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 ...

The March "Youth Against Gun Violence (Pt1)

Image
Things on earth are not manifested until the heavenly realms have decreed them. To understand the things happening here in this world, we must give our self over to listen and obey God's voice and command. At Yokefellows Athletics Jesus always went to the people even through many rejected Him, as many did receive Him and were saved to have ever lasting life.  [John 3:15].    Its being a few months now and the Lord has pressed upon me to hear the cries of "Youth Against Gun Violence". the mothers, fathers, family and community. These are the cries of a falling world, where sadness. anger and bitterness are on the menu for the day.   As I gave up my Sabbath church attendance, with the conviction of God's word [Mark 2:27-28]  " And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath". I attended a city March "Youth Against Gun Violence" held in Toronto and embraced it f...

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...

    A country can be considered like a team when united; a successful country knows how to rally most of its citizens to pull in the same direction just like a football or basketball team. They foresee things in the presence with an eye for future progress. It is said countries that have the highest number of patients have a good grasp on their future and its citizens wealth. You can click here and look at the countries investing in growth through patents: https://www.statista.com/statistics/257152/ranking-of-the-20-countries-with-the-most-patent-grants Patents are also, an ideal indicator on the direction a country is heading in mainly because, it sees itself rising above its current global status. It’s an investment with a yield of 3, 10, 25, 50 or even 100 years with the understanding at the end of the journey of either training, building or research its future will be brighter. These patents would be better off for its people, families, community, and global standing a...

Its Now Yokefellows Athletics

Image
    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...
