Muscles and Management is BACK after a two year hiatus. From 2018 to 2022, we produced over 200+ episodes with some of the BEST performance and sports coaches in the WORLD and we are BACK to build even better than ever with even MORE guests!

Host Gerry DeFilippo is bringing back the show with a bang, bringing on Tony Holler of "Feed the Cats," to discuss his approach to building speed for athletes, perspective on his mindset when it comes to speed development and tips for coaches to improve effectiveness of practices and training.

Gerry and Tony discuss a litany of speed related topics including the importance of top speed/max velocity sprinting, Tony's "X-Factor," exercises, making practices more effective for athletic and speed development and MORE.

If you are a coach, athlete or parent looking to learn how you can improve your speed training or sprint results, this episode is a MUST LISTEN!
