hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be breaking down abby
steiner and sharika jackson in their 200 meter finals i'm going to start the video right now
this is the newest edition of the performance reach your individual goals you don't want to
talk about straight lines we also want to talk about your delivery quick we break
down your video let's make you into the quarterback i know you can become
okay before we hop into this i just want to say if you like the information click that thumbs up down
below subscribe to the channel if you want to find out more about what we do and how we can help you
as a sprinter go and check out the description down below we do offer a lot of great things in
terms of programs and exercises and breakdowns just like this to be able to help you improve
as a sprinter i want to change it up a little bit and start off with this and see if we get any more
participation with any of that type of stuff so anyway we're going to hop right into the
breakdown we got sharika jackson right here i will say we also have elaine thompson right here
because we'll go and look into that and then we have abby steiner right here we'll start off with
abby steiner i will say that that it looks like she didn't have as good of a start
as she typically does i think she popped up a little bit i know we don't get a great
view from this angle but i just feel like she's really pretty far upright uh in in her act in her
movement pattern right just from like looking at her body uh move because then it almost seems like
here she's like trying to stay down right so this is a common compensation that i see when people
you know feel like they didn't get a great start right or feel like they maybe popped
up too early out of their start then they try to like compensate by bringing themselves back
downwards right we can see all the other women are a lot further into their their drive phase
where she's like now starting to get into her drive phase and i think that ended up being
a bit of a compensation especially because you know we we've seen her in some of the other heats
be further out in front when she first started right so she wasn't in a great position here
especially as she got around uh the turn you know she's probably in fourth or fifth place right
she's not in a great spot uh where we've seen her again out really far in front in these places in
the past okay and then we're going to go look at sharika jackson and i think she had a really good
start what's evident to me is she just generates a ton of horizontal force i mean again we look at
elaine thompson and elaine thompson to me had better start mechanics right so we could see
elaine thompson is really quick she's about to get this third step down right where sherricka
jackson's a little bit weight late and getting that foot down okay and she's still those able
to reach very very quickly so she's later with her steps right but she is creating a great amount of
horizontal force right she's getting that foot out in front and really generated a lot of force back
behind so i think she might be utilizing some of her long legs to her advantage there right
she's five eight okay and so she does a great job of being able to get those hips through
really really early on you know you can see how fast she is at being able to get pretty straight
with her legs right where you could see you know like elaine thompson is still pretty bent during
that foot contact right in comparison to what we're seeing with shariq jackson's getting very
upright very early on with those hips which is really what you want to be doing right so to me
when it comes to the start the the main thing is we want to be able to create horizontal force
right and we want to be able to horizontal force sorry i know you can't probably see that too good
right so horizontal force that's before that's horizontal right there uh and then we also want
to make sure that we are getting our hips up okay so the faster and more effectively we can
create horizontal force and get our hips up the better we're going to be and then from there you
know we also want to be able to be quick in doing that okay so we don't want to end up being really
long with or taking a ton of time as we're doing that or else obviously we're going to get left
behind but if we can create great horizontal force and get our hips up we should be in a good spot
right so we could see that shrinky jackson in this case is in a really really good position
right and and what's awesome about this is i made a video probably about two three months ago when
uh abby steiner won the ncaa's or actually no i think it was just the sec
championship and i compared her to um elaine thompson and everybody was like oh how could
you compare to elaine thompson like that's ridiculous blah blah blah meanwhile now she
at this race had the fastest time in the world uh in 2022 right and then sharika
jackson just passed her up uh with having the new fastest time in the world but point being
is she is actually in competition for this year obviously with uh the elaine thompson
uh shelly ann frazier price like all the tops right like she's a legitimate contender to be
able to potentially win the world championships and or at the very least compete with some of
these long time great women which is going to be super exciting to be able to watch i will say that
in my opinion i would still think that elaine thompson ends up being probably the favorite here
i just feel like she's like nursing something so as long as she can come back from whatever
it is that she's trying to heal from i think she's going to be in a good spot here so i'm
going to go into this point of the race just because i kind of marked that point down
as well as this with sharika jackson okay so what we're going to look to see here is the
landing okay so we'll look at sergey jackson here first you can see i mean she just does a great
job of being able to really reach with those legs right generating great horizontal force
i mean the 200 meter is definitely her race to be able to uh really excel and shows her talents
really really well so she's off the ground here at .70 okay 370 and she touches back on the ground
with the right leg at you know probably a little bit before that point so i actually said 0.06 here
and then she was back off by about 0.16 okay which is pretty effective right from when her foot is
the ground to be able to push right back off the ground being in you know .46 is definitely not bad
