hey what's up everyone morey croson here and we have a brand new breakdown for you
today it's gonna be on joseph fahnbulleh and we're gonna have the video right now
all right so as many of you guys know joseph fahnbulleh ended up winning the 2021
200 meter championships and there's a few guys in there including terence laird who really was
a big name that he ended up beating and he's only a freshman so you know i had a new breakdown after
seeing that information obviously uh this is going to be the semifinals here on the left and then
the finals here on the right and big thing that you know you just wanted to compare is the start
we're getting a lot of people to talk about you know his start and you know how he can get a lot
better there and i obviously agree because once he can actually get his start down it's going to be
crazy what he's going to be able to do but we'll look on the right just because that looked like
it was a little bit better of his start in comparison to the left so we're going to go
you know into that kind of initial movement here and to me it looks like what ends up happening
is he's really just not getting too much of a knee drop going on right so if we see terence laird and
how he drops that front knee to be able to create that extension there fahnbulleh a really doesn't
get much of a knee drop and you know just tries to almost create an extension and and doesn't
get too much of a triple extension there in that initial landing and does a little bit better job
in the actual final that he did here in the semifinal and it looks like really just working
on the ankle range motion too we don't get to get as good of an angle here on the right
but just looking at where he's landing with that foot he's really turning that that foot out to
the side a good amount there we're not going to be able to see this step too good because
of that security guard but what really stands out is just a lot of extra movement here in his upper
body right so when you're going through your start you know one you could see that you know
here just staying down a little bit better would be an effective way to be able to maintain
a good start and then also not putting too much extra movement in the action right so by going and
bobbing the head like that all it's doing is just making it so there's more energy that you have
to overcome you want to be able to keep yourself pretty locked in as you're getting started there
and then just obviously maintain a little bit more of a forward position as you're starting you don't
want to end up going and standing up too early and really getting that the heels too high right
one of the things that we talk about in terms of improving your start is low heel recovery and we
could just see here he's just really raising that foot up a lot higher and you know that really ends
up making it so you lose the ability to have an effective start right we can see how the
foot position after push-off ends up being a lot more upwards here which again is just going
to make it so now you're not going to be able to get as much of a or as good of a consistent
reach especially on the start so that's going to be the biggest thing that looks like for him
it's just going to be controlling the posture and making it so he can get a little bit more
of a low heel recovery when he starts um you know arm position looks pretty good hand position looks
pretty good and then yeah just controlling that head you know it really gets a lot going with the
the head movement so being able to isolate that i think will be a big thing as well all right so as
we're going into the hundred meter here the the last hundred we obviously have you know the the
main favorites with laird and maswanganyi out in front pretty well uh you know fahnbulleh is
probably in like fifth place at this point um you know fourth or fifth place as he's coming around
the the curve and you know really the the big question that we were going into because you know
both uh maswanganyi and terence laird you know just kind of cruise in those in the last hundreds
in the the 200 meters where you know fahnbulleh really had to kind of put it on at the end and end
up getting the you know having the fastest time out of the semis coming into it and and that's
what really stands out here is just like how amazing he's able to just catch these guys that
you know really are our olympic level you know top level sprinters and so it's really look into his
ability to really maximize that leg cycle right so he basically does the exact opposite here in his
you know leg cycle where he's doing such a great job of maintaining that extension out in front
and being able to pull and that you know i think just because of his overall size as a human being
he's able to create this pull that creates so much force into the ground right if we're just looking
at you know terence laird and you know joseph on belay and comparing them from a just pure
anthropometric standpoint or like body size standpoint you know you could just tell that
family would be able to generate more force in the ground because it's just a lot bigger guy
now you know what ends up being the case is just how well is he able to maintain a fast
leg cycle and maintain good posture and you can see why he's able to just eat these guys up is
because he's able to really pick up a lot more distance per second you can see like maswanganyi
here is really allowing that foot to get really far back behind him where he's keeping a very
you know fond blaze quick and keeping a very quick leg cycle here and maintaining you know fairly
upright position at the end he started to kind of lean forward as he got ready to you know go
through the finish line but really does a great job of being able to eat these guys up or you
