Feed the Cats: Sprint the 400

Description

FTC 205: SPRINT THE 400
CLYDE HART OR FEED THE CATS

“SPRINT THE 400” is the FIFTH course of an ambitious “Feed the Cats” certification program created by Tony Holler. This is a 200-level course, signifying that its content is TRACK SPECIFIC.

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 foothold in American football.

The target audience of “SPRINT THE 400” is track coaches. There are over two hours of detailed teaching. Drawing a sharp distinction between the greatest college track coach of all time and “Feed the Cats” allows students to see the differences and develop their own philosophies towards training. The instruction connects simply and directly. With 39 years of coaching and teaching experience, Coach Holler has found ways to connect with his audience without the sophisticated complexity of most presenters.

The first two courses, The Speed Workout and X-Factor have a combined 2.5 hours of content, giving athletes (and coaches) everything they need to prioritize speed in the off-season. The third course, Block Starts, is arguably one of the most detailed instructional videos ever produced on the subject of block starts and acceleration. Record Rank Publish (over two hours) is the food of cats, the heart of the program.

More courses are on the way!

Excellent course for anyone who is managing a small, multi-sport population of sprinters. Coach Holler has done a great job of combining the science of sprinting and the psychology of coaching high school athletes. Keep them healthy, keep them happy, and get them fast!

Excellent course , as usual. At last you can train your lactate tolerance and see real time results, without getting involved with tons of useless 300s , ladders, etc.

The information was great in spots. Very specific with workout examples. It was, in large part, a critique of Clyde Hart that wasn’t necessary or could have been stated without naming names. I won’t give it 5 stars because of his language and unprofessionalism. It’s hard to share his content because of it.
