Adrian's Personal 60-Time (After 3 Knee Surgeries)
I wasn't born FAST.
IN FACT, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN SLOW.
Hey, I'm Adrian Zietara, founder of Underdog Speed. My story probably sounds a lot like yours, but with one big difference: everything was stacked against me.
Before I was 18, I had three knee surgeries. I was constantly injured, always undersized, and perpetually overlooked. By all accounts, I should have been the slowest guy on the field, destined to be cut.
But I refused to let my circumstances define my career. I became obsessed with a single question: Is speed a gift, or is it a skill?
After earning my Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology, I found the answer: Speed isn't genetic..it's technical. I discovered that my injuries weren't bad luck; they were caused by poor training and a complete misunderstanding of mechanics. By learning how to run efficiently and apply force correctly, everything changed.
Despite my injury history, I built myself into a 6.3 sixty runner, hit .350 for my career, won two Gold Gloves, and earned multiple First Team All-Conference awards at the college level.
I made all the mistakes so you don't have to. My mission now is to give dedicated, overlooked baseball players the one thing I never had: A proven, step-by-step blueprint to unlock their elite speed potential and take control of their own careers.
WHY YOUR HARD WORK
ISN'T MAKING YOU FASTER
Most athletes are training hard, but they're training wrong. Here are the three biggest speed killers in baseball today.
THE GENETIC MYTH
You've been told your whole life that you're either born fast or you're not. This is the single most destructive lie in amateur baseball. It creates a fixed mindset that kills your confidence and convinces you that no amount of hard work will ever be enough to catch the "naturally gifted" athletes.
Bodybuilder Training
Your strength coach has you on a program designed to get you bigger, but it's not making you more explosive. You're doing heavy squats and bench presses, but you're neglecting the specific muscle groups and movement patterns that actually produce speed. Your training is making you look like an athlete, but it's not helping you move like one.
Leaking Speed
You run too tall. Your arms flail. You land flat-footed. Every time you sprint, you're leaking energy and fighting against your own body. Without mastering the fundamental mechanics of sprinting, all the strength and power in the world is useless. You can't put a turbocharger on a faulty engine.
The Harsh Reality Is...
It's not that you lack the potential to be fast. It's that you lack a system that unlocks it. You're being overlooked because you're following the same generic, outdated advice as everyone else, while the players getting the scholarships are using a blueprint that treats speed as a science.
— The Underdog Approach
THE 3 PILLARS OF ELITE VELOCITY
This isn't about random drills. This is a complete, 12-week system designed to rebuild you from the ground up into an explosive, technically sound athlete.
SPRINT MECHANICS
First, we fix your engine. Through frame-by-frame video analysis, we identify exactly where you're leaking speed. Then, we build a personalized program to re-wire your patterns. You'll learn what to feel, why it matters, and how to apply it so that efficient mechanics become second nature.
SPEED ENGINE
Once your mechanics are clean, we add horsepower. We build raw, explosive power that translates directly to the 60-yard dash. Through a customized baseball-specific plyometrics program, we target the exact muscle groups that generate speed, turning your body into a field-dominating machine.
SPEED TRANSLATION
Finally, we make sure your new speed shows up where it matters most, on the field. We teach you the art of the stolen base, how to get a better jump, and how to translate your speed into greater range in the infield or outfield. This is how you stop being a liability on the basepaths and start being a weapon.
WHAT'S INSIDE?

THE RESULTS SPEAK
Bryce
"I went from a 7.6 to a 6.7 in just 3 months. It completely changed my recruiting process."
Max
"I dropped a full 2 seconds off my 60 in 90 days. It's insane."
Zach
"Going from a 7.2 to a 6.6 felt impossible before I started this program. Now I'm getting looks from schools I never thought I could play at."
Tyler
"I dropped over half a second off my 60, from a 7.05 to a 6.54 in 90 days. The system is legit."
Carter
"Dropping from a 6.9 to a 6.5 was a game-changer. Coaches started calling me instead of me calling them."
Cash
"I got 0.6 seconds faster in 90 days and became one of the fastest guys on my team."
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you coach kids online?
Each athlete follows a structured, personalized sprint program and uploads sprint videos on a weekly basis. I then break down their mechanics frame-by-frame and provide clear, actionable coaching cues just like I would in person, but with one major advantage: nothing gets missed. There's no guessing, no wasted reps, and no details slipping through the cracks. Every single movement is analyzed and corrected.
How many days per week is training?
Most athletes train 3-4 days per week, depending on their age, the time of year, and their current workload with their team. The program is designed to fit seamlessly into their existing schedule while still delivering maximum results. We're not here to burn them out, we're here to make them faster. Managing workload is an important part of that.
How long is the program?
The standard program runs 12 weeks. This is the sweet spot that allows enough time to correct faulty mechanics, build real speed and power, and see measurable, undeniable progress in their 60-yard dash time. Transformation doesn't happen overnight, but 12 weeks is enough time to see a dramatic difference.
What results should my son expect?
Most athletes see significant improvements in their acceleration, running efficiency, and overall 60-yard dash time. But beyond the numbers, families typically notice faster first steps, cleaner mechanics, and more confident, athletic movement on the field. Your son won't just run faster, he'll look faster.
How long is each training session?
Sessions typically last 45-75 minutes, depending on the training day and the sprint volume prescribed. Some days are more intense; others focus on recovery and refinement. Every session is purposeful. There's no filler, no fluff.
How long are coaching calls?
Coaching calls are 20-30 minutes and are laser-focused on what matters: video breakdown, progress updates, and mapping out the next steps. These aren't generic check-ins. They're strategic sessions designed to keep your son on track and accelerating toward his goals.
How much does this cost?
Pricing varies based on the level of coaching and support needed. We offer multiple options, but make no mistake, this is a premium service designed for athletes and families who are serious about achieving real, measurable results. This is not a generic program you download and forget about. If you're looking for cheap, this isn't for you. If you're looking for results, we should talk.
What do you mainly teach?
I teach sprint mechanics, acceleration, and speed development, which is the science of how to apply force correctly, move efficiently, and translate raw athleticism directly into better performance on the baseball field. Athletes don't just get a list of drills; they learn what to feel, why it matters, and how to apply it in real game situations.
Why is this better than in-person training?
In-person training has a fatal flaw: you can't slow things down or revisit reps. Online coaching allows me to break down your son's sprint frame by frame, track his progress week to week, and coach his mechanics with surgical precision without distractions, without rushing, and without any detail being missed. It's not just as good as in-person. It's better.
How will my son's sprint mechanics improve?
Your son will learn how to accelerate correctly, apply force efficiently, and maintain proper posture and rhythm at higher speeds. Through weekly video feedback and targeted drill progressions, his mechanics will improve step by step, and those improvements will carry over directly to game speed. He won't just be faster in a drill; he'll be faster where it matters, on the field.
