hey what's up everyone morey croson here and we have a brand new breakdown
for you today on erriyon knighton and we're gonna have the video right now
all right so we recently got this recommendation to do the breakdown on erriyon knighton i thought
it would be a great idea just because he has a very unique body type he's six foot three 175
pounds he's also 17 years old i want to say could be 18 years old he's right here in this i want to
say it's like adidas invitational looks like um and before we have in the video if you like
the information go ahead and click that thumbs up down below subscribe to the channel if you haven't
already questions comments recommendations go ahead and leave those down below we're gonna hop
into the breakdown here so first thing that ends up happening and and you know i think this is a
common thing i want to say when when usain bolt was first starting off you know we had some some
things that he needed to work on with his start and kind of drive phase i would say the same type
of thing here with arion and what he's doing um you know not bad with the initial start position
but he ends up getting himself pretty low here for a second right he ends up looking like he kind of
takes like a bit of a stumble right there in his overall body position and then from there
ends up getting kind of stuck in extension you know like right here that that step you really
want to do a great job being able to push off and immediately when that foot's coming off the ground
drive that foot forward you can see he ends up getting it stuck back behind them uh in comparison
like you yohan um blake there when he pushes off see how he drives that foot right forward
and through so a bit of a difference there maybe some inexperience you know it was definitely a big
big moment he ended up still running a 999 here so you know it still has a leak track speed
obviously due the drive phase is going to be something he's going to want to work on he ends
up you know getting pretty low here especially for his height and then ends up really having to
rise up really early as well so his drive face is definitely something he could work on and
and improve um and then as he's getting to his top end speed you know he really relies a lot on on
his extension and push back he has a great range of motion through his leg through that lower back
and really has a beautiful cycle of bringing the leg through might be getting the heel a tiny bit
high but you know obviously he's still being able to cycle the leg through in a very high level way
um which is great now once he gets to his top speed he's a little behind
but ends up catching all these guys that are you know olympic level sprinters so at a very young
age right 17 years old 18 years old being able to do that is really amazing um let's go we're going
to go ahead and take a look at his for contact time 1925's when he hits the ground right here
and he's off the ground probably like 1932 looks like ish maybe 1933 right so he's done apparently
0.08 i would say would be a better estimation there about .08 um foot contact time overall which
is super elite 1933 to 1968 it's how much time you spent off the ground which is 0.35 again excellent
excellent in both of those really quick on the ground it seems like he has really an elite level
of stabilization within the feet which is awesome especially for somebody his height i see a lot of
people that are you know it really even six two anybody six two and up really have a hard time
in getting their foot contact even down into point one area and or below point one area um
and so to be able to get his his foot contact below point one is excellent he's gonna definitely
want to work on his stride to me you could see as he gets to his top end speed he doesn't have
that really great knee bend or or knee height position right so he really is relying a lot on
the extension of his body he's relying a lot on the hamstrings and the length of the hamstrings
and so you know he's going to need to get a little bit stronger in my opinion in order to be able to
get down into those nine six nine seven area um in order to do that you know there's some people
that might end up squatting a good amount which is going to end up shortening the hamstring you know
he's going to want to be able to maintain that really elite level length of the hamstring and
also develop the hip flexor and the core muscles so you know to me the nordic hamstring curl you
just can't you know go wrong with that uh as well as like dead lifts good mornings things that are
going to keep that great range of motion through his lower back and through the hamstrings going
to be critical um just because you know he could set himself up to having some some overuse by in
this running position right he's really relying a lot on hamstring strength and lower back strength
uh in in this spot and and just by getting stuck in that extension spot might end up having some
lower back soreness over a period of time so in order to counteract that he's just going
to need to get a little bit more range of motion through the hamstrings which is going to require
you know him being able to keep that foot up you know and extend or that knee up as he's
going through extension right so you can just see how as he brings that foot through he immediately
has to kind of drop that leg down and i know this just because i have this issue that that ends up
really that's a good way of knowing you have a lot of tightness within that hamstring right
and then that foot ends up turning off to the side slightly so it just you know is a reliance on a
