why run it?

Our mission:

To use sports performance training as a vehicle to impact athletes in a positive way that will follow them the rest of their lives. This is accomplished by providing various programs that will help develop the disciplines needed to become successful in their sport and also life.

Our Goal:

To develop the best running back talent in the country. It does not matter what type of offense you play (spread, pro style, pistol, wing-t, etc), Run It will enhance your abilities and maximize your potential. Coach Harris does not only hang his hat on his D1 and NFL playing experience, but he has also been coached by some of the greatest Offensive Coordinators (Sparky Woods, Bill Musgrave, Mike Martz, Bobby Petrino), Running Back Coaches (Bob Price, Andre Powell, Wilbert Montgomery, Ollie Wilson) and played beside some of the best Running Backs (Marshall Faulk, Warrick Dunn, Steven Jackson, Thomas Jones) in football history. This experience did not only make Arlen a better player, but an even better Coach along with his two sons receiving full D1 scholarships at running back as well.

Testimonials

  • “As involved parents, my wife and I decided to enroll Zach, our 10 year old son, into football skills trainin owned and operated by Arlen Harris with the purpose of further developing his skills to compete in organized tackle football. Having played in the NFL, Coach Harris brought experience, skills and knowledge that was used in the program delivered to Zach. Today, Zach has an appreciation for hard work, discipline, passion and fun and how this translates to success on and off the field thanks to the hard working staff at Run It. I highly recommend all Run It Performance programs.

  • "It's important to develop a blue collar work ethic as early as possible. You grind in practice so you can eat on game day. Run It Performance is a great opportunity to experience training that will elevate your game and prepare you for the next level,"

    Ezekiel Elliott, Ohio State, Dallas Cowboys

  • “It was the one thing that my son loved going to every week. He needed a lot of work on hand/eye coordination, as well as developing his confidence on blocking and how to get tackled. Man he grew so much as a person and as a football player. The summer camp was incredible as well. He didn't know a single person there, but by the end of the first day when I went to pick him up, he was having such a blast with all of the boys and coaches there. Run It is awesome for developing young players.”
