Your coach
Jacob transferred from Green Bay Southwest to IMG Academy. His family invested tens of thousands of dollars on that bet. First game, he missed 5 tackles and gave up a touchdown. He started asking himself if he was even built for this.
He turned that season around and earned an offer from Missouri State. Then they pulled it midway through his senior year. Back to zero. He walked on at Furman and had to earn his place from nothing, again.
What changed everything wasn't working harder. It was a specific system built around speed mechanics. Jacob dropped his 40 from a 5.09 to a 4.58 and his shuttle from a 4.58 to a 4.05. That number changed what coaches saw when they looked at him.
He built the Scholarship Speed System to give every serious athlete the exact process he used, without the years of trial and error.
I'm not special. I didn't have stars. I wasn't recruited early. I'm 5'11" and from Wisconsin, a state that isn't known for producing many D1 football players. The only reason I'm here is because of the pillars I embody from the Scholarship Speed System I developed.

The problem
Performance
Readiness
Opportunity
You’re not being overlooked because you’re not good enough. Nobody has shown you what it actually takes, and camp season won’t wait.
The system
Everyone else is training a piece of the athlete. Your position coach has your skill, your strength coach has the weight room, your 7v7 team has your reps. Nobody has the whole athlete. SSS does: 1:1 coaching built in three phases, in order, and adjusted to you.
Pillar 1
Build the athleticism that shows up on film
Pillar 2
Perform under pressure when it counts
Pillar 3
Get in front of coaches and get offered
The order is the argument. Speed, then film, then conversations, then offers.

Apply nowThe average is 0.38 seconds off the 40, but it depends on your starting point, your position and how close your camp season is. Jacob confirms what's realistic for you on your first call.
Most in-person speed coaches give generic drills without diagnosing your actual speed limiter. SSS gives you more direct access to Jacob than most in-person coaches: 24/7 messaging, weekly 1:1 calls, weekly video breakdowns of your specific technique. A trainer sees you two hours a week and has no idea what happens in the other 166. After leaving IMG Academy — one of the most prestigious sports prep schools in the world — Billy Crider trusted Jacob with his development. The results speak for themselves.
Plan on 60 to 90 minutes a day covering technique, speed work, recovery and filming your reps. The system is built to fit around school and football, not compete with them.
If Jacob believes you're a fit, he'll get on a call with you. Investment depends on the level of support you need to reach your goals — that conversation happens on your call.
Local trainers can be great. But most aren't building programs specifically around what you need individually — your mechanics, your weaknesses, your recruiting timeline. Jacob used the Scholarship Speed System principles to drop his own 40 from a 5.09 to a 4.58 and has since used this exact system to help 100+ athletes do the same. That's a specific track record on a specific outcome.
Jacob reviews every application personally. If you look like a strong fit, you'll get a call with Jacob. He'll ask about your training history, goals, and current numbers. If he's confident he can get you the result, you'll talk about what partnering up looks like.
No. Applying is completely free. The application is how Jacob makes sure he can actually get you the result before taking you on as an athlete.

Your dream of playing at the next level is not going to happen by accident. You can keep doing what you've been doing: working hard with no system, going to the camps, the 7v7s, and hoping a coach finally notices you. Or you can take ownership. You can get the proven system, the expert guidance, and the unrelenting confidence to become the football player every coach wants.
If you're tired of being overlooked, it's time to apply.
