Coach Savon Hargrove is a former standout athlete from Cleveland High School in Clayton, North Carolina, where he earned a reputation for his explosive speed, athleticism, and strong work ethic in both football and track. Today, he brings that same energy and passion to coaching the next generation of athletes at HP Speed Lab.
Savon’s journey is unique because he grew up in the program. As one of Coach E’s original athletes, he began training back when HP Speed Lab operated out of a garage. Through years of dedication and consistent training, he developed into an elite athlete while learning firsthand the principles that define the program today.
Now, as Coach E’s assistant coach, Savon has come full circle. Having experienced every stage of the athlete development process himself, he understands what it takes to help young athletes grow with confidence, discipline, and purpose. His ability to connect with students, encourage them through challenges, and lead by example makes him a natural mentor both on and off the training floor.
Working alongside Coach E, Savon helps carry forward the same culture that shaped him—one built on hard work, accountability, encouragement, and genuine relationships with athletes and their families. His story is a reflection of what HP Speed Lab is all about: developing not only faster, stronger athletes, but confident young people who are prepared for success in sports and in life.
