Episode Notes

What happens when an entire athletic department decides to prioritize speed, eliminate mindless conditioning, and pursue the disciplined pursuit of less?

In this Feed The Cats Podcast episode, Bill Brindley, Tyler Thielges, and Brent Strickland share why Augusta Christian (Georgia) is becoming the first premier K–12 school to implement Feed The Cats principles across all sports and P.E. classes.

This isn’t just a football change.

This is a complete athletic culture shift.

We discuss:
- Why they’re eliminating traditional conditioning
- The disciplined pursuit of less
- Prioritizing speed in all things
- High performance practice design
- Recording, ranking, and publishing results
- Building buy-in across coaches and staff
- What it takes to implement Feed The Cats school-wide
- The risks, pushback, and long-term vision

This could be the first full-scale K–12 implementation of Feed The Cats principles in the country.

This episode is for athletic directors, head coaches, PE teachers, and school leaders who believe speed is trainable and culture is intentional.
