Speed Training for Youth Athletes | Training & Drills

This video is a compilation of speed training drills I typically go through with younger athletes. These drills will help increase your maximum speed, and as you can see, most of these drills are the same as my high school athletes.

Intensity. Rest. Repeat. Follow this process for your speed workouts and you will see better results. This is a huge part my the Feed the Cats program and philosophy.

If you're interested in learning more about Feed the Cats training, there is a full certification program with more details around workouts, mechanics, meet preparation and more.

What is Feed the Cats? Check out the full introduction video here:

Just purchased FTC 101, 102, AND 107 at 37 years old. If I can get back to where I was in my youth, I may look into competing.

My school mate did hill sprints 🏃‍♀️ everyday. Broke the regional interschools meet at a photo finish of 10.6 seconds.
That was back 35 years ago. No internet just self taught and word of mouth.

Hey Tony, love the content. Second year jumps coach for middle and high schoolers trying to implement feed the cats to my jumpers and will hopefully will be taking over sprints next year and giving it to the whole group. When calculating MPH for 10m fly times the spreadsheet you have says 22.37 divided by 10m fly times but in the video its divided by 20.412. Which is the accurate measurement tool?

[noturdaddyblameyomomma]

Wow you packed a lot in those 5 minutes. Thanks for sharing!!

If one starts the program at the age of 12, can he continue this workout during the adult & pro age? What should be done additionally?

Hello, love your content and videos. I’m looking for a middle school sprinting program with some possible relay training/instruction. First time sprint coach here that shares the track with the HS squad. Any recommendations or resources? Thank you

[chrisclark]

Love the content. Do you ever have them do their acceleration or max V work earlier in the session when they are less fatigued from the drilling and plyometrics? I have been experimenting with this to see if they hit higher speeds if we do it right after the movement pattern prep vs end of session.

The one in black-‘n-white dominates the whole field of contestants.

[Leonidas-eubb]

i would also do some multidirectional work (lateral jumps) and rotation/turning.

Great video! What is the rest time between the drills?

[PapaJean]

What are your thoughts on a 4lb weighted vest?

[duranramossr]

Looking for a program I can follow for some football athletes. What can I purchase from you, is there a video series or something I can purchase and would help me come up with a overall speed program for middle school football players?

[sam.hollins]

How often should these be done for a distance runner? Should they be included as part of the warm up?
