Imagine FA CUP final.. half time. 4 or 5 GB sprinters vs 4 or 5 of fastest footballers. Length of pitch. Bring a big sponsor on board example 2 mil £ from pepsi. Each competitor gets £100k + it’s a win win & showcases our talent. Our sport needs more respect + money + promotion

Making sure someone “feels good” is an underrated aspect of prepping for a game. Not always about peak jump height or bar velocity - no aches and pains and just plain feeling good is well… a good thing

“Sprinting is a skill and at the neuromuscular level it involves some of the most highly synchronized and dynamic forms of muscle activity found in sport” James Smith Applied Sprint Training

As coaches, we need to start celebrating greater efforts in #recovery with the same enthusiasm that we celebrate greater effort in training.

Learning to trust your gut is half the battle. Not talking yourself out of your decision is the second half.

@sprintcoachSWE Today we did 20x50m in 20 minutes. Good session 👌🏼

Large volumes (1000-1200m) of alactic anaerobic capacity (60-80m with incomplete recovery) has for many years been a staple in our program at this time of the year

Preparation isn’t just about the teaching part of coaching in what will be done and how but the selling part of engaging learners from the start to be actively involved physically and mentally and at the end leaving them excited and hungry to learn more

@sprintcoachSWE I've already done this exercice but I pushed the hips harder and harder till the athlete collapse (about 6sec), only one time each side before a speed session. Good activation of the posterior chain 👌🏼

No comments needed😂

Schweizer U23-Rekord! An der Nachwuchs-SM in #Nottwil verbessert William Reais mit 10,20 Sekunden seine eigene nationale Bestmarke über 100 m um 2 Hundertstel! @UBSathletics @EuroAthletics @WorldAthletics @srfsport @RTSsport @RSIsport

Rest & recovery is necessary but only of benefit if you first do the work. I am fearful that today we have a generation of over-recovered and undertrained athletes so overly mindful of training load that they are not doing enough to stimulate adaptation and prevent injury.

The coach’s purpose is not about giving ownership of development and performance to the athlete: It is to lead the process for the athlete to take ownership

Personality is how you respond on a typical day. Character is how you show up on your worst day. It's easy to demonstrate fairness, integrity, and generosity when things are going well. The real question is whether you stand by those values when the deck is stacked against you.

As a coach you must create an effective tension for your athlete’s development. It’s like getting the high wire tension right for the artiste. The tension is created between support and challenge. Too much of either compromises progress. Effective tension is about judgement

@LaurentMeuwly @ajletta Ha ouais merci pour la précision 😂 encore bravo !!!

@ManciniPascal2 @ajletta C’était Chiba en fait 😅 J’ai dit tu fais 70m vite puis te relâche jusque dans la ligne droite et tu remets une couche. Comme à Chiba sur 150m (notre lieu de pré camp pour Tokyo). Les murs ont des oreilles 😂

Well I have to consider myself like an almost complete sprinter now I guess… big up to @LaurentMeuwly. When I asked him in panic “How do we run a 200m?!”, he answered “Fast”. Gotcha!

@guy_ontanon Avec une course légérement mieux que ses 10.08 (+0.1) de 2019. Mais bon l'analyse de la nouvelle vidéo semble mettre fin au débat.

@ManciniPascal2 Avec les conditions que tu décris tout au mieux moins de 10.20

9.84 c'est de la précision Suisse? Comment Alex Wilson lui même peut croire en cette performance sortie de nulle part? çà reste très étrange!!!

@sprintcoachSWE @MuscleLabSystem No more cords ? So what is that ? (Just joking 😂)

MuscleLab & DynaSpeed now operates by Wi-Fi. No more cords, thanks @MuscleLabSystem 👏👏

@ddzmed @guy_ontanon @ATHLE_ch @LaurentMeuwly Ouais la nouvelle vidéo ne laisse pas place au doute. Son vrai chrono était de ~10.3, avec un faux départ semble-t-il 🤣 Une vidéo du 200m serait utile 👌🏼

@ManciniPascal2 @guy_ontanon Voir le tweet de @ATHLE_ch et la nouvelle vidéo du 100m avec les calculs de @LaurentMeuwly ce qui devrait calmer les esprits...Quid du 200m alors?

Ok… now we are getting closer to the reality… This is a video of the « 9.84 » race. I am not judging the reaction time… I take the first movement -0.12 and I get… ca. 10.3!! If I assume the 2nd of the race had really 11.09 then Alex ran 10.3 at the best!
