The Story Behind The Accelerator

I never planned on inventing a training tool. In fact, the idea started taking shape decades before I ever realized it—back when I was a Division I pitcher at Temple University and later at the University of Delaware from 1984 to 1988.

Back then, sports training wasn't packed with technology or flashy programs. There were no analytics dashboards or high-speed cameras. What we had were coaches determined to find any edge possible.

For pitchers, that edge came in the form of three simple baseballs: one light, one normal, and one heavy.

The Power of Progressive Resistance

A regulation baseball weighs about 5 ounces. Our coaches handed us a 4-ounce ball and a 6-ounce ball and told us to throw.

No complicated instructions. No advanced technology. Just trust the process.

And it worked.

Those one-ounce differences seemed small, but after 30 or 40 throws they felt massive. I watched my velocity increase by nearly 8 mph during a time in my career when major gains were supposed to be behind me.

The Question That Changed Everything

Years later, I found myself sitting on the couch watching a college lacrosse game with my daughters.

In that moment a simple question came to mind:

What could help lacrosse players improve their stick skills the same way weighted training helped me as a pitcher?

That question stayed with me.

Lacrosse already had products on the market, but many were crude, boring, overly specific, or simply ineffective. Others were expensive without delivering meaningful improvement.

The sport deserved something better.

Then I remembered those weighted baseballs.

A Better Training Tool

I wondered:

If progressive resistance helped me and countless pitchers, and if athletes in other sports rely on similar training methods, why couldn't lacrosse players benefit from the same concept?

But I didn't want to create something that simply added weight.

I wanted to create balls that felt exactly like a real lacrosse ball:

Same grip
Same bounce
Same behavior
Same feel

No hacky sack like soft balls. No heavy brick balls that rip through netting after 10 throws. Not a weight that wraps around your stick. I wanted an actual ball, what you actually use on the field.

Just authentic feel with purposeful weight variation.

The Accelerator Was Born

That spark became The Accelerator.

What began decades ago as a simple pitching drill became the foundation for an entirely new lacrosse training system.

A training tool designed to help athletes build:

Strength
Precision
Confidence
Consistency
Game-changing skills

All while keeping training fun, engaging, and effective.

Built By Experience. Driven By Results.

The Accelerator wasn't born in a laboratory.

It was born from years of athletic experience, curiosity, and a belief that athletes deserve tools that genuinely make them better.

We believe every athlete deserves the opportunity to train smarter, improve faster, and gain an edge over the competition.
