I have said this 1000 times. Love the fact you put it in writing with the rest of the time being used during a game. If your practice should mimic your game then why have you not changed? Love it coach.

@johndunbar7293 5 месяцев назад

I’m a kicker and you just changed everything for me. I love to run long distances but now I see I will need to let that go for now as I need to be explosive for about 2.1-2.3 seconds. Thank you.

@KPWork-fr2zm 6 месяцев назад

As a distance runner/ mid distance I have to do some long distance running since that is my sport. But I always believe in the “never let today ruin tommorow”. Before I would just push and push and always felt fatigued and ran poorly in races. Now I although do run long distances I always stop a little before to recover. And go nearly all out on our intervals. And after our recovered our coach either will do ploys or just straight old school sprints.

@justinchan2556 6 месяцев назад

Hey Holler, love your stuff, I just had a question. What would you do differently if you had a more prolonged track season (indoor and outdoor) around 6-7 months and had multiple weeks in-season where there would be no meets? Will there be more speed days, or two lactate days for the week, if so which lactate sessions in particular?

@coachtonyholler 6 месяцев назад

I’d stay with a four day workweek. Some weeks NO LACTATE. Never more than one lactate day. I’d mix up sprint metrics.

@samuelmeade4873 6 месяцев назад

Love this. What would you say then for soccer athletes where a majority of our training consists of aerobic work in the form of passing patterns and drills and anaerobic/aerobic work in the form of possession games/small sided games and virtually none on sprinting? The sport and its prevailing tactics are changing to favor fast and explosive players (as compared to slow players who were more technical in the past) teams still rely on the old guard of training which is still a lot of grueling practices without the same breaks we get in games due to throw ins, freekicks, fouls, time wasting etc.. How would you then balance giving players game experience and athletic exposure to fast/powerful movements while still not burning out their CNS? Speaking from experience here as an American playing academy soccer in England and going to University.

I agree and absolutely believe everything you’re saying and it all makes sense. I got one question I’m from a smaller area and our high school athletes play both ways and some never come off the field does that change anything in your eyes.

@coachtonyholler 5 месяцев назад

Counterintuitive but… We must resist simple thinking like “play more, condition more”. 2-way players need to be your HEALTHIEST, FRESHEST players on game night. And, since fatigue increases injury risk… let’s just say you can’t afford to lose a two-way player. Thank you for the thoughtful question.

in juco our strength & condition coach would have us all run so damn much mostly long distance slow paced runs. even the linemen it made no sense especially during training camp...now we see why dudes on our team stayed getting hurt the first few games of the season we weren't in football shape but like a weird cardio hybrid cross country shape

Love this. I'm a frisbee player, and I would love to hear about how to train for frisbee. The typical point is 1-5 minutes, with running about 5s on 5-10s off in the cutter position, with the occasional 15-20s drive. Do you recommend a training program that fits that template? Thanks

@coachtonyholler 5 месяцев назад

Stop thinking of a “training template” for a specific sport. Spend your time becoming a better athlete (sprint, lift, jump, bounce). Then play your sport to get into shape.

@alexs591 3 месяца назад

wide receivers often have to sprint then jog all over the field to get to the huddle and back to the line for the next play. But with only 5-10 plays per drive, conditioning by specific practice should be more than adequate. It is strange looking back that we train kids to “hustle” and move more, when really they should be moving as little as possible between plays. All the extra jogging around in practice doesn’t help play football.

@zachlindewirth2625 5 месяцев назад

How would this change for a continuous sport such as lacrosse or hockey? Average shift in hockey and lacrosse is around a minute with some variability between the sports. How would you train these athletes? Lactate sessions or alactic sessions only?

@coachtonyholler 5 месяцев назад

I always say “let the game train the game” and “stop reverse-engineering the game away from the game”. In other words, train pure speed and explosiveness away from the sport. STAY ANAEROBIC ATP-PC. (Continuous sports don’t need lactate work.) Don’t waste time getting in shape to play a game when you have not developed athletic traits required to excel at the sport.

@ftlty 6 месяцев назад

Hi coach, For tennis which requires a lot of drills and x factor movements and the points are played in anaerobic state is a good idea to train mostly anaerobic(drills of 20-50 seconds, intervals, conditioning type strength training), with maybe 2-3 times a week sprint training(3-4 sprints of 5-6 seconds and 3 minutes rest between them)?

