Meet Quincy: Our New Speed & Agility Trainer and Former NFL Athlete

We have some big news at Cage Time. A former NFL athlete just joined our team, and he is ready to help your young ballplayer run faster, move quicker, and play stronger. Meet Quincy.

From the NFL to Our Cages

Quincy played at the highest level of football on the planet. Reaching the NFL takes rare talent, but it also takes years of relentless training, discipline, and getting a little better every single day. That is exactly the mindset we want to pass on to the next generation of athletes.

Now Quincy is bringing that pro-level knowledge to Acworth. He knows what it takes to build explosive speed and sharp footwork because he lived it. Your kid gets to learn from someone who did it at the top. That is a rare opportunity, and we could not be more excited to have him.

Here is what we think matters most about that background. Quincy did not just show up to the NFL with natural gifts and coast. He trained his body the right way, day after day, for years. He learned how the pros warm up, how they sprint, how they change direction, and how they stay healthy through a long season. Now your athlete gets that same knowledge, scaled down and made safe for a growing kid. Most young ballplayers in Cobb County never get near coaching like this. Ours do.

Why Speed and Agility Matter in Baseball and Softball

A lot of parents think of speed training as a football thing. But the truth is, quick, agile athletes win baseball and softball games too. Think about it. Beating out an infield single, stealing a base, tracking down a fly ball in the gap, exploding out of the batter’s box. All of it comes down to speed and body control.

Here is what focused speed and agility work can do for your athlete:

• Faster first step so they get a jump on the ball and on the bases.
• Better footwork for cleaner fielding and smoother swings.
• More explosive power that shows up in both sprinting and hitting.
• Fewer injuries thanks to stronger, more balanced movement.

When an athlete gets faster and more coordinated, every part of their game improves. Speed is the tool that unlocks all the others. And here is the part a lot of families miss. Speed is not just something you are born with. It is a skill you can train, just like hitting or fielding. The right drills teach the body to fire faster and move cleaner, and that is exactly what Quincy coaches.

What a Session With Quincy Looks Like

Parents often ask us what actually happens in a speed and agility session. It is not a bunch of kids running laps until they are tired. It is focused, purposeful work that builds real athletic movement. A typical session moves through a few stages:

• A proper warm-up that gets muscles ready and teaches good movement habits from the very first minute.
• Footwork and change-of-direction drills using ladders, cones, and reaction work to sharpen quickness.
• Sprint mechanics so kids learn to run the right way, not just run hard.
• Strength and stability that protects joints and builds the base for explosive power.

Every drill has a reason behind it, and Quincy explains that reason to the kids. When an athlete understands why they are doing something, they buy in and work harder.

Training in Our Brand-New Weight Room

Quincy is not working out of a dusty corner. He is leading performance training in our brand-new weight room, built to help young athletes develop strength, speed, and agility the right way. It is a space designed for real results, with the tools kids need to build a strong, athletic foundation.

And do not worry, this is not about turning kids into bodybuilders. Quincy focuses on safe, age-appropriate movement that builds athletes from the ground up. Good training at a young age sets the stage for a lifetime of healthy, confident movement.

A Coach Who Leads by Example

What we love most about Quincy is not just his resume. It is his heart for coaching. He understands the grind it takes to reach a big goal, and he knows how to encourage a young athlete through the hard days. He leads with energy, positivity, and a belief that every kid can improve.

That fits our culture perfectly. We are all about getting 1% better every day, and Quincy lives that message. He is proof that daily effort really does add up to greatness. Your athlete will not just learn drills, they will learn how a champion thinks.

Quick Answers for Parents

Whenever we tell families about Quincy, a few of the same questions come up. Here are honest, simple answers:

• What age is this for? We keep training age-appropriate, so young ballplayers and teens alike can benefit. The drills scale to the athlete.
• Is lifting weights safe for my kid? Yes, when it is coached correctly. Quincy focuses on movement, technique, and control before any heavy load. Safety comes first, always.
• My child plays a fall sport too. Will this help? Absolutely. Speed and agility carry over to football, basketball, soccer, and more. It builds a better all-around athlete.
• How often should they train? Even one focused session a week makes a difference. Two is better. Consistency is what really moves the needle.

Have a question we did not cover? Just ask us. There is no such thing as a silly question when it comes to your kid’s development.
