A little about Velocity.

Founded in 1999, Velocity Sports Performance began as the brainchild of internationally-recognized coach Loren Seagrave who developed a program to train student athletes to develop their speed, power, and agility. A five-time, NCAA Track & Field Champion coach, Coach’s Seagrave’s client list includes over 50 Olympic medal winners, first round NFL draft picks, and professionals from virtually every sport. Velocity Sports Performance grew from his idea that enhanced mainstream athletic training – training similar to the type received by the pros – could create better, happier, less-injury prone athletes. In creating Velocity Sports Performance, Coach Seagrave wanted to help kids improve their speed, get off the bench, and stay in the game – not just for a season, but for a lifetime.

Coach Seagrave’s dream – to bring modern, effective training techniques to athletes across the country – has grown from one center in Atlanta to over 60 training centers across North America, with plans to expand internationally. Today, Loren continues to teach his methods to Velocity Sports Performance coaches across the network to ensure athletes – kids and adults alike – can experience the joys of athletic performance.

Orem, UT July 6, 2009 Throwdown Elite Training Center (ETC) is raising the standard of customer care by including Xtreme Sports Insurance with all memberships.  Xtreme Sports Insurance (XSI) is accident and injury insurance that covers the costs of injuries due to medical expenses and missed time at work. Throwdown ETC has an amazing facility, excellent trainers, a skilled staff, and is making bold changes to ensure that people can workout at their facility KNOWING that they have some insurance if they get injured.

For those who are active or participate in any sport, injuries can happen.  Expensive deductibles and missed time at work takes money out of athletes’ pockets if they get injured.  Throwdown ETC is taking an active interest in their members’ wellbeing and is providing XSI—a monumental first for training associations.

Throwdown ETC layers the benefits of XSI over an already-impressive highlight list.  As the world’s largest alternative training association, it boasts of having over 21,000 square feet of space—fueled by a state of the art audio-visual system, an olympic weight facility, a state of the art free weight facility, and a full-size octagon for sparring.  Robert Scott, founder of XSI states,

“Throwdown is an innovative and industry-leading training facility—the perfect setting for helping fighters that might not qualify or be able to afford other insurance.  XSI allows them to train hard knowing that, if something does happen, they’ll be getting a check to help cover the costs.  XSI and Throwdown are changing assumptions people have about insurance by making it accessible, directly paid to the fighter, and easy to apply for.”

Despite including XSI in all memberships, Throwdown takes every precaution to ensure the safety of all members.  Classes are separated by level and are taught by world-class martial artists and professional athletes.  Other options like yoga, pilates, and a professional massage therapist help to keep members in the best-possible physical condition.  For more information, visit them online at www.throwdownetc.com or in person at 1640 S. State Street in Orem, UT.

XSI: Xtreme Sports Insurance is the first sports insurance that helps fill in the gaps by paying you directly if you get injured.  Instead of paying your doctors, XSI sends you a check in the mail for expensive deductibles, bills not covered by primary insurance policies, or for lost time at work.  XSI is located in Draper UT at 11576 S. State St. #1202A. Information can be found online at www.xsinow.com or by calling 801.501.9314.
