- Today's video is a full walkthrough of my approach to hurdle training and coaching my hurdlers. We focus on maximum performance and lower volume practices, which aligns to the Feed the Cats coaching philosophy.

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 strong foothold in football.
One of the most important features of Feed the Cats is the world-wide network of coaches who have bought into the idea of prioritizing speed and explosiveness while de-empathizing conditioning, toughness, and high volume workouts. The focus on well-rested, happy, and healthy athletes is truly a departure from the grind of the traditional approach. Hurdlers may benefit from this approach more than any other subset of track athletes.
When hurdlers are removed from silly volumes, intensity and focus will skyrocket. When tired becomes the enemy and not the goal, hurdlers remain healthy.
Thanks for watching!

The 3 steps came natural for me
Brillant!
For middle school hurdlers who are not ready (or tall enough) to 3 step, do you prefer discounting the hurdles and getting them to 4 step or sticking with 5 steps so we don’t have to develop an additional lead leg?
One of the most difficult things I have dealt with coaching hurdles is breaking habits of 4 and 5 steppers when they were younger. I also hate training 2 lead legs. However, like you said some just aren't ready to 3 step. So my general rule of thumb is if they want to 5 step, try to progress them to 4 ASAP. If they want to 4 step, try to progress them to 3. Work on stride length and efficiency often, utilizing wickets etc.
@Shawn McDonald Yeah I would just have them do what they can for now and keep pushing them to develop that 3 step
Super insightful presentation! I just took up coaching hurdles after being primarily a distance coach. On the scheduling aspect: would the "rest" days means just no hurdling that day, or would that mean the entire day off? Would it be feasible to have those athletes work other events those days if they were also a 400m runner or long-jumper?
Thanks! I'm not a fan of kids being a jumper/hurdler combo because of the workload, but if I did have one I would probably have them split event specific days between the two events. I think kids need 2 days a week of pure rest, 2 event specific days, a pure speed day, a lactate day (as far from meets as possible), and a meet day. If 2 meets, take out the lactate day.
I can 3 step the first 3-4 hurdles but after that I lose it. Is it because I’m not pulling my trail leg through hard enough?
Without video it’s hard to know what your technical issues are. Also, if you can’t run the 100m in the low 12s 3 stepping will be hard for you.
When you say 4 steps between the hurdles, is that meaning the student is switching their leading leg each hurdle? Sorry if that sounds stupid, just wanting to clarify. Thanks
Yep, that's correct
