- What is the Feed the Cats program? (4:45)
- Why it took courage to do something differently (7:10)
- How he fills practice time with so few reps (11:30)
- How often athletes should be training at top speed (14:35)
- Record, record and publish (18:05)
- Never crush the physical or emotional soul of athletes (22:10)
- Micro-dose training (25:35)
- How does this impact injuries? (32:00)
