I’m just going to start writing and sharing about what is truly possible in track (sprinting) for the whole industry and not for a selected few. I don’t like the selected few businesses model in track and field, where the ones that don’t make the cut, are left to fend for themselves. I’ve created two business brands in track sprinting. Yokefellows Athletics (Youth Sprint Fundamental Training) and Sprint Battle (An Entertainment Event) they address the needs in today’s modern market and that inclusion of the 90% of athletes. I realize the track and field industry (sprinting) has left a lot of benefits on the table, that’s a good thing for those that can see and are willing to be a part of an athletic community ready to bring sprinting to the forefront of people’s entertainment.     https://elitefitnessnhealth.com/products/150lb-rubber-hex-dumbbell-set It's not going to take another 132 years to come to this conclusion, “that the global track and field industry will not...

The Count Down

   Its two weeks before the Sprint Battle pilot program launch in Nigeria, the actual date is June 23, 2023. This is an important date; a lot is riding on this date when it comes to establish momentum for other Sprint Battle competitions to be established. My goal is to have multiple competitions happening at once all over the globe. Its my hope we can properly capture and market the happenings of the event on that date of the 23th to conduct another Sprint Battle in the month of August 2023 as a revenue generator. I already have a few interested parties looking to know more about what Sprint Battle can do for them as a revenue channel. Sprint Battle has the advantage of being new and the benefit of being well known in community happenings. That sounds contradictory but, that is the facts. When you take something old and popular, then revitalize it to fit contemporary society a lot of the hard work has already being established. This is where Sprint Battle finds itself rev...

Sprint Battle the Begining

Image
  It’s Euphoric Euphoria is cultivated and sustained for a long duration; this is the essence of why the “Sprint Battle” was created. Yokefellows Athletics is proud to present Sprint Battle performed on a 60m oval track that two athletes sprint around competing full out for 70m. In a deep analyst of the sprint (Track and Field) industry we found that the consumer market is primed to accept a new sprint format that captures the imagination of athletic speed as a euphoric entertainment spectacle. This compelling opportunity led us to create “Sprint Battle™” a sprint competition. It will now garner excessive time and resource from Yokefellows Athletics initial plan in 2023 to implement this new sprint format that will be develop under our R&D department. In June of this year, we will look to run a test pilot program of Sprint Battle in Nigeria. Its fun to see sprint in track and field start to create new paths of opportunity for athletes to generate revenue and pubic ...

Briefing, It’s About You!

    Angela Bailey is a two-time Olympian, Canadian Outdoor 100m (10.98), 200m (23.32) Indoor record holder and Olympic Silver medalist. Angela was the Co-founder of Yokefellows Athletics, before her passing (July 31, 2021) she enjoyed sharing her knowledge and experience with youth motivating them to be the best athlete they can. It is my purpose as her brother to see this venture and mission through as a legacy in her name. Yokefellows Athletics is Christian Spirited, that searches global communities for naturally gifted youth sprinters, giving them the opportunity to be seen by interested global parties. We aim to take away as many obstacles as possible for youth to reach their pinnacle best because, we understand as Olympian and developed sprint coaches ourselves; that the challenges are many and that true speed also, exist outside of tracks clubs or organized sports.   Speed is one of those sports disciplines that lends it self to many other sports... from soccer, ...

Yokefellow our Foundation

Image
                                                              Yokefellows Athletics is built on a solid rock, the rock of Jesus Christ. We follow the set principles of Sabbath (Saturday as our day of rest)  If it was not for God and the sacrifice of Jesus,  Yokefellows Athletics would not exist. It would be impossible for me to do this business or open the doors that I'm about to open if I didn't give back to God through recognition and sacrifice of His command.  The word Yokefellows comes from one of the greatest sacrifices of biblical history, through Paul's journey to Rome and his imprisonment, he gives great honor to those yokefellows (Philippians 4:3) that lifted h...

Runners, Cleats and Spikes

Image
It is our intention at Yokefellows Athletics to meet the needs of those that come in contact with us, even outside of our main purpose of creating God blessed, positive and lucrative channels in athletics so, youths can become responsible elite athletes.  For years now I've been driven by my "WHY" a statement that goes like this "to be a supportive resource for charities and missions around the world".  During my last trip to Jamaica I had the opportunity to live my "WHY" and it felt awesome!!! I had an idea that came to me the summer of 2021,  as I was doing one of our Yokefellows Athletelics community outreach youth time sessions. I would ask parents to donate usable footwear to give back to those youth in  Jamaica in need. I called the footwear donation "Runners, Cleats and Spikes, charity drive"     It was nice to see how many parents were open to provide me with usable youth footwear but, it was heart breaking to see the amou...

Its Now Yokefellows Athletics

    We changed our company name few years ago to Yokefellows Athletics from Accelerations and Separation. Before the passing of my sister Angela Bailey (July 31, 2021) we came to the conclusion, "if God is not in it, what is the purpose of us doing any business"? The name Yokefellow comes from the bible (Philippians 4:3) concerning St Paul identifying individuals that helped him during the challenging and tenuous times he faced as he journeyed to Rome sharing the good news of Christ.  A Yokefellow helps where ever they can, its a personality of passion, love and care for the less fortunate and the struggling. Those that are in no position to do for them self, Yokefellow  has that Christ like fruits of the spirit within them.  There are 12 fruits of the spirit “ charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity. ”   We decide to demonstrate a Yokefellow kind of character and en...
