Feed the Cats is a revolutionary way of training, coaching, and teaching that values specificity, essentialism, performance, and love. After gaining a world-wide following in Track & Field, FTC has now gained a foothold in American football, along with other sports.
Thanks for watching, and I'll see you on the next one!
COACH!!! You are speaking my language all over this RUclips session on speed and "CULTURE." You metrics you "Record, Rank and Publish." It is with in that system/process that your culture is cultivated, holding athletes accountable, responsible and consistent. If we want to claim and talk about anything related to culture there have to be objective measurable metrics. What are they and how are those behaviors related directly to culture. You have created a culture of "SPEED" with a relentless pursuit of the essential. Every time we get together as educators in any meeting it is about how, what and when things were done/taught? We do not ever focus on the "Active Learning Behaviors." There must be metrics that are measurable for learning. If it was ran like your system/speed program/process, then you have the potential to change things on real time because you have relevant data daily and for every session. We have ran away so far from the process of learning that we took away the accountability, responsibility and consistency/discipline required for students to be successful. Just like Coach Hal Mumme and the Air Raid, you coach with your "feed the cats," and me trying to reverse engineer into the classroom measurable observable learning behaviors. Sorry, this is my passion.... And I feel like I am alone on an island. Blessing and thank you for making me a better coach!
Very interested in how improving max speed helps everything. I heard about the same effect as kettlebell swings. How it can help improve lifts that don’t seem related. Wander if it’s the same type of CNS improvement.

Thanks for another great resource, Tony! Looking forward to Part 2!
Thanks Mr. Holler from Holland. Your material is a game changer. As a distance runner I went the 'barefoot' route back in 2018 and never looked back. High mileage has never been my thing because it wears me out. Have been doing calisthenics for some time and three runs per week, one barefoot long run of around 25 k and two track workouts aimed at distance runners. Also I do regular calisthenics especially for upper body. Although I am doing very well performance-wise I do still feel I enter training sessions not fresh enough. I did some sprinting before (not very dedicated, just playful) and it had a great effect. But I got drawn back into the grind by my track team and I now realize some things must change.
Love it!
@@coachtonyholler I have been following The Athlete Special and his girl Allie Ostrander for some time now and sure enough the title of Spencer's latest video is "Hard Work is the Only Way || Brick by Brick". Their friend Ari Klau is into triathlon and pretty much stuck in the same 'work ethic' with results lukewarm at best. I think so many people can benefit from the FTC principles, there is truly a world to win.

From Mr Holland to Mr. Holler
I feed my cats meat only. Do you do the same, Coach Holler?
Yes, eat like a cat!
Great philosophy.......I can only imagine having a real coach in high school way back when.................lucky students........💪💪💪
Coach, Thank you for this content as I continue to work with my own kids.
Coach, sending you much respects from France.
Now my question, I´m in my later twenties and I´m coming back to play football at a "competitive" (for Europe) level. Do you think it´s possible to make speed gains in a few months by supplementing my football trainings with 2-3 weekly sessions of mainly uphill speed work and plyos ?
Takes 8-10 weeks to improve 1-2 km/hour. Plyos and SPRINT WORK (not hills) is the key. See my ATOMIC SPEED WORKOUT.
BTW, I did presentations in Nantes Dec 9-16.
@@coachtonyholler thanks for the answer Coach, I will look for some flat terrain. Wish I knew you were in Nantes as it is the region my mom lives in, I´ll be sure to tune in next time you´re in France
Weightroom can be the most important thing for developing athletes sometimes. For my case as an example. My pbs as a senior were 11.37,22.04,47.90 at 5"7 128lbs bodyweight. How would you even get me to become faster without getting stronger. Im significantly weaker than the guys running 10.00
Genuine question, not here to discredit your beliefs and or successes. Just inquisitive :)
Rewatch the part on the weight room. Where did I say, “don’t lift” or “strength doesn’t matter”???
I do say that nothing, specifically, in the weight room makes you faster.
I do say “Don’t let lifting interfere with speed.”
All of my athletes lift. Is it THE MOST IMPORTANT THING? No.
Do weak athletes need to lift more than strong athletes? Yes.
If the weight room doesn't help your speed, why go to the weight room?
I don't think Coach Holler is saying don't go to the weight room. I seem to recall him saying at various times that when you go to the weight room you may have to do some strength work that's unrelated to speed if it will help in your sport, but otherwise you shouldn't be doing weight work that "burns the steak" or kills speed. Coach Holler posted a video of Christian McCaffery doing humongous deadlifts, but only lifting and then dropping the weight. This is known to improve "strength to the ground" which is a major requirement for speed. Also, I believe McCaffery and his strength coach Bryan Kula use the Barry Ross approach of doing three sets of three reps at around 85% of one-rep max weight - so they are training not for bulk but strength. (I'd love to be corrected about this if I'm wrong in any of the details!)
Thank you!!! It’s so sad how the “traditions” work against kids😭 it’s basic biology right? Stress, recovery, adaptation specific to what you want to improve. Why do ppl think they will get faster by going slow? Love your approach👍👍
Strength is generally good for sprinters. However, it’s not “specifically” good (with the possible exception of Barry Ross stuff… concentric deadlifts supersetted with a plyo).
