The Speed Development Course from
Coach Zach Dechant
The Movement Over Maxes Speed Development Course
is a 4-Part online training program that teaches and demonstrates the methods, principles, and system Zach uses to develop elite, explosive baseball players.
Coaches, Players, and Parents! If you're looking for a proven system to develop overall athleticism, speed, quickness, and agility, this is the program for you.
Baseball = Speed & Power
Baseball is a sport that is almost solely built around speed and power. Those characteristics dominate the game. As such, we want to train like the game is played. Athletes, especially in their teen years, have a unique window for developing speed and training the nervous system.
There are too many benefits to sprint training to carelessly pass it over in lieu of longer runs to “get in shape.”
When was the last time you saw a movement that was done slowly on a baseball field?
Athletes must react incredibly quickly. They have to sprint to an area with no lag. Throws and swings are all single-event explosive actions. There is nothing that happens slowly on a baseball field. So why would you train in that fashion?
Charlie Francis stated, “Watch the player, not the sport.”
Train that way and you won’t regret it.
This course shows you how.
The Foundation for Developing Speed
The means and methods included in this course are used to lay the foundation for speed development, as
well as develop overall coordination and technique acquisition.
The movements progress from a more-controlled environment with the A-Skip Series to learning at increasing speeds with buildups. They finish with all-out full-speed runs that teach athletes overall athleticism and the ability to repeat proper acceleration angles from a variety of body positions.
Bonus:
INSTANT ACCESS to Dynamic Warm-Up Series
The foundation of any great training program is a solid dynamic warm-up that prepares the body to move explosively. This is the series Zach utilizes with each of his athletes! The template plus demonstration videos are included with the Speed Development Course!

Coach,
If you’d like a simple, proven system to train your players for speed and strength… safely and in
a way that translates directly to the field…
so they can perform at their best and have the best chance to play in a college program or beyond…
then keep reading.
My name is Zach Dechant.
I’ve served as the Senior Assistant Director of Strength & Conditioning at TCU since 2008, while working with the baseball program and football quarterbacks. During the off-season I personally train a group of 30+ current MLB/MiLB players. I've had the opportunity to train some of the best players in baseball, such as Matt Carpenter and
Jake Arrieta to name a few...
TCU Baseball Strength & Conditioning
Coach Zach Dechant Helps Transform
Players At All Levels Into Elite Athletes
My new book Movement Over Maxes takes the mystery out of strength training for baseball.
Written for the busy coach who wears all the hats in their program, not only is it easy to read and free of overly complicated scientific jargon, it’s grounded in concrete examples and very specific exercises and workout routines you can use starting today to help your players.
Why Movement Over
Maxes?
The resounding issue that led to Movement Over Maxes was the need for
movement literacy in and out of the weight room.
It was the need for athletes to possess the basic skills that would create the foundation of future development. It was a starting point to not only protect them from injury, but create more sound movement and body control.
The best athletes in sport are often the ones who have great body control and a wide array of movement skills at their disposal.
Yet, so many athletes lack general movement
and lifting skills.
It seems that an increasing number of today’s athletes have never really been taught the proper way to move. This Foundation Program fills the void by building athletic-based movement from the ground up, providing a more thorough understanding of developing basic movement patterns off the field.
Many schools lack the necessary resources to hire a certified strength and conditioning coach, thus leaving the sport coach responsible for off-the-field physical development as well.
At high schools and colleges across the nation...
Baseball coaches must
take on this responsibility,
or watch athletic development
go by the wayside.
I created Movement Over Maxes for the coach who wears every hat for their program. The coach who mows the grass, drags the infield, handles the equipment, and trains the athletes.
This is for the coach who devotes their life to not only creating better baseball players, but growing boys into men through sport. I commend those coaches for taking an active role in their team’s development and
I wrote this resource to help.
The truth is:
You are being bombarded with information.
Every player wants to do what he sees his favorite pro athlete doing online. However, what most need more than ever are the essentials of movement... broken down.
Simplicity is often the key to efficiency.
This Foundation Program is built on simplicity. I created it to address the need to
maximize movement with minimal equipment. The real nuts and bolts of the program require a barbell and a coach with a desire to develop athletes the right way.
A barbell and an athlete are truly the only things you need to start using Movement Over Maxes...
Why Movement Over
Maxes?
As a junior at TCU, I was overweight and out of shape, with little to no muscle and weighing about 230 lbs. I had season-ending Tommy John surgery and knew if I wanted to get healthy and back on the field I needed to make some serious changes to my diet and exercise. I started to make these changes on my own, running miles and miles every day, eating better, and training in the weight room. I got down to 182 lbs... skin and bones. That year, TCU hired Coach Dechant and I met the man who would change the way I approached training forever, and the guy who would have a major impact on my career.
Coach Dechant came in Day 1 and took the team by storm. He had the knowledge, the track record, the experience in professional baseball to gain instant respect from every player. More importantly though, you could tell he cared about you individually and wanted you to become the best player you could be—not only as a group, but specifically as me. Our bodies changed dramatically. I was up to 210 lbs. in a matter of months and the most explosive and athletic I have ever been.
Zach has mastered the ability to get the most out of his players. The Foundation Program is designed for athleticism, core strength, power, and efficient movement that translates into better baseball athletes.
His real gift is teaching. In the weight room, where every movement is critical, his instruction is second to none and his players reap the benefits of proper and sound fundamentals. I can say, without a doubt, I would never have been the player that I am today without him. Currently, I’m in my 10th season of professional baseball and every off-season I come back to Fort Worth to train with Zach. Every off-season, he has me 100% prepared to play at my best.

