Carrington Beckford’s foundation in athletics began at 6 years old in Jamaica, where he was introduced to track and field and developed an early appreciation for sprinting, rhythm, coordination, competition, and movement. That experience shaped the way he views long-term athlete development, both physically and neurologically. As the founder of Overdrive Elite Performance Systems and a former collegiate football player, Carrington built his coaching system around neuroplasticity, locomotion, biomechanics, sprint mechanics, strength, power, elasticity, and long-term athletic education. His approach is rooted in the belief that great athletes are not developed through strength alone, but through movement quality, coordination, repeated exposure, and intelligent coaching. Since founding Overdrive in 2017, Carrington has trained youth, high school, collegiate, and professional athletes across multiple sports, helping athletes earn scholarships, roster opportunities, and higher levels of performance. Beyond training athletes, he is passionate about developing coaches and teaching the why behind speed, movement, strength, and long-term athletic growth.

Carrington has built a reputation for developing elite athletes across a wide range of sports, from youth standouts to collegiate champions and professional competitors.

His roster includes Cornelius Johnson, 2023 National Champion at the University of Michigan and NFL Draft pick; Kevin Pierre Louis, NFL linebacker; and Zaire Franklin, Pro Bowl linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts.
