EP17: How to Combine Strength + Speed Training for Maximum Performance with Zac Goodman

In this episode of the Feed the Cats Podcast, I talk with strength and speed coach Zac Goodman about how to properly combine strength training and speed development for maximum performance.

Too many athletes fall into the trap of doing too much—too much volume, too much conditioning, and not enough intent. Zac shares how the most effective programs focus on high intensity, maximum output, and full recovery.

We break down why strength training should mirror speed training principles, and how simplifying your program can actually lead to better results, healthier athletes, and higher performance.

In this episode:

• How to combine strength and speed training effectively
• Why high intensity beats high volume
• The role of rest and recovery in performance
• Common mistakes in the weight room
• How to train athletes to be faster, stronger, and healthier

If you’re a coach or athlete looking to get more out of your training without burning out, this episode will give you a clear framework to follow.
