I remember that Coach Holler Said Saquan Barkley called him and asked what he could do to get faster. I just watched the Eagles and New Orleans game and Barkley looked like rocket on his long TD run. Announcers were amazed how fast he is.
Your fave fan 62 y o me here again to say thanks coach Tony for these great tips. Noticing some improvements due to more rest and better strength sessions. Someone saw my Strava session last week and asked if I had an injury for only posting 2 x 400 max efforts instead of 6. I said no I was busy feeding the cats 😁
@@coachtonyholler It's a great country. We have many teams and leagues, but the sport is still very amateur. I coach a team in the country's capital. We don't have many resources, buying American football equipment is expensive for us and all the players have to balance work with training. We literally play for the love of the sport, we are already the 3rd largest consumer of American football in the world, behind USA and Mexico.
Coach Tony, thank you for sharing all your knowledge! I’m fascinated by all the tips you share and as 43 yr. young woman I still sprint and love it! Coming from a tennis player back ground I always trained speed and agility. Now days I still sprint but most of my sprints are done on the beach. Wondering if sprinting on the beach is as good or even better for my joints, speed etc.? I do it 2-3 times per week but every time I do it I feel very powerful, fast and as far as endurance I can go on and on. Sometimes I stop after 45min. so I don’t get injured but my energy seems better then 20 years ago. I started implementing your training drills and honestly I feel like I could compete against any high school runner and do just fine. 😜 I have a low body fat percentage, lift weights (heavy) 4-5x per week but mostly enjoy my sprints more then anything. My son is a professional soccer player, he is 18 and when he trains sprints with me on the beach I always leave him wondering how fit his mom is. 😁
4:50 I've just begun watching this and I'm loving it, I love the idea of prioritising speed training and being a little bit more analytical than the average sports coach. However, I think the coach made a logical mistake there when he said "there are no barbells on the field" . There isn'ta track, spikes, a straight line and electronic timing on the field either. It's not a valid reasoning.
@@haczabim He was making the opposite point. We lift weights and sprint in a straight line to create better ATHLETES. It doesn’t matter if there is no lifting or sprinting in the sport.
Coach Tony Holler, have you read Sydney McLaughlin’s book, “Running from fear to faith?” In chapter 11 halfway through the book she suffers an injury that forced her to rest for a month. Came back running a second faster time than what she and her trainer chose for her. I don’t think she put it together that the steak 🥩 was being overcooked!! By her second race she broke the record. Missing out on your work I believe!!
First, I'm the strength coach for the track team . Don't hold that against me. I’ve been following and advocating the feed the cats' training style. I have a senior who has a very lofty goal for his 100m his PR is 12.2 his goal is 11. What advice would you give me to help him. We are working on consistency and timing, of course. Developing strength. Thank you for your support
@@SuzieGullett Speed grows like a tree. 11.0 for a 12.2 kid is like wanting to be a millionaire in 6 months. Consistent speed and x-factor training, lift after sprinting. 4 day work week. Sleep. Go on a mission and surrender to the results.
@coachtonyholler I understand I've told him. My plan is to focus on strength and technique and consistency of effort for pre season, then technique speed and atomic warm-up with consistency. Then, drilling down on speed and consistency. Want to support his dreams while keeping the work smart
Hi coach. I'm a football goalkeeper who has 4 team trainings and 1 game a week. I've been doing the atomic workout 2 times per week, 1 before one training and one before the game, with great results. I just have one question. How should i warmup in the other 3 trainings? Would doing the atomic workout without the sprints a good option, since we should only sprint 3 times per week max? Or is it to much? Thank you
@@DavidSantos-bc7md The Atomic Workout being only 60 sec of work might be able to be done before every practice, sprints and all. Timing them will give you answers. Experiment!
Hey I’m wondering how I should train for the fall season. My 400 is a 51.5, my 200 is a 23.5, and my 800 is a 2:03. I signed up for xc but do you think I should train top speed during xc or should I just do the long distance running? (I’m trying to focus on the 400 this year)
hey coach , i’ve just started training for the 100m for the first time. my time is 16.5 seconds and everyone’s telling me to stop competing as there’s no way i can catch up to those around me. should i keep practicing or realise that it’s possibly too late for me
@@johnwright9979 At max velocity the two biggest issues are gravity and a slow firing CNS. We need to train VERTICAL FORCE at top speed , not horizontal force. Parachutes improve horizontal force. Parachutes also SLOW US DOWN, preventing us from challenging our CNS.
@@coachtonyholler It’s windy down here on the plains in Kansas. My thinking was using chutes to help with balance and stability in core (hips) during sprinting.

I'm a sucker for equipment. Sled? Yay or nay? Should I use it just for acceleration?
Can i use it for max speed?
What about parachutes?
@@jonathon3872 Neither help max speed. Sleds for acceleration. Never parachutes.
Hi, would you recommend doing pylos 2 times a week along with this together. Or pylos are not ad effective as just doing the feed the cats workouts?
