Meet the NFL training guru who makes the fastest prospects in the league even faster | Let's Talk Sports Biz

Meet Tony Villani — the guy who made your favorite NFL player so much better.

Think about some of the fastest players you’ve seen in the NFL. Think about all the most skilled guys you’ve ever seen.

Have you ever wondered how they got to be that good?

Of course, some of it comes naturally. These are the best athletes in the world with generational skills. But if everybody who touches that grass is an elite athlete, what sets the best of the best apart from others?

Tony Villani knows.

He’s the founder of XPE Sports — a training facility where some of the best names in the game have come to get better over the last 22 years. Travis Kelce, Tariq Woolen, Anquan Boldin, Mark Ingram and so many more have come through those doors.

It’s all because of Villani’s speed program. He knows how to make the fastest athletes in the world even faster. The key to it all is his ShredMill — a one-of-a-kind training treadmill developed by Villani himself to help him train speed.

We went down to Villani’s facility in Florida to figure out how it all works and how a regular guy like him can make the fastest athletes in the world even faster.
