COACHING SHOULDN’T BE GUESSWORK.
Better coaching isn’t about collecting more exercises, methods and certifications.
It’s about having a system that helps you understand what your athletes need, why you’re doing something and what should happen next.

THE FOUNDATION OF SPEED BY SPORTLAND
THE SPORTS SPEED SYSTEM
A practical system for developing speed that actually transfers to team sport.
Speed training shouldn’t be a collection of drills.
The Sports Speed System gives coaches a framework for understanding what to train, why they’re training it and how each method progresses towards sporting performance.
Built around four layers:
GENERAL → SPECIFIC → SPECIAL → TACTICAL
From developing the athlete’s physical qualities to expressing speed when and where it matters in competition.

SYSTEMS
Give your knowledge structure. Build frameworks that organise your methods, guide your programming and make the next step clearer.
TRANSFER
Train what actually matters. Connect what happens in the gym and on the training field to the qualities athletes need in competition.
DECISIONS
Turn information into action. Profile the athlete, identify the limiting factor and choose the training intervention that solves the problem.
WANT TO GET FASTER? TRAIN WITH SPORTLAND.
You need to know what is limiting your speed and what you need to train to improve it.
Speed By Sportland coaching takes the same systems used to educate coaches and applies them directly to your development as an athlete.
Whether you need to improve your acceleration, maximum velocity, change of direction or ability to express speed in your sport, your training starts with the athlete in front of us — not a generic programme.

Meet Sam Portland
BUILT BY A COACH.
FOR COACHES.
I’m Sam Portland, strength and conditioning coach, speed coach, educator and author of The Sports Speed System.
I’ve spent my career working with athletes and coaches, trying to answer a simple question: how do we make training actually transfer to performance?
That question became the foundation of Speed By Sportland.
What started with speed development has grown into a wider system for helping coaches understand their athletes, organise their methods, make better programming decisions and develop confidence in their own coaching process.
Everything you’ll find here has been built around the same principle: coaching education should make the job clearer and more practical, not more complicated.
