On this episode of Sprint-Based Football, Tony Holler sits down with Nick Micetich, the dynamic strength and conditioning coach at Minooka High School. At just 27, Nick has already redefined what high school athletic development looks like—blending science, sprint-based philosophy, and hands-on coaching into a results-driven system.

The conversation dives deep into the integration of Reflexive Performance Reset (RPR), data-driven training, and injury prevention strategies that have helped drastically reduce athlete injuries. Nick shares how Minooka's strength program evolved into a school-wide curriculum and why multi-sport participation remains a key to long-term athletic success.

From innovative tools like the Shredmill and the Goat Drill to insights on building buy-in, fostering culture, and leveraging social media, this episode is a must-listen for coaches aiming to future-proof their programs. Discover how Nick and his team are not just producing faster athletes—they’re shaping smarter, more resilient ones.
