Every summer my high school coaches would run a "speed camp" for 6 weeks. Goal was to get all the kids who showed up "bigger, faster, stronger" every Friday we would end the outdoor hour with 40yd sprints. Adding more sprints until the last Friday where we would do 40 40yd dashes. With a 60-90 second break at most. Then come track season our track coach would have workouts like 20 x 100m, 10 x 200m or 4 x 500m with 2-5 min breaks at most. Going into my Jr year track season my coach wondered why I had not shown up to track practice. I as a wide receiver, forced to do track because "its how you get faster" told my coach his workouts were stupid and I am not wasting my time with them anymore. That was a fun argument to have lol. I just wish I could go back in time and slap him in the face with all of your videos and teachings.
Brilliant video, my 8 year old son wants to start training his speed for football (soccer) because as you said, his training session only train jogging. This s the perfect video for us to make a start.
Where were you 20 years ago when I was in HS? My track times peaked as a junior right before I got a new coach who was a devout believer in Clyde Hart. My times got slower but I was a CHAMPION at running 10x 200s in practice. Haha.
I realise that masters M65 sprint training might not be your forte but I had a bizarre result during a recent Garmin lactate threshold test. My notes: "Is Garmin's Lactate Threshold test a waste of time for sprint athletes? LTHR: 151bpm - seemed ridiculously easy compared to previous tests - to the point of being boringly slow. Previous test October 2023, after months of trail running (mostly 3k - 5k), was 153bpm. But today, LTHR of 151bpm calculated max HR as 172bpm which is (2bpm) higher than previously. Not sure of the accuracy of today's test even though it was conducted over nearly 4km. I haven't done any trail running in the past 8 months - track sprint training only, longest session being 2 sets: (2x 150m + 1x 300m). Today's LT test was so easy that, after a 10 minute rest, I did something I'd never normally do: a 6x 100m (60-80%) session - I wanted to check Garmin's reported stamina levels. VO2 Max has increased from 47 to 50 during sprint training. Based on impact of LT test, I would conclude that sprint training has conferred a massive cardiovascular advantage... that I didn't get when running longer distances." #DGTX #TotalHealthMatrix
Soccer... a sport of short and long sprints, jumping, and explosive strikes on the ball... makes joggers. Like everything you say is on point, but why talk another sport down. Nobody on the face of the earth looks at a soccer player and thinks... nah that's not an athlete. It just looks slower on television. Different camera angle. If you've ever played or been on the sidelines of a top level game, it's bullet fast. Yeah they need power and sprinting endurance. They aren't going to be able to match a sprinters 60meter or 100 meter time. They dont need to. I box, I won't hold the WR in the bench... does that mean boxers aren't fast or explosive?
I raced against a soccer player once, and he was thin but extra explosive and fast as I never seen before. They learn speed through motivation-getting first to the ball.
@soapenvelope thank you. Originally I didn't want to add my personal experiences, but the soccer and football players at the HS and the College I played for used to race each other all the time and the "joggers" always won.

I wish my coaches had and implemented this information when I was playing sports in the mid 80s to early 90s. Thanks Coach.

Your experience is not unique. I was trained the same way in the 70s.

Those coaches were (and still are) so sure of themselves!
Thanks for sharing coach, great content and some food for thought as well.
Great stuff!
Excellent presentation, Coach Holler. 👏🏾
Coach Holler always keeps it 💯
Tony you are the best! Blessed to have been exposed to your stuff!
Thanks Andrew!

Love it!
How often should a football player/sprinter be in the weightroom?
2-3 times a week IMO
Are there any training certifications that apply a "Feed the Cats" mentality?
My CoachTube courses were originally created with certification in mind but we never got it tied together.
