Our Founder's Journey
As a retired Olympic and professional athlete, I have lived the discipline, commitment, and sacrifice that high-performance sports demand. My journey—from a youth with raw talent to competing on the global stage—has taught me that speed, power, and mental resilience are at the core of athletic greatness. These lessons, earned through years of training, competition, and perseverance, are the foundation upon which I built Osondu Speed Development (OSD).
I founded OSD with a vision to give back to the sporting community by creating a dynamic training environment where young and emerging athletes could develop their physical capabilities, mental focus, and performance edge—regardless of their sport or background. Whether it's track and field, soccer, football, basketball, hockey, tennis, or baseball, my goal is to provide youth with the tools, mentorship, and scientifically designed programs that I wish I had access to earlier in my career.
Through OSD, I'm committed to shaping the next generation of elite athletes by unlocking their potential through structured speed training and performance development.
