hey what's up everyone morey croson here and we have a brand new breakdown for you
today it's going to be on the pre fontaine classic and we'll start the video right now
this is the newest edition of the performance reach your individual goals you don't want to
just talk about straight lines we also want to talk about your village be quick
we break down your video let's make you into the quarterback i know you can become
all right so we are going to be breaking down the 100 meter for the both women and men and
by the way sorry for the delay in getting this to you i was out of town this weekend
and you know just didn't end up getting a good time a good situation i felt would be
right to be able to go through a breakdown of such an important race it's such an important
event we had trayvon bromell when we had elaine thompson win both of them looked great
both of them ready to win a world championship i wish i would have done a prediction because i was
going to say i predict that shaquary richardson would end up being in the top three that was to
me where i was gonna be i know there's a lot of people that were thinking that she was gonna get
you know beat again to me you know based off of her 11 27 some of the things that she was
doing from a technical perspective i i thought that she was going to be able to hold her own
and surely enough she did uh so awesome that she went to you know ended up coming in second
i'm super excited to be able to see that but yeah we'll go ahead and hop into it here i'm
gonna start with trayvon bromell because again we just have another example and we're gonna go
let's do i mean it's a little bit after this to be honest let's say nine seven right we're gonna
go five nine seven here when his foot comes off the ground and then down at one six seven right
so that is again just a phenomenal under point two seconds from when his back foot touches the ground
to when it hits the ground right and and we can see christian coleman's in that same area right
and we could also see i mean look at all the top guys fred curley christian coleman trevor mel see
how there's that lateral bend that lateral shift i mean you can see it a lot in christian coleman
where his head is like right over his knee right and that's important being able to understand
how we're using the lateral motion of our body to help get the momentum to get going straight ahead
right because what happens with these guys right trevor bermel especially right three
four five six seven okay so so they're so disciplined with their first seven steps
right where you could see you know somebody like a andre de grasse here right who's just he's still
in the air you know getting he's too far behind at the end of the day right no allials too far behind
that early right because then what happens is that now they're getting to their top speed and yeah
you know noah lyles was able to catch him later on right so you could see where he ends up trying to
to make up ground but at the end of the day right the start was what made this the race that it did
trayvon bromell just gets such a great start and christian coleman was in the race because he also
has such a great start that's what was really the allure of this race was these guys that are
just so great at starting who would be the better guy right who would win this with with their
starts and you can see trayvon bromell just killed it with this start let's see you know some of the
things with his foot contact we're a little bit early here but we're going to say 8-0 just to see
you know and he's already off the ground by 0.9 right so i mean some of these things and look at
how straight he is when he is lacing the ground right so this is what ends up being so important
being able to get that foot through this is where you know when i first started with looking at
speed how to develop speed how can i get faster this is when i was running 16 miles an hour now
i've gotten up to 22 i'm consistently running in like the 20 you know 21 miles an hour on my uh
curved treadmill when it comes to you know when it when i get my free lap it's saying you know
someone like the 22 mile an hour range you know high 22 low 23s right because it's a little bit
different with the curved treadmill in comparison to you know when you do like the free lap timing
system but anyway when i first started this is when i was looking at trayvon brommel when he was
at baylor and it taught me so much about how top speed should be so beautiful and
you know if you've been following these videos and watching these videos you know how big of a
fan i am of trayvon bromell and you know this is the reason why because they're so it's so clean
right you can see him and how he's running comparison to even christian coleman
right where he's christian coleman's a lot more on the outside part of his feet
right his arms are a little bit more all over the place right it's it's a little bit
different of a of a running where where trevor mill is just so clean gets that extension comes
right back underneath you know terms of time spent off of the ground we'll go 0.07
to 0.20 right 0.13 like the timing of all of this is just so perfect it's exactly what we talk about
sub point one with the foot contact time right we're at a .13 time off the ground right so he's
spending less time with his feet on the ground than with his time with his feet off the ground
right so he's floating right point one three seconds off the ground okay less than point one
foot contact time foot on the ground okay cycling the leg so cleanly right
pushes off the ground we'll go 0.226 and then cycles right back through
lands at 6-0 right so he's got 0.34 turnover time which is great right that means he's picking up
a lot of distance per step especially for his height okay we can maybe get that down we've
seen tyson gay who's you know similar height he's down to like .30 right but then that could end up
sacrificing some of the distance that he gets per step so again so clean right and
i like fred curley a lot too in terms of how he's running he's a little bit more bent in the knees
right when he's going through you know noah lyles is another one that has such great clean
for contact i mean he just has unbelievable knee flexion when he's going through so i mean that was
just a loaded field for the men's side now look at the women's right and what stands out to me
with the women's right and and this is something that we just recently talked about is again going
back to the start and how important getting the right fundamentals from the start end up being
right we can see where elaine thompson is within those first three steps okay really really clean
first three steps got a lot of lateral movement right spending very little time on the ground
okay it's basically right in line with shikari richardson even though elaine thompson's
