Most speed programs chase the output and ignore the foundation. They measure split times and celebrate the scoreboard — but they never address why your child moves the way they do.
Play Faster builds the seven physical standards that underpin all athletic movement. When the foundations are right, speed follows. So does something else: a child who backs themselves — because their body has given them undeniable proof they can.
Play Faster is for children already in sport whose speed, confidence, or both aren't matching their ability — and parents who are ready to give them something structured to work on.
Kids aged 8–16 competing in any team or individual sport — football, soccer, basketball, netball, rugby, athletics, cricket, running.
Capable children who haven't unlocked their full speed yet — you can see the ability, but something isn't clicking.
Young athletes who go quiet under pressure — they have the physical ability but it disappears when it matters most.
Athletes who've hit a plateau and need a fresh framework to break through to the next level.
Families not in Melbourne who want the Natural Born Running method delivered online, in their own time.
Parents ready to be involved — not just spectators. You'll understand what your child is working on and why.
Each week focuses on one movement standard. Three sessions per week at 15–20 minutes each. Every standard builds something your child carries long after the program ends.
Single-leg stability, proprioceptive control, base of support under load. The foundation everything else builds on.
Thoracic extension, "draw the bow" positioning, carrying load efficiently through the spine. How you stand is how you run.
Forward lean mechanics, drive phase, first-step explosiveness. This is where most young athletes leave speed on the table.
Landing mechanics, impact absorption, elastic energy return. How your foot meets the ground determines everything above it.
Drive from the inner tripod, propulsion mechanics, generating power from the ground up. This is where speed comes from.
Drive mechanics, counterbalance, rhythm and coordination. Your arms set the tempo for your entire body.
Step rate, stride efficiency, sustaining mechanics under fatigue. When everything comes together — this is what it feels like.
Works at home, at the park, anywhere. Your child follows along — no guesswork required.
One module per week. Introduction, educational deep-dive, and drill demonstration for each standard — so your child understands what they're doing and why, not just how.
Three follow-along sessions per week, 15–20 minutes each. Tissue work, mobility, strength, and integration drills — built into a clear weekly rhythm.
Every drill shown clearly with coaching cues. Your child sees exactly what correct movement looks like before they try it — no guesswork, no bad habits.
Once you have it, it's yours. Return to any week, any standard, any time — as your child develops and the challenges change. No expiry, no renewal.
Play Faster gives your child the seven movement standards and 21 sessions — the physical mastery foundation.
Built From The Ground Up adds everything else — a full parent coaching video series, breathwork and regulation tools, the Confidence Connection psychological integration, personal video feedback, confidence tracking, and Mick coaching you through the process from start to finish.
If speed mechanics is the primary goal, Play Faster is the right choice. If you want the full transformation — physical mastery and the parenting framework to support it — BFTGU is the framework that delivers both.
Sold via discovery call only — so Mick can make sure it's the right fit before you invest.
The complete confidence-building system. Speed mechanics + parent coaching + psychological integration framework.

"I feel faster when I take off." That's what Eli told me when I asked how he felt after working with Mick. He can be a bit difficult and moody at times, was nervous at the beginning — but Mick has a real way with kids and knows how to get the best out of them. So grateful.
"Mick is very knowledgeable and fantastic to work with. After just one lesson, my 15-year-old daughter's running improved dramatically. Highly recommended."
"I've done 2 running analysis sessions with Mick and have been so much better for them. Has fixed my running immensely and made me so much more effective on the pitch. Recommend to any athlete."
"Mick has been amazing with my 10-year-old son's recovery. Thanks to him, my son is running comfortably and smoothly again. Appreciate his care and support."
"His knowledge, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to understanding my son's individual needs have been outstanding. Each session was professional, supportive and effective."
