How Many Times per Week Should You Sprint?

[@juwanrigby1924]

This is why the sport is evolving I prefer younger coaches than old ones for this exact reason and explanation

[@juwanrigby1924]

Let me give you an example right now I have shin splints in late October. That’s really early. Feel like I get run into the ground. As a sprinter (60-200 mainly) doing 10x300’s

I've just started adding your feed the cats training and principles to my son who plays football (soccer) and before his match yesterday I took him to the side and had him do 5 short sprints, and he played better than ever, he was faster, sharper, more agile , he out ran and out worked every other player on the pitch and got man of the match. Amazing stuff.

[@donnybrooklads]

Agree with coach Tony here. Given the legal ramifications coaches these days have to show due care with athletes under their guidance, keep in mind what we witnessed with gymnastics and if I was a coach today I'd be very mindful of my athlete's well being as a paramount priority.

[@jessecaras2324]

always look forward to your uploads coach tony! Much love!

[@deezel3176]

I love the way you think coach! I wish I had this training as a high school athlete. Thank you for the information, I'm just taking notes! Peace, peace, peace and prosperity unto you and all those associated with you!

[@loganwhite3161]

Always a good day when you upload coach. We appreciate your content. 🔋⚡️🧨

One oft the most refreshing videos on sprinting that I have seen

[@tomcunningham5494]

Tony, grew up in southern IL playing multiple sports and a coach's son. I'm a cat at heart, but still feel have moments where the workhorse wants to come out. As a masters level sprinter, would you recommend anything more than RPR and an atomic workout prior to competing? Thanks so much for the wisdom and information you share.

Coach, I coach boys HS hoops in MN. What girls team did speed work that won state? 7:10

[@coachtonyholler]

Stewartville. Hope I got it right. Might have been ranked #1 or played for championship.

[@Jambeeni]

They played for the title, but got beat unfortunately. Such an awesome story though! @@coachtonyholler

Where can I buy your book Tired is the enemy. Not the goal, and where can I purchase your sprinting workout??? I want to try it out for myself and report back with any and all progress

How is it possible to get trained by you? I am 15 years old, live in Germany and want to mainly do Long and Triple -Jump but I also want to be a crazy sprinter.

[@coachtonyholler]

I remote train for $300 first month, $150/month after.

[@mattisderbabo596]

@@coachtonyholler but I want to get trained by you in person. I am already on an online program by Justin Laboy. But I have some issues with my coach here in Germany. He is a really nice and motivating person but I am not so sure about his training programming...

[@aaronjackson5528]

Would the Atomic workout be recommended on the day of a track meet?

[@coachtonyholler]

We don’t do a formal atomic workout but my guys will basically do one to get ready to sprint. Our 2 sprints might be 4x1 handoffs.

[@roberthickey4201]

Would doing the atomic workout for a warmup be advisable at the beginning of basketball practice daily?

[@coachtonyholler]

I would do it 2-3 times a week. Yes, if done CORRECTLY, it would become a perfect warmup AND give you valuable feedback on the health of your players. And, would make players more ATHLETIC. One school in MN actually did it on game day.

[@roberthickey4201]

@@coachtonyholler appreciate the feedback. You really have me thinking. I’ve been running our guys a lot for conditioning for the season but we still always seem to be tired in games. What I’m doing isn’t working.

[@coachtonyholler]

@@roberthickey4201 FTC teams do ZERO “conditioning”. Tired is the enemy, not the goal.

[@christopherdasaro7981]

Does this transfer throughout the year? Where other days might involve weightlifting, lactic acid workouts, etc. Still 2 days per week sprinting when those other components come in and out of the training schedule?

[@coachtonyholler]

Yes, we like to get at least 2 sessions every week. However, some weeks in the spring doesn’t allow for 2 speed sessions due to weather, schedule, etc. it’s possible to go a week with nothing but meets, bad weather, and x-factor.

[@Messup7654]

@@coachtonyhollerwhat about for acceleration training where the distance are low like under 50 meter can you sprint and lift more often?

[@coachtonyholler]

@@Messup7654 All speed training is less than 50m. Acceleration happens in first 10-20m.

Daniel hand high school just one state championship. Another sprint based football team

[@coachtonyholler]

Just another brick in the wall.

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

Young kids can will sprint all the time. If they are motivated! It's alls about motivation. Motivation is essentially everything! As we age we lose motivation for some reason. I mean true motivation. This is NOT the kind of spirit 'I want it more' or 'I want to improve'. I talk about being so motivated to want to do something more than every other thing in life! I think only very young people (kids) have this😊

[@coachtonyholler]

It might be “joy” you are speaking of.
