hey what's up everyone! Morey Croson here and today we're going to be
going over what happened to sha'carri richardson from the olympic trials to
the prefontaine classic and we're going to start the video right now
all right and before i get too much into this i do want to start off by saying and really give
me a big congratulations to elaine thompson herah i think that her you know been running the second
fastest time ever as a woman and even some saying that this is you know officially the fastest time
just because of the you know scrutiny that flow joe and her 1049 performance and whether or not
she was using performance-enhancing drugs in order to make it so she got that so by elaine
thomas herah running that time 51 today it really solidifies her as you know if not the best printer
you know definitely top two best printers of all time and perhaps maybe having the best official
sprinting time ever so huge congratulations to her i do want to go we're going to take a
look here at sha'carr richardson we have her and she's in lane five and really both of these here
uh and let's go ahead and get into the start so you know she's really typically not a great
starter overall right she has she's never really been known to have a tremendous start here and
just like normal she she did kind of start off with you know not getting into a great starting
position i don't know over the last few weeks she's really been concentrating a lot on trying to
improve your start i will say you know typically she seems to have a little bit more uh lateral
movement at the beginning you know typically when we watch her go if we look at that second step
before she was going a little bit more out to the side and just was a little bit more lateral
overall um and how she was getting started there where now it looked like she was just a little
bit more kind of straightforward you know really tried to maybe correct some of that but the bigger
thing is going to be you know her transition to top speed and it just looks like she got
you know really into her top speed a lot earlier into the race where here you can see she stays
in her drive face for a good amount of time and then once she gets into her top end speed and
that's what what is so surprising here is you know she just really was able to separate before when
it comes to your her ability to get to her top end speed you know was really able to run away
from everybody you know like nobody was even close when when we look at this number
here and really break it down we'll see her foot's hitting the ground at about 364 on the right side
that might be even early and then she's off yeah i mean she's off a little bit after point so we'll
save seven two right so she was at like that 0.08 contact time which we've been talking about before
in comparison to you know let's see where she's at here and that's what's so different this she just
totally got left behind so it's like what ended up happening that really created this difference
0.78 and yeah i mean she was off by like 0.87 right so she's probably at about a .09 could
even be less though could even be 0.08 you know it's still about the same at least on
the right side let's take a look at the left see if there's any big differences there eight
four here it looks like on the on the um or with the left side and in a similar spot so
she's off at probably about nine two you know she's still here it's nine one at the bottom
she does look like she's landing a little bit more on the outside part of her foot here say nine six
yeah and i mean she looks like she's back off at about .04 so you know it doesn't look like there's
a huge difference between her foot contact time so that doesn't end up being the big thing here
we'll look to see time's been off the ground so we said 92 here and back underneath at about two four
in comparison to about 06 here and touching back down about three eight let's say so that's a point
three two it does look like she's kind of coming up a little bit different in her yeah point three
two from before as well it does look like as she's she's transitioning up she is she might change up
her mechanics a little bit in that her leg drives a little bit different here before she was able to
to bring her her leg all the way up and then drive the knee through it look like now you can see how
as she's pushing off she's really bringing that heel right up to her butt and then coming right
through the the run where it looks like now she's going and really just not getting that same range
and extension right so as she's pulling back here look how when she pushes or pulls back
she's a little bit tighter in that hamstring right so you can see how early she starts that pull back
on that right side right where here she's able to get that heel a little bit closer to her
butt right she has a little bit better range of motion through the quad it looks like we're here
that foot looks to be a little bit lower and then when she lands on the right side yeah she still
seems like she's pretty straight there might be a little bit of a difference between her overall
ankle stability you know it's hard to tell for sure but it looks like the ankle stability is a
little bit off here on the right she doesn't land as good when she's hitting the ground
she's going a little bit more into like knee bending and and losing some of the control of her
ankle it looks like right because she's collapsing in a little bit more and allowing that knee to
bend where before she was able to stay a lot more upright as you sit in the ground see how her leg
when she's hitting just seems more upright here or more straight here in comparison to
here where there's a little bit more of a bend that's going on so
you know a couple things that kind of stood out in terms of you know that it looks like from a number
perspective though in terms of contact time uh and transition time that she's pretty close there but
you know the big thing would be you know really going down into the steps all right so it looks
like the big thing is the steps here so at 51 this would be your 51st step in in comparison to
the 52nd step in her you know race in the olympic trials where this is her 51st step here
and then 52nd and then so she added about another probably full step on her actual running and
typically you know when it comes to your overall turnover speed so for an additional step right
we go into the contact time which we already said is 0.08 and then we also go into the transition
time which is 0.32 right so that adds an additional 0.4 seconds which times out pretty well
because here she was wearing a 10 i want to say it was an 87 ended up being the time here um and
then she ended up running i want to say 11 12 here on this one um and so a little bit under
you know like this would make it so it'd be closer to like a pure 11-2 but you know definitely adds a
significant amount of time when you add more steps so she tried to make it quicker step step overall
and that ended up adding more time because once you can get you know all the way through
and you know closer to 51 steps that's obviously going to be much more effective in terms of you
know being able to pick up the necessary distance and still maintain that great turnover where she
kind of wasted that time and ability to get down the track as fast by you know maybe quickening up
that step or making issues she wasn't picking up as much distance so she got closer to like 52
and a half steps where before she was at about 51 and a half so all right as always guys thanks for
watching these videos if you like the information go ahead and click that thumbs up subscribe the
channel if you haven't already questions comments or recommendations you can leave those down below
we always want to provide great information for you guys to understand how you could run faster
what are some of the key techniques in order to do so not only for the 100 meter but also for
really any of the track events the 60 to 100 the 200 meter anything that has to do with sprinting
even the 400 meter and then also want to be able to help out with you know baseball athletes
football athletes and the 40 yard dash 60r dash just because if you can really give it a technical
understanding right really look into the steps look into the contact time and look
into the transition time that really gives us the opportunity to make some substantial improvements
from a pure objective standpoint right if we can really break down how much you know how many steps
that you need to take in order to really optimize the race and then you know break that down into
your contact time or the time it's been on the ground and your turnover time that's really going
to be how you optimize your overall speed and the big thing that we do is we actually create
a program that will help you in actually making you improve through our speed breakdown so when
you go and send a video of yourself running we'll look at your start we'll get your drive
we'll get your top end speed and then we'll give you exercises drills things to be able to work on
and really make sure you're able to make a lot of improvements from a sprinting perspective
and understanding what it is that you need to improve within your sprint as well as
understand what are the drills and exercises needed to actually make the change and usually
i break it down into different segments so like at the beginning we'll concentrate more
on the start and then we'll go over the drive phase and then we'll go into the top end speed
really to make sure that you're able to improve in all those areas so if you're interested go
ahead and check out the description down below in order to get started and as always guys thanks for
watching if you have any questions again leave those down below or you can reach out to me
and if you're still watching this and you haven't clicked that thumbs up really appreciate
you do that that really helps us out of time and we'll talk to you soon
