Appreciate you posting all this. Really helping me as a parent trainer for a 12 year old soccer player in Florida

[@emilstorgaard9642]

Love your videos, Tony. I ran the 200m in 23.20 my last year of high school. Thinking of picking up sprinting again here 10 years later. Training effectively a few times a week should produce some decent times

[@coachtonyholler]

Be patient and play the long game.

Very insightful coach Tony! Thank you for all do

this is so god damn good

Appreciate all the information you’re dropping.

Thank you!

Could you make a video on in season lifting during track?

[@coachtonyholler]

Sorry, unless athletes need to lift for football, lifting should be minimal in-season. Why would we ever want a secondary recovery issue? Sprinting is extreme work. I could take care of in-season strength needs with nothing more than pushups, pull-ups, and med balls.

[@crisotero6341]

Can you make a video on women training, for speed and agility. Weightlifting tips for women.

[@coachtonyholler]

I don’t see how it’s different than men. Do you?

[@SunOmega]

Hi coach, so at the start of the video you said Barry Ross plan fit FTC, then you show your programs with 3x5, so do your athletes do 2-3 reps or 5 reps? Thank you as always

[@coachtonyholler]

@@SunOmega I don’t supervise the weight room anymore. My guys lift during PE.

[@SunOmega]

@@coachtonyholler Oh alright, did they used to do 2-3 reps or 5? Which one you consider best

From a distance runners perspective, I would rather see my kids running xc and then indoor/outdoor track. Unless the kid just really loves football/basketball, I think in upper high school he would probably benefit from running more. Most distance runners are pretty small and skinny so I'm not sure it would even be a good idea to play football. What do you think?

[@coachtonyholler]

For sure. Okay sports you love (and are good at). 🏈 and 🏀 are great sports for sprinters and jumpers. Obviously XC is good for distance runners. 🙂

[@thewisebull7609]

Do you think calisthenics is just as beneficial while doing sprints 2 times a week vs hitting weights? I’m looking at it with a boxing perspective, to not let the weights slow me down, but still want to increase speed without losing my strength

[@coachtonyholler]

Lots of ways to get strong. Sprinting in and of itself is the most under-rated strength builder I know. Med balls, plyos, pull ups, push ups, lunges, farmer carries, and isometrics are fantastic. However, I would NOT neglect the weight room. Lift heavy but never let it interfere with speed.

[@philandroid9890]

I love the information but I couldn't see exactly what exercises that was done in the gym from the video. Can you say what they are

[@eclipsewrecker]

I’m against year round sports specialization. I’ve heard a lot of your points on coaches’ poor conditioning/overuse/overtraining (not just football coaches), but …..do you see the dilemma? …Give up a kid to the risks of damaging conditioning?

[@gianpolignano2632]

Do you publish the results electronically and send them out to your kids? Or do you post them in a particular spot?

[@ve_rb]

Hey coach, are the auxiliary lifts done in 3 sets 5 reps also?

[@adnahmed]

I was also wonderiny this

[@jackcarpenters3759]

I wonder if this is evidence based or just another opinion.

[@coachtonyholler]

43 years of coaching sprinting and weight room. Definitely not dreaming shit up.
