Get your kid faster, watch their confidence grow, and give them an edge every time they play the game.
Built for soccer players — also works for these sports.
The three mechanics — acceleration, push off, and arm drive — govern straight-line speed in any sport. If your kid plays:
They're trying harder than everyone — and still getting beaten.
You've seen it from the sideline. Your kid gets the ball, takes off — and the kid who's slower than them all season closes the gap in four strides and gets there first. You watch them try harder. It doesn't work. And you go home wondering what's wrong.
It's not fitness. It's not age. It's not "they just need more training." You've probably already tried all three.
It's three movement mechanics — and specifically, the order they fire in. An engine doesn't gain power from having more parts. It gains power from firing them in the right order. Same fuel, same pistons, wrong order — it doesn't run rough. It doesn't run.
Your child's body works the same way. The lean sets the direction. The push off supplies the power. The arms set the timing. Direction, then power, then timing — every stride, in that order. Most kids have all three parts. They just fire them backwards.
That's not a slow kid. That's a body misfire.
And it means the boots, the extra training, the clinics — none of it was wasted. It just added parts. Nobody set the order they fire in. Fix the order and the body stops working against itself. Every stride costs less energy. Every burst off the line starts on time.
Three sessions. Done in under 45 minutes total.
Three mechanics — and the firing order that makes them work.
Every kid's body works like a car. Direction, then power, then timing — that's the firing order. Get all three in that sequence and speed stops being something your child has to force.
"He looked different out there. He was first to the ball." — Bowie's dad, after 3 sessions.
A dad came to me frustrated. His son was getting out-run by kids he knew were slower. On the sideline, you could see it too — the boy had the football brain, the hunger, the vision, but every time the ball opened up, someone else got there first.
We filmed him. The mechanics were obvious once you knew what to look for — energy scattering upward instead of forward, a foot strike that was braking instead of driving, arms crossing the body and killing every burst before it started.
Three sessions later his dad messaged me.
"He looked different out there. He was first to the ball."
That's what fixing the physical does. The speed follows — every time.
$47 gets your child faster in three sessions — here's exactly what you get.
This is for parents who can see the speed is there — it's just not coming out.
Your child plays sport and keeps getting caught by kids you know they're faster than.
You can see the speed is in there — it's just not coming out consistently.
You want to do something concrete outside of training that actually makes a measurable difference on the field.
You're done watching it happen from the sideline and hoping it clicks on its own.
This is not for parents looking for a silver bullet. The program works when you do the sessions. Three sessions, fifteen minutes each. That's the deal.
The coach who fixes movement — and watches confidence follow.
I'm Mick Breen — founder of Natural Born Running. I've spent years working with kids aged 8–16, and I've watched the same thing happen over and over: fix the movement, and the confidence follows.
Fire The Engine is built on three of the seven movement standards I use in every clinic and in my full 7-week program. It's the fastest way I know to give a sport kid something real to work on — and something real to feel.
I coach my stepson's U8 soccer team. I know exactly what these kids look like when it clicks.
Common Questions
What are the three mechanics?
Acceleration (the forward lean — your gas pedal), Push Off (raw power off the ground — your rev counter), and Arms (arm drive — your ignition). They're steps 3, 5 and 6 of the seven Natural Born Running movement standards, and they're the three that cost most sport kids the most speed.
Do I need equipment or a coaching background?
Neither. Each session is one short video that tells you exactly what to look for, then a drill sheet you run in the backyard, a park, or an oval. No gym, no equipment, no prior coaching experience. If you can watch a ten-minute video, you can run the session.
How fast will we see a difference?
The mechanics usually shift inside the first session — you'll see it in how they move before you see it on the scoreboard. Most parents notice a visible change by session three. It's built for kids aged 8–16, and it works when you actually do all three sessions.
Does this work for my sport?
Yes. These three mechanics — acceleration, push off, and arm drive — govern straight-line speed regardless of the sport. Whether your kid plays football, soccer, netball, or runs track, the same firing order applies.