@zepintoferreira8431 6 месяцев назад

Not coach but a racket sports player with an opinion. Tennis is a high-skill game so the main thing to keep the main thing is skill work. Everything else is secondary. Regarding movement, there is plenty of sprinting and changes of direction, but more elastic than powerful. Low intensity plyos and some speed work generally work well I think. You wouldn't think Federer or Djoko would be great sprinters.

@coachtonyholler 6 месяцев назад

Tennis is a high skill sport and tennis athletes play a shit ton. Do NOT reverse engineer the sport! Don’t say ________ doesn’t look fast so speed is unnecessary. Build freaky athletes! Sprint fast (Atomic Workout), lift heavy, jump high, jump far, and bounce. Let tennis SPECIFICALLY train tennis.

What kind of conditioning for combat sports? Boxing, mma, bjj etc? Theres bouts of explosion, but a full fight could potentiall be up to 25mins, bjj even longer.

@coachtonyholler 6 месяцев назад

Combat sports are a little different. In most sports athletes spend too much time DOING THEIR SPORT which interferes with building athleticism. Can’t fight every day! I would still avoid traditional long slow aerobic work and put all my eggs into the athleticism basket. Stack anaerobic work and get aerobic benefits.

When you see one team cramping during the game and the other isn’t, is that due to lack of conditioning or something else?

@coachtonyholler 6 месяцев назад

I explained this in the video! It’s usually due to TOO MUCH CONDITIONING… which creates long, slow, practices that are high EFFORT but players are too broken down to practice at performance levels aka GAME SPEED. It’s the lack of exposure to GAME SPEED that causes a shit-ton of first game cramps. As the season progresses players finally get exposed to GAME SPEED by playing games.

I am training a school rugby team where some players can run up to 5miles /8km per game. Would you do any specific speed endurance for rugby Tony apart from playing the game? Any tips on how you would implement a team field pre season sport like rugby while focussing on speed? Would you do one day of repeat 50-100m lactate day with other days speed 10-40m for example? Thanks

@coachtonyholler 11 дней назад

I would do NO endurance work until 30 days before first game. Then only at end of the week and get full two day recovery. Then, let the season get you into mid-season shape.

@coachtonyholler 6 месяцев назад

No intervals. Only short 5-sec sprints up sprintable hills.

@stuartgilbert8619 6 месяцев назад

Coach Holler…I’m guessing that the 4 to 5 second hill sprints that you’ve recommended here probably fall under the “next best thing” category? If so that is good to know…as in winter access to track is sketchy at best, and I’ve absolutely nowhere to go in terms of a big enough indoor facility. With that said…would I be correct in assuming that the 5 second hill sprints would be similar to your Atomic speed workout format? 2 to 3 sprints with about 5 minutes rest between each? This could be my go to session for the winter months…

@Junker_1 Месяц назад

Sprinting isn't everything. You say it yourself because you were beaten at distance. You just love more fast speed. But without an aerobic base you will not get very far in endurance. Let's put Usain Bolt in a marathon or even a 10 km and then tell him to his face that sprinting was enough for this distance. Everyone has different talents. Genetics play a very important role and you can't change this. So yes speed is important but for health endurance is important too. It feels like you are only focused on American sports like Basketball and NFL. I want you see talking marathon and such or do you think those are lesser athletes or so?

@coachtonyholler Месяц назад

Yep. I’m a sprint coach. I’m a high speed coach… football, basketball, lacrosse, rugby, etc. I’m not an endurance coach. (But I’ve run 4 marathons.)

@@coachtonyholler Thanks for the comment. I have no problem that you are a sprint coach. I am just saying that sprinting is not better than endurance and vice versa. When I see your videos you seem to look down on endurance while that also is very important if you consider health. If you are a competitor it all starts with what your genetic makeup is. In other words both endurance, speed and strength are important.

@@coachtonyholler Yeah I totally understand that. I have full respect for you as a coach. But I got the impression you looked down on endurance sports and that speed is the most important. I admire all explosive sporters and I wish I also had talent for that. I got triggered a bit when you said who is in better shape Dave Finnestad or you while he easily beat you at 3 miles. And you seemed to imply that you were in better shape. No you weren't. And that you don't want guys in fantastic aerobic shape. To me it all depends on what discipline you are best at naturally. Both disciplines are even. But hey maybe I misunderstand you. I like your videos and advice and thank you for that. Maybe the fault lies with me.
