Thursday, November 16, 2017 • WATERLOO CHRONICLE • 27Serving your community since 1856 By Adam Jackson Chronicle Staff No matter the sport, speed and power and essential skills.That's the idea former sprinter Dave Tomlin and former jumper Kenen Shadd are trying to get across to athletes looking to get to the next level. "Speed work is essential in all sports, even sports like volleyball," said Tomlin. Together, the pair is attempting to change the way young athletes run, juke and acceler- ate, whether it's on a field, court or on the ice. Shadd and Tomlin have created a business venture called Maximus Performance, essen- tially a continuation of the private coaching work they've done in the past with select ath- letes. They wanted to open it up to the entire sports community. If parents need any convincing of the quali- fications of Shadd and Tomlin, one quick look at their resumes would put it all to rest. Tomlin holds multiple regional and pro- vincial age-group sprint records from Grade 7 through high school. He capped off his junior career by winning double gold in the 100m/200m (10.1/20.96) at the 1995 Pan Amer- ican Junior Championships in Santiago, Chile. The following year, he was the Canadian Senior National Champion in the 200m, at the age of 19. Later, he went on to make multiple appear- ances on Canadian national teams, including a semifinal appearance at the 2003 World Indoor Championships. Shadd, on the other hand, has focused on the jumping side. The long jumper and triple jumper, also a native of Kitchener, has excelled on the international level. In high school, he was an OFSAA record holder and five-time champion in triple jump, triple Canadian Junior Champion (twice tri- ple jump, once long jump), and a finalist at both the Pan American Junior Championships and IAAF World Junior Athletics Champion- ships. Shadd's high school exploits earned him a full ride scholarship to the NJCAA, where he became a national champion and All-American in the triple jump. He then moved on to com- pete at the NCAA Div. 1 level. Combined, the pair have travelled across Canada and across the world to take on the best of the best when it comes to running and jump- ing -- and now they want to help others learn the skill as well. "Our experience, it's hard to replicate," said Shadd. "You can learn the technical side of everything, but it's nothing like living it your- self." Both Shadd and Tomlin need no convincing of the importance of speed skills in every single sport -- but they realize parents and athletes may need it. "There hasn't been a lot of focus on it. Every- thing has been so sport-specific," said Tomlin. "This is about building well-rounded athletes. Tomlin added that it's important to teach proper speed and power foundations from a young age because as athletes get older, it may be too late.