certain part of the hamstring so there's a lot of information that obviously goes through this right
side's probably a little bit better at being able to get extension yeah extension through and then a
good pull down there looks like he could also get a little bit more dorsiflexion these are all small
things guys that really make a big difference right if you could just make it so you hit your
foot with a little bit more dorsiflexion or you know i'm able to create a little bit more of
a knee extension out in front of you and hip flexion out in front of you you can pick up you
know an extra 0.1 maybe 0.2 meters per step right or can end up turning your legs over you know 0.01
or 0.02 seconds faster and these all make a huge difference when it comes to these elite level
times right when you could do you know like let's say you took you got an extra 0.2 meters per step
you know that could end up being three tenths of a second that you should stay off your time so now
from he goes from a nine nine to a nine six times obviously that's not something that he's going
to be able to do overnight that's going to take a lot of work to be able to make that type of change
but if you can make that type of change then the results are going to be very very favorable and
also he kind of stumbled out of the start right he still has to work on his drive phase or he
can work on his drive base so it's still not a perfect great setting it's still not super clean
and i do think he has a lot of area to improve and this is where you know for me personally i think
that it's super important to understand that i i mean it's obviously going to be difficult to break
usain bolt's record but i do think it is a possibility for somebody to do it i don't know
if it's going to happen this year's olympics but i do think it could happen in the next 10 you know
20 years so um or maybe even sooner who knows but i do think that is a definitely a breakable thing
we just have to be able to you know really have a great race and be able to work on the stride and
before i sign off here i do want to say that you know i made a couple different assumptions here
about you know erriyon i don't really i've never worked with him i don't know his background so
you know the things that i was saying about his hip flexor hip flexion and being able
to develop that in the lower back and the core that's just me going off of what i'm watching
in in the run i will will say he probably does you know suffer from some stiffness and some
tightness in the lower back and also has really stiff hamstrings but again with switch printer
doesn't have really stiff hamstrings but it does look like it's a little bit more left side in
comparison to the right side so you do have to build up your adductor muscles when it comes
to things like that but you know this is where you want to be able to have a relationship with
people and this is where i take it very seriously with the program is you know i i don't want to
just have a program that you could just buy and we don't have communication and you know it's just a
um you know source of income that i'm not attached to right i feel a lot of obligation for everybody
that is in my programs that i work with to be able to give them coaching to be able to help them in
improving their sprint that's what i think my gift is is to really provide these breakdowns and the
feedback and the information and from there be able to give you the drills and i change it based
off of what we need to work on you know if i want to need to see your start i need to see your drive
face i need to see your top end speed face uh how i teach is in coach is going to be maybe a little
bit different i don't really know um i didn't have a track coach right i just was i just had to
figure this out and make it so i could get myself to run faster so um comparing myself looking to
at all these top sprinters and having to build up my own muscles makes it so i can understand
and have my own way of actually helping you so um again it's not going to be something that you just
go and pay some money for and have somebody that's detached to i want to be part of your
process i want to be able to communicate with you i want to be able to talk to you and that's why
i charge the price that i charge it's not to me it's a great price right to me i'm
probably undervaluing what my time is uh because i think it is very important to
value your time and you know for for me i put a high value on where i put my time and
right now i would love to be able to work with more sprinters so that's why i make it to me a
very affordable price for all the time that i get you because i want to have as many people
as i can be able to run sub 10 right 10 sub 10 5 getting to the 11's you know more people that can
join a program and see a lot of great results in a very short amount of time is going to only help
out the reform side of what we're trying to do so i really hope that you decide to take action
if you've been on the fencer a little bit or you know not really 100 sure if this is going to be
a great option i can tell you that i'm going to over deliver for you and really make sure that you
get a lot out of the program if you decide to do it check the description down below and like the
video if it makes a big difference here if you're still watching the video guys click that thumbs
up that really helps us out a ton subscribe the channel if you're interested and ready to
go with the program the links are all down below thanks for watching and we'll talk to you soon