and her leg cycle being at .36 is really good especially for her height right i mean we saw it
like with no lyles he was at 0.4 okay so a little bit longer but he's obviously taller and he's off
and he's uh you know it's different when it comes to men and female obviously in their their racing
strategies right uh and she does a great job of being able to even though she has those those
long strides uh being able to still cycle those legs quickly right because 0.36 with how long
of a stride she has is excellent okay we'll go back into the left one too and this is where
we'll actually get into abby steiner's as well and so she's landing at .83 okay 3.83 she's
transitioning off at nine three okay so under the uh 0.93 for contact time she touches back at
0.30 okay so we're again we're at the 0.37 so right around that same time period and then off
again at 0.40 so a lot of great things here what stands out to me though so we again we got .37
okay so this one's going to be closer to 0.47 in terms of the entire leg cycle again really good
numbers there and the amount of time though so we look to see this number right and this number so
she really only spends about or she spends about 0.13 seconds off the ground right so that's going
to be something to be able to kind of look at a little bit more in depth when we look to see
happy center here so we got 7.71 okay when she's coming off the ground
lands at 08 okay that's not bad and then is again back off the ground by one eight
uh really under one eight right we know she's still on the ground here right but she's just
about to get off the ground so it'd probably be closer to like one six would be my guess
right so that'd be a .08 for contact time really really good and her entire leg cycle is in that
same point four seven time period so the thing with uh abby steiner is that she is a little
bit shorter right she is only five six right in comparison to shurika jackson who is five eight
so for sharika jackson to be able to get some of these same numbers is really really impressive
okay let's go back okay so she's at .88 about when she's landing here okay probably a little
bit sooner probably closer to probably eight six right when she's landing and then she's off
you know around that that nine four area okay probably a little bit a lot longer it's hard to
see if she's a hundred percent off the ground right there and then she touches back at three
one okay so similar to what we've been seeing and then we'll just real quick see that she's back off
yeah so she's got just amazing for contact time right so the big thing that stands out with her
is great for contact time but what i like about uh abby steiner is look at how much time that
you're spending off of the ground right points so we talked we talked earlier about you know being
able to look into this right seven one to eight six right so that's point one five seconds off
the ground you know give or take a couple seconds there but that's really really good right a lot of
times we wanted to we aim to be like .12.13 and sometimes even with uh female sprinters we're
getting closer into like that 0.12 range but the fact that she is able to get into closer to 0.15
here it really ended up benefiting her at the end to be able to to allow her to finish okay
and and what's important about that is it didn't have a big impact on her leg cycle right so even
though she is spending a good amount of time off the ground doesn't mean that her leg cycle is
getting into right the like the 0.4 ranges right i mean depending on her height there
could end up being a benefit for there right but like this is a .37 from when the foot hits the
ground to when when it touches or when the foot leaves the ground to when it touches back down
and and again those were a little bit you know on both sides well 0.61 is probably
pretty accurate right there but in terms of when the foot hits the ground like that's 0.94 still
hasn't probably hit the ground yet so you know it might be closer to 0.96 which would be 0.35
so she's cycling the legs a little bit faster than sharika jackson but abby steiner is getting more
distance so she has more height off of the the steps okay so she's doing some either she's really
gifted in ways in terms of her horizontal force and her ability to generate a lot of force in the
ground or she is working a lot on plyometrics being able to do broad jumps maybe single leg
broad jumps depth jumps things like that because plyometrically she is very very very impressive
very impressive that point 0.15 is not easy to be able to spend off the ground right that's that's
the amount of time so when that foot leaves the ground boom until this other foot hits the ground
0.15 seconds that's really really impressive okay so here we got about 0.04 when her left foot's
hitting the ground right and then she doesn't hit the ground right she still hasn't hit the
ground yet okay and that would be at 0.14 but she's about to hit the ground right 0.18 there
okay so it's a little bit after 0.14 again that is very impressive in terms of how much
time she's spending off the ground right we look to see mr richard jackson 0.40
okay and she's hitting the ground at 5'3 right because she is hitting the ground there
okay now she's starting to transition off okay and she's off by 0.63 so you know abby steiner
i think has two things really going for one for contact two time off the ground very impressive
sharika jackson has really two things going for one excellent height and for her height she has
a very very fast turnover rate so she's moving her legs very quickly especially with her height and
that's one of the things that usain bolt had one of the things that was very impressive about him
so yeah again guys if you like the information go ahead and click that thumbs up down below
subscribe to the channel would love to hear who you think is going to win the 200 meter final
as of right now and i'll have to be update this when we get closer to the actual final but as of
right now i'm going to say elaine thompson if it's not elaine thompson based off of health i'm going
to go with abby steiner i think ivy senator can go ahead and pull off the upset just because of some
of the things that we talked about here today and i don't think she had a great start i really think
that she can still improve on her start in some of the positions there i mean if she has a not a good
start sherriga jackson is great out of her start so it might end up being difficult for her but if
abison has a great start i think she could end up doing a very very very great job in her 200 meter
