prone to more knee injuries compared to male athletes.
CNY Speed Training has been a tremendous asset in the physical development of my daughter. I am pleased that my daughters will train with Dennis and Frank for many years to come as teaching them the proper running techniques is critical in reducing the risk of an injury and improving their overall athletic performance.

If you have the need to improve speed then CNY Speed Training is the place for YOU!
Last summer, I experienced my first college softball combine. I thought that I was pretty quick until I got there and I was just average. It was shortly after that when I was lucky that Dennis Dewane saw me play at a local softball game and approached me about my running. I started training with him and I could feel a huge difference in my body, my form and my speed definitely improved.
In November, I was invited to, the USA Elite Combine in Connecticut; my home to first base time was 2.95 and one of the top 5 runners. That was a great feeling! But then, it just kept getting better…On January 3, 2010, I was invited to the TNT Combine in Hatfield, Pa where my time from home to first base was 2.88, I came in first in the 2012 graduating year and also in the top 10 overall. Being able to run to first in under 3.0 is huge to me and everyone knows that in a game, it’s the difference in being “safe” or “out”..or a game win or game loss!
Dennis has helped me become an over all better athlete! I can jump higher, explode left or right to catch the game winning line drive, and I run the bases a lot faster and smoother. I can change directions quickly when I lead off from first or take off quicker when I steal. I am so lucky I get to work with Dennis. He has made me twice as good as I was before I trained with him.

I started going to Dennis's speed and agility classes in late November, and went only 2 times a week up until my lacrosse season started in February, and I came to find not only was I in better physical shape, but I was faster, more explosive, I could jump higher, and cut quicker. These classes have helped me in ways I never would of thought, I started as a middle class player, to becoming one of the premier athletes on my team. This is an amazing opportunity I am lucky that i took advantage of it!

I am a 20 year old female athlete who plays Lacrosse for Utica College. The CNY Speed Training class helped me tremendously. I noticed a change in my speed after one class, and I was able to have a faster first step. The classes are also extremely fun. I am not a fan of workout classes that leave you bored, or running for the door, but this class flew by and I can’t believe how tired I was after. It’s a workout that you can tell works. I can’t wait to take another class.
-- Kasey Lederle - Utica College Lacrosse
He had his first track meet last night at Port Byron. Last year he was a distance runner, but this year he was been working with the sprinters. He ran the first 100 Meter race in his life yesterday and they gave him a tie for 2nd (one timer thought he won it) with a time of 12.48. The kid he tied with was supposedly state ranked last year in the 100. The winning time in the paper was 12.4, so it was a good race. The other top finishers were seniors and Austin was excited that he was right there with them as a sophomore.
He was amazed about how much faster he is this year which he said is clearly the result of his training with you at CNY Speed Training.

Just wanted you to know last night at Connor's football game he caught a pass on the sideline with 4 defenders on him took off up the sideline with a quick burst of speed that left the defenders behind. His ability to do that is a direct result of the time he has spent training with you! I thought you would like to know that. Thanks again!
Just wanted to say thanks for everything you and Frank did for Ashley. She had a great opening week of softball and the coach was impressed with her increased speed. There is a noticeable difference in her quickness. Thanks again.