What Others Are Saying About
Movement Over Maxes
"the best baseball strength and conditioning coach in the business!"
Zach Dechant, in my mind, is the best baseball strength and conditioning coach in the business. He definitely makes a difference in wins and losses on the field, but his ability to develop baseball players individually is what separates him from his peers. His track record of developing young baseball players into not just professional baseball players, but major leaguers, is second to none.

COACH, WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY
"Without [Zach's] Foundational Program, I wouldn't be where I am today."
I’ve worked with Zach since my freshman year at TCU in 2011. Every day, he researches new workouts and exercises that can make the body of a college baseball player stronger and faster. Zach has made a huge impact, not only on my career, but on many other professional baseball players as well. Without the Foundation Program, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

"Zach is a forward thinker who is always on the cutting edge!"
Coach Dechant has been an integral part of our baseball program’s success over the last 15 years, not just with his amazing strength and athletic development of our players, but also with helping us build and maintain a culture of discipline and excellence. He is a forward thinker who is always on the cutting edge of what is in the best interest of the development of the athlete. If you want to improve your program and give your athletes a winning edge, this book is a must!

HEAD BASEBALL COACH, TEXAS A&M
"Zach is the reason why
I am a big leaguer."
There are many reasons why I moved to Fort Worth, but the biggest one is Zach Dechant. As a Major League Baseball player, the majority of my off-season is training to get better and it all starts in the weight room. So why go anywhere other than the best, and Zach is the absolute best—not only as a strength coach, but as a person. He genuinely cares for every athlete that he works with and puts forth the time and energy to specifically make that person better at their craft. I was a sophomore when Zach came to TCU, and he immediately skyrocketed the program.
Personally, I think Zach is the reason why I am a big leaguer. I was weak, and had no clue how to take care of my body. He showed me the fundamentals, how to move my body, how to lift properly, and most importantly, how to keep my body on the field. I was talented, but he made me an athlete and helped me get the best out of myself. I’ll admit I was mad when he wouldn’t let me go heavy (and I still get mad), but
before I knew it, I was moving more weight than I could have ever imagined. Thank you for everything, Zach.

"The Foundation Program is incredible!"
Zach is one of the foremost experts in baseball strength and conditioning at the Division 1 level. His research-based program has proven for many years to be on the cutting edge of developing collegiate players. The Foundation Program is incredible with respect to developing the player’s athleticism as the core base for player development.
