How Feed the Cats and Triple Option Football Academy are the Same Winning Mindset
Most coaches grind their athletes into the ground. They believe more is always better. Long practices, endless conditioning, wasted reps. The result? Tired, injured, and uninspired athletes.
That’s where Tony Holler’s Feed the Cats in track and field—and my system at Triple Option Football Academy—are different. Both reject the grind and focus only on what wins.
⸻
Feed the Cats (Tony Holler)
• Speed is the priority.
• Less is more: short, high-quality practices.
• Record, rank, and publish results to build culture.
• Athletes stay fresh and explosive for competition.
• “Tired is the enemy.”
⸻
Triple Option Football Academy (Dr. Lou Cella)
• Execution is the priority.
• Install the Army–Air Force Flexbone core in 3 weeks.
• Get 1,200 live plays in camp so reps actually matter.
• Every player contributes. No wasted roles.
• “Don’t get cute. Get under center and run the ball.”
⸻
The Shared DNA
• Efficiency over volume – Stop wasting time.
• Counter-culture – Reject what the mainstream sells.
• Fast results – Athletes PR faster. Teams win faster.
• Culture first – Competition and clarity drive buy-in.
⸻
The Takeaway for Football Coaches
If Feed the Cats is how track athletes dominate with speed, then Triple Option Football Academy is how football programs dominate with execution.
We build winners fast. We keep things simple. We reject wasted motion.