taller right has the same timing maybe maybe shakira's getting her feet down a little bit
sooner okay but but elaine thompson is picking up way more distance per step
okay when we're looking at these two and what happens here is that you can see and this is what
we saw with usain bolt as well is within these first six steps look at how straight the leg is
when their feet are hitting the ground and this is where you know from a mechanical perspective
it almost becomes like um to be honest it becomes a little frustrating because when talking to guys
and going over mechanics with guys you know to continue to see some of the mistakes that end up
being made to me is just like you know i don't fully understand it i don't fully comprehend it
because i see what needs to be done and i guess i can replicate it a little bit easier you know i i
think that the learning curve i guess for me isn't as steep um and maybe it's because i love speed i
love track i love you know being able to work on on the development there but you know i see
a lot of people that have a hard time being able to get into these extension positions early on in
the race right and we could see again i mean all these women are in a really good place with their
their legs maybe a little bit too bent here but overall she's in a good spot still because she's
still leaning forward and i mean i guess her feet are getting a little bit too high right so she's
getting stuck in her drive phase a little bit there and ends up getting caught because of that
right so when you start to get your feet too high too early then as you start to rise up
then you end up having this issue where your your body momentum is just so far forward that you're
not able to land with that foot underneath you as well right you're going to be landing a little bit
further back in your feet so you could see the difference in where elaine thompson is landing
right and and where how well she is with her or how good she is with her foot underneath the hip
okay and those end up being critical right so now we can see her top speed and and the same
type of thing with uh shakira richardson right at the end the day like i still don't love her start
and i still think she can get a lot better with that drive phase and but as she gets to her top
speed right she has a very very clean top speed and this is isn't even one of her better races
to me i think she still has more in the tank here right we've seen her get to her top speed
more effectively and really be able to run away from people and i know this is a more challenging
field right there's some better competitors here but i still think she could do a better
job of being able to stay consistent with her overall mechanics right and be able to finish
through with a better time and and better overall performance okay but you know obviously elaine
thompson here is just absolutely killing it in a lot of ways take a look back here
and you can just see you know like look at how far back she's pulling those those hands right as she
getting to her top speed she gets full extension within her hands full extension within her arms
and maintaining that foot look at where that where her foot's landing and how well she's able to
control that motion so you see how that toe ends up coming up and then she strikes down towards the
ground right there's no reaction in that right she hits the ground boom stabilizes push right back
right back off right that's what we want to get to that's what we want to be able to understand
if we got to be able to you know slow it down a little bit to be able to get that feeling
i say do that right we still want to be able to work top speed we just want to be able to work
at that you know 90 and above right so then we can understand that turnover build that core strength
build that timing within our arms within our legs but we also want to be able to run and have almost
that bounding action where we're landing and able to effectively stabilize and hit right back off
the ground right and this is again where i see you know shakira richardson i almost feel like
she kind of lost it a little bit at the end she's she's getting so much external or rotation in her
body from right to to the right side and so as you can contin continue to work and be able to
re-stabilize the spine and make it so she can get that that same type of motion happening on
the left side then we're going to see some great numbers from her as well you know i still think
that she has a lot more to learn from a mechanical perspective and i'm excited to see how she's going
to continue to develop so yeah as always guys thanks for watching these videos i appreciate it i
am again i'm sorry for the delay here but hopefully the content and the information go
will end up uh you know taking over for that that delay right we'll end up replacing the
the delay um but yeah you know if you like the information click that thumbs up subscribe to
the channel if you have any questions comments or recommendations leave those down below as always
i'd love to hear what you guys think about some of the comments that i made you know i'd love
to be able to talk about some things with in regards to mechanics what you guys think about
you know kerry richardson elaine thompson you know some of the other people that are on both
the women and the men's field you know we had a star studded field on both of those
women's and men's i'm so curious to see how the world championships are going to end up
i mean primarily with elaine thompson and chilean fraser price like that's going to end up being
more of what i'm interested in on the women's side to be honest i want to see how that ends
up going but the men's side there's so many great competitors uh it's going to be great
to see you know who ends up winning that and i'd love to hear what you guys think is going to end
up winning that and then as always if you guys want to check out some of the programs you can
down below in the description i would be happy to help you guys out with your own sprinting
mechanics i think that that is a huge advantage that a lot of you guys can take advantage of
um is is going in and getting breakdowns and getting a coach that could really look
at your mechanics a lot of coaches are going out there and can you know write out spinning
workouts and and work on your blah blah blah but really being able to look at the mechanics
and being able to work on that is something that i think is unique to what we're doing
and you know having a coach to be able to really understand and explain that to you i think it's a
invaluable tool that you could utilize to be able to help you in getting to the next level so again
thanks for watching click to subscribe like the video leave some comments i'll talk to you soon
