About us - Our Program
In May of 2002, Coach Caruthers and his wife, Kim, started Championship Speed & Strength, Inc., with programs based o­n LeBaron's 20+ years experience as a Head Strength and Conditioning Coach. He passes along to the young athletes in Central Texas what he learned with professional and collegiate athletes: "Speed Wins!" And he is still learning today from coaches and athletes around the country. 

At Championship Speed & Strength, each athlete is getting the same level of training found at any major collegiate program and professional sports team. In fact, many athletes at CS&S have training techniques in their workout programs which Coach Caruthers learned from two study tours in Moscow, Russia and Leipzig, Germany.

CS&S is designed to help young athletes achieve their athletic goals and as a result, to have great lifelong memories of their experiences with athletics.

CS&S also wants to help instill confidence in young athletes, raise their self-esteem, and encourage them to accomplish what they thought was impossible.

About Waco Sports Academy with Championship Speed and Strength
About us - Our Program
When Coach Caruthers was watching his sons, Chase and Lane, play baseball at the ages of 7 and 9, he realized how many of their teammates and players o­n the other teams had not been taught how to run and sprint. He remembered how he wished he had been able to get help when he was a young athlete- help with how to run faster, get stronger, jump higher, and throw farther so he could have had more success as a growing athlete. He decided to create those opportunities for young athletes through Championship Speed & Strength.