know walk him down just because of how well he's able to reach look at how elite that extension is
of his leg and being able to really get that foot out in front and then has plenty of time to pull
back so this right here is where he's getting all his force into the ground and is able to really
catch these guys is because he's able to have such great frontside mechanics not to say that
like terence laird doesn't have great frontside mechanics but what makes fahnbulleh unique is
he's such a big dude he's only five foot ten so he's not really necessarily super tall but he's
got to be at least one night you know it's kind of hard to find information about him he's got to be
at least 190 195 somewhere in there you know i would wouldn't be surprised if he was even you
know bigger than that but that's really the big thing is that you know compared to a lot of these
printers not like he's um you know overweight or anything like that he's just has a lot more kind
of muscle density to him which is what allows him to generate a lot more force into the ground and
he's just done a great job of being able to you know optimize his body to be able to generate
force in the ground a consistent nature and be able to maintain that over a period of time people
who are a little bit more muscular a lot of times at the end of these races ends up hitting kind of
like a wall and will end up actually getting a negative feedback in terms of how much force
they're able to generate in the ground right they end up kind of not being able to stay consistent
from like a muscle endurance standpoint or even maybe from a heart standpoint cardiovascular
standpoint whatever the case may be ends up at the end of race is kind of getting caught a lot
of times by the smaller guys but he does the exact opposite maintains a great leg cycle man trains
are great posture and is able to finish through with a lot of force and with a really strong run
hearing obviously winning the you know 2021 200 meter puts him in a great position to be able to
potentially represent united states in the olympics which is just absolutely awesome so
um great great 200 meter final here we had a few guys that could potentially win here and you know
the united states is just continuing to get more and more great sprinters you know really excited
for both terence laird and von boulay to you know be able to compete and you know continue to watch
them continue to flourish within you know track and field so as always guys thanks for watching
these breakdowns if you like the information click that thumbs up down below that really
helps us out a ton subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and have any questions comments
recommendations you can go ahead and leave those down below and then big thing that i've just been
pushing is going to be the zoom session just because i think that really helps you guys out
we can go and connect on a zoom it'll just end up being 30 45 minutes and will really give you a
time period to be able to isolate different parts of your mechanics and being able to make sure you
can actually build on you know some of the key things that we want to improve so whether it's
the start whether it's the drive phase whether the top end speed whether it's the view from the back
of you from the side you know just be able to see a wide variety of different parts of your sprint
and then be able to really isolate okay we really need to work on this part of the start this part
of the drive phase this part of the top end speed phase let's do more of these drills let's do more
of these exercises really be able to make sure you have a clear understanding of what it is you
need to do within your sprinting form in order to really make the biggest amount of improvement and
so that's going to be down in the description you know that's going to be you could do just
one time thing if you join our three month program then you're going to get a multitude of those you
can get up to six of them right now in the course of three months where we go ahead and go into the
zoom sessions and then you also get workouts and everything like that um you know another big thing
would be custom programming which you also get the custom programming option you'll get the
zooms as well you'll get two times per month when you do that so you know we have a lot of different
options for you to be able to really make sure you can get the most out of your sprinting experience
and really make sure that you're able to you know correct your form because most of the time guys
that ends up being the biggest thing you know a lot of times that i work with people that you know
come to me and you know work with them one-on-one the big thing ends up being the form you know as
much as we will work on you know good mornings and hamstring curls and you know ankle range of motion
and stability and balance and and hip flexors all the different things hamstring range of
motion lower back range of motion there's a plan of different things we want to work on but all
that applies to sprinting forms pretty technique and it's based around the spring performance
printing technique so we're not going to be doing you know a hamstring mobility exercise just to
do a hamstring mobility exercise we're going to be doing it because we see something within the
sprint that directly applies to why we need to be doing that exercise so everything wants to be
revolving around how we could spread faster and the best and most effective techniques to be able
to make that happen and that's what we do within the programming and that's also what we do within
the one-on-one visit so as always guys thanks for watching if you're still watching right now
haven't clicked that thumbs up highly appreciate if you guys did that and we'll talk to you soon
