@CoachNiklos @Tier1athlete Relaxed is fast always! Trying to break one my kids of the habit of fighting the track former football/wrestler so he’s tight in his shoulders and back when he sprints.

@CoachQ_Butler @Tier1athlete The amount of times I’ve had “PRs” with constrained wickets or relaxed full speed is crazy!

Louie spoke about the pitfalls of continually testing/tracking to avoid high stress and emotional states through training and, As he said, “Yes, you are maxing you, with as little emotion as possible” Same can be said if always “record, rank, and publish”.
Emotional peaks and arousal levels should be controlled and rotated just like any training variable.
It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t track numbers, just use more as monitoring source for decisions.
Record, evaluate, and adjust > record, rank, and publish
Speed & Hurdle Coach@Tier1athlete
Speed development is still sprinting. Don't need to time it. Track coaches are not timing every single sprint. Many say you must record, rank & time. That is false.

@Tier1athlete @CoachNiklos One aspect i noticed when i was timing sprints. Kids were chasin times and if they didn’t hit it they would get down or try and force it next time. Removed the stopwatch focused on executing what we practice; accel tape drill, max v wickets, how to transition etc.Times got faster
English
@CoachNiklos The importance of the mental & how athletes view & see things is critical. So many forget the emotional piece to

@MikeCunningham Chase execution not times. Data is always good to have but imo execution of your race and mechanics win when it matters.

@Tier1athlete Practice this week was 3x split 250’s, 4x70m fly float flys, 4x35m blocks.
Mix in 120,150,50,180 or 3x2x80’s, broken 3’s
Depending on what i need to see or what we are working on.

@CoachQ_Butler So you don't time fly 30 or at times 30m Block Starts or 70-100 on 120m Flys?

Sprinting without timing it isn’t Sprinting.

@Tier1athlete Got all my data in the fall then early season flys, 200 TT, 300 TY etc prior to the season. Got my flys for the football guys after that. Since then we race model(100/200) style workouts, focus on mechanics, fly, float, flys etc. Practices are competitive so no room to “slack”.
English
@spikesonly @Tier1athlete Yes full program is in excel along with fall time trials and percentages.

@CoachQ_Butler @Tier1athlete Are you writing workouts and tracking other variables?

Of course your club coach is going to tell you how amazing you are, how your HS coach is hating on you and how they can “get you to the next level”. You keep paying them thousands of dollars every year to be on their team…

@Ijump_Ags @MikeBasic2 I did overspeed in HS 2007-2011 with a bungee. I think a 1080 is 100x safer. I almost died on that bungee multiple times getting tripped up doing overspeed
English
@MikeBasic2 When I’m referring to 1080- I’m referring to overspeed specifically
English
It’s a lot of coaches making it about them and their resume rather than the kids.
Outside of doping- shouldn’t No high school kid be using a 1080 machine if you care about their longevity!!!
O. 10/31 👑@UmeniynoraDaII
All these anti doping bans wasn’t that huge back when I was in high school. Like high schoolers were not doping back then to get faster. It was natural talent and working hard at practice.

@CoachDolphus @PaetowXC_TF I’ve been trying to figure out a theme to do for ours i just can’t put anything together
English
@CoachQ_Butler @PaetowXC_TF Thanks coach! We all already dreading trying to top this years theme.
English
Been digging through Paetow’s all-time lists. This season, athletes have climbed into the top 10 in program history across multiple events, even a couple school records. Been a nice way to highlight more than school records. A lot of new faces making their mark on @PaetowXC_TF
