Brumbies are thoroughbreds!
The Brumbies have been training hard with exceptional sprint times being delivered.
Forwards coach Laurie Fisher, said “their 40m sprint times and beep test results are better”
Brumbies athletic performance director Dean Benton declared White and Prior as the two fittest rugby union players he had seen.
Remember…if you can’t measure it you can’t improve it ! Speedlight makes it EASY !
Melbourne Storm know what’s best!

ACT Brumbies use Speedlight V2 with SpeedStart
Atheltic Performance Director, Dean Benton, uses Speedlight V2 exclusively to test sprint ability of the ACT Brumbies.
Dean says ” The Speedstart is the device I’ve been waiting on for years……’….there has always been too much variability on the start position, and too much speculation on what it should or shouldn’t be. Now, thanks to SpeedStart I get repeatability in my results that allows a me to make a truly quantitative call on a players performance in the sprint”
Gambetta speaks on the ‘start’
………yes it is, because it is accurate, you take out the subjectivity, inter tester reliability is no longer a factor. There is no subjective judgment of what first movement is, it is cut and dried, the times are accurate……………
Vern Gambetta is a man who has dedicated his life to sprint technique. It was interesting to see his remarks about the NFL Combine on his blog
All too often we see timing being undertaken without due diligence being given to the things that make timing accurate. Inter-gate placement distance is one of these, but easily understood. The start however, has been a source of error for-ever and not a lot of people understand the implications. Even Vern’s remarks about using a ’touch pad’ , although an improvement, still has its problems. Read about our SpeedStart device and learn how Swift has solved the eternal problem of start time inaccuracies.
Reds look to the future with SpeedStart Accuracy
Actual starting position and how to define start in a sprint test has long been a problem for all sporting codes. Whether 1m, 0.5m or some other arbitrary distance is selected, it’s always been an issue for uniform starts.
Damian Marsh , Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at the Reds says………..” At last someone has got it right ! The start issue is something we’ve all been battling for years. Swift should be congratulated for pursuing a solution for a long-term problem. I am sure we’ll see more and more sports teams pick up on this much needed technology”………….

Introducing the SpeedStart
The problem has always been there………..do I start behind the first gate???……..how far behind the first gate???……..maybe a thumbswitch is the way to go???? SPEEDSTART solves all these issues. Speedstart is a contact-less, wireless sensor that measures when your back foot leaves the ground. All confusion is gone. SPEEDSTART projects a laser line vertically from the ground through your ankle joint , so you know you are starting identically on each test.At last a repeatable system is available for this age old problem, and it interfaces with the world famous Speedlight Timing Systems.
