“Any kid that can step down with extreme prejudice and get tall can run faster. It’s not a talent issue.”
If you can’t get into the push position… my job is to teach you how to step down with prejudice
If you can, the challenge becomes how long you do it and how quick you do it… I’ll teach you to step down quicker..!
If you’re good enough at that… let me teach you to step down before you step down!!!

DECELERATION.
Kyle Thompson: “You do this, and you instantly feel faster”
“Most people only care about producing force… you need to learn how to yield to force”
Efficient runners lose less energy on
ground contact.having to run on your toes is the biggest street myth
in Track and Field.
(I cannot visually tolerate slack feet!!!)
You want to take out muscle slack.
Make sure your muscles are tensed before ground contact.
You can’t pull on a rope until it’s taut!
Some people are “speed jumpers”.
Some “power jumpers”.“Power jumpers are just poor speed jumpers!” Frans Bosch
Jogging is a situation where there is a lot of muscle slack.And most people have bad posture when they’re jogging!
Good posture = Less muscle slack
Stretch-shortening cycle (SSC).
by pre-stretching our muscles and tissues, we can apply bigger forces.
This is why just producing force is not enough!!
