    Some podcasts are basically like a phone call between two people who have never met. Sometimes the interviewer does his homework. I love talking to football coaches, especially those who have researched "Feed the Cats" extensively. 1:55 long.

    I think it's a good time to re-read article on 40 times.

    Replying to @ZachDechant @BrendanThompsn
    I agree . We put a start cone and a finish cone 40 yards apart. Start line is 80cm behind start cone because of the radius of the cone. We do it that way every time for 3.5 years. I have reliable data. Why should other coaches care? They should build their own house.

    Over the past week, 36 Lake Zurich High School students tested positive for COVID-19, and all participants in the school's athletic camps are being instructed to self-quarantine for 14 days from their last possible exposure.

    "Writing helps you to refine your coaching philosophy and articulate your beliefs...Articulation is not just talking: It’s speaking in a way that connects with your athletes. Bad coaches get lost in minutia. Good coaches see things simply and emphasize the critical points." 🎯

    Yesterday I submitted a 3300 word article to , “The 400 is a Sprint”. Of all of my articles I’ve written for Freelap/SimpliFaster, this one, written four years ago (pre-grandchildren), is my favorite.

    I’ve learned two things from this.... 1. Have the DISCIPLINE to take care of yourself. 2. Have the EMPATHY to protect those who are vulnerable. It is the most “American” thing ever that there is debate on these items.

    I’ve noticed the only people talking about strong immune systems beating the pandemic are those who have strong immune systems. 🤔

    We have been getting these athletes out of their comfort zone all summer when it comes to sprinting. We have tested a lot of different curve sprints & angles using added some competition to it – at CCHS baseball Stadium

    Question was asked when do we test our athletes throughout the year.. We don’t really test....we train and track what’s happening. We track speed every week ala . We have trends on lifts based upon cycle performance. There is never a big testing day set forth.

    Maybe Covid will be the disruptor that initiates positive change.

    Speed-based distance running!

    Replying to @wmcraven @RonGriggJr @jmarpdx
    I explain it like this to distance runners… if you want to be a better 10k runner you need to be better at the 5k. How do you get better at the 5k? Be better at the mile. How do you get better at the mile? Be better at the 800, etc…

    Aggressive play from the defensive half backs, defensive linebacker, or the safety man to stop the power sweep? Lombardi called a run pass option to keep them honest.

    Even for the 400, coaches who follow a "Feed the Cats" type approach to training probably echo this Charlie Francis observation: "It is much easier to gain endurance having maximum speed than the other way around."
