Tim Newman, a 1985 graduate of Lawson High School in Lawson MO, played football for the Cardinals. As a starting Quarterback and Cornerback, Tim was always looking to become faster. Tim tried many different devices but none of them worked, so he designed and developed the Speedster Training System. The Speedster was a simple design at first with just a harness and rope dragging a couple of old tires across the football field. Today, the Speedster has the same philosophy but a much better design. This total resistance device along with training program has changed the live of athletes around the world. In 1989 Tim started a company called Greater Performance Inc (GPI-USA). This company is responsible for many different sports related training products, but the Speedster is the root of most of the others.

Some household names like, Rich Gannon NFL Quarterback of the Oakland Raiders, Robbie Glantz NHL trainer and owner of “Robby Glantz International Power Skating”, JJ McQueen former Strength and Conditioning coach of the Dallas Stars have all made statements giving the Speedster credit for a lot of there success.

Rich adapted to it quickly. By the next season, Gannon noticed a difference in his speed and quickness.
