hey what's up everyone morey croson here and we have a brand new breakdown for
you today on christian coleman 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 ability quick
we break down your video let's make you into the quarterback i know you can become
all right and in perfect timing we have christian coleman coming back to be able to show that he is
still as much in the race here going for the 100 meter world championship as anybody else i
i really think that you know going into the last like month or month and a half here before we get
you know set up for the world we're going to see some great races a lot of times people that are
that are peaking and christian coleman i think you know at the end the day needed to get a little bit
of that rhythm and timing back we talk a lot about with sprinting there's got to be rhythm there's
got to be timing in order to be able to run fast and so when you're out of the game a little bit
you haven't run some races you know you kind of lose some of that and and we could see here that
he is back and he's really ready to make a big statement as he you know continues through again
the next you know six weeks i think he's just getting started here and what we want to really
want to be able to see and let's see when that back foot comes off the blocks here we got .40
okay and we get the foot back down at six three okay so he's at that two three area this is about
what we saw with ominola as well we saw the lowest so far has been with trayvon bromell which got i
think point one nine right or sub point two or maybe it was just at point two you know right
in that kind of area there it's hard to be able to tell a hundred percent of the video because
the the frames end up going by three tenths of a second a lot of times here so it's hard to
be able to see exactly what we're at but we can see with that foot landing okay it lands at 6 3
off at 8-0 right so 0.17 with that foot contact which is great let's see this one eight seven
off at let's see eight seven play off right there okay which would be about one three
okay down at point one oh there and then off at two four right so he's that point one three
point one four okay and this ends up being really important right the the whole foot contact time
right because what i commonly see and what we really want to be able to do in understanding
the way to be able to generate the most amount of force into the ground and really have
the best start that we possibly can and be able to set us up to be able to run a fast 100 meter
60 meter 60 yard 40 yard whatever the case may be is being able to generate force into the ground
okay and being able to understand that that is our primary source of force production and that's our
primary source of speed is how we hit the ground okay because when we get caught up in pushing off
of the ground right pushing back here then we set ourselves up to not be able to run as fast
okay and so what the best people in the world the best runners in the world are able to do is
they're able to get their feet out in front and be able to pull with their foot back underneath and
then what we wanted to be able to understand and and why i take the time and i continue to say this
is because of how relevant it is okay because what happens is you end up creating different types of
muscle structures right so if somebody is able to get their foot out in front like we could see
christian coleman here right see how well he's able to transition his foot off the ground get
that foot out in front and pull right there and has his leg basically straight he's still bent
over but his legs basically straight let's see how many steps that i think i want to say it's the
fifth step one three five right so in his fifth step he basically has that foot straight or leg
straight as he's landing his foot's actually kind of turned off to the side but his leg is
straight okay and so what that does is it gives him the the opportunity to be able to utilize
the muscles that are be able that are going to be creating hip extension at a one larger capacity
right so he's able to uh use it with more force okay and the other part is going to
be more consistency right number two is more consistency so more often through the race
he's able to utilize the muscles necessary to be able to run fast right and because he also does
it with so much power in it he also is able to generate more of the muscles that will allow him
to create more power he creates more of the neural transmitters right in the brain that
allow him to better connect to those muscles to make it so that he can create more power
right so so when we talk about people having all these genetic gifts and there's definitely
to a degree a hundred percent you know you have to have some some good genetic code right but we've
made a video about this before there is a pretty large population that has the genetics necessary
to be able to run fast right what we don't have is enough people to understand the technique we don't
have enough people that are able to replicate the correct ways of being able to do it right and so
that ends up being the key difference here is he so effectively gets into just i mean with that
right leg how he's striking the ground is just exactly what you want to be doing right pulling
that foot back okay and if we want to see more about how he's doing it right it's here watch that
knee come forward okay knee coming through foot slightly outside the knee okay knee coming forward
and through right so we can see how he pushes off knee coming straight forward and through okay foot
a little bit outside drives back put a little bit outside drives back landing on the inside part of
the foot right landing with the heel up okay not spending a lot of time with his foot back behind
really concentrating on how his foot is striking the ground okay and so a lot of times what you'll
feel right and i went through this as well right you don't feel as much power at first because
you're not used to it okay but then you try to over compensate by pushing with your foot back
behind which creates a bad habit instead you just got to slow down for a little bit and be able to
focus on how can i get better at being able to generate this force and over a period of time
you'll be able to make the adjustments to be able to run faster okay and be able to start better
all right but if you're if you're not patient with it it's not going to end up working
all right and so now when he gets to top speed you know we've talked about this before he's landing
at 3-5 you know gets off the ground in about 0.08 right lands at 0.5 here gets off very quickly
right by about 62 maybe on that right so is that about .07 to .08 in terms of foot contact right
oops don't want that to be a 1. it's a 0.18 0.08 0.07.8 for contact so elite for contact great for
contact really you know in a lot of ways amazing for contact okay what we want to be able to really
see for him for him is probably an improvement of his leg cycle right so we got .04 here
an improvement of his leg cycle and his ability to just spend time off of the ground so he's able
to get more distance per set okay 0.3 is not bad let's get this one six two okay and touches back
down does a great job being able to reach down towards the ground again point three three so he's
having good for contact there now the big question is how much time is he spending off the ground
so he's off here 0.02 and he's back down at about 0.12 right so he's closer to 0.1 okay and what we
see from the best guys is they're closer to 0.12 right maybe even 0.13 okay so they're spending
more time off the ground okay so how does he how is he able to build that ability to be able to
get more time off the ground based off what we're seeing here it's going to end up coming from more
range of motion within the ankle right instead of being so far turned here with so much external
rotation he's able to create a little bit more inner internal rotation of the leg
right he's able to keep that heel up a little bit more effectively so then when he pushes
off he could push off in more of a horizontal pattern he gets a very very vertical push off
okay which a lot of times is great okay with especially when it comes to guys like
usain bolt right when it comes to guys like a joseph ponboulais right it's very good for them to
be able to get a great vertical push off because they use their long legs and their height so they
can create kind of a natural reach with their leg cycle and how much horizontal force that they're
able to generate pretty naturally right because they can get that foot all the way up and through
right and then it helps them being able to push off right what we see with like a
trayvon bromell for instance is we see you know a very straight leg as he's pulling through okay
which then makes it so then he could push off the ground or he contacts the ground with a lot more
backward force in his um in his foot contact right where we see with christian coleman is a
lot more vertical force right we don't see as much horizontal he comes straight down with that foot
right there right and then that allows that foot to get a little bit further back behind him okay
which you know he still ends up creating a lot of vertical force so this is a clear example this is
a great example actually i love this if you guys are watching this really you know buckling your
seatbelts right this is why you're following the performance lab of california we're going to give
you the best details the best information to be able to help you in being able to improve
your sprint click that like button or the thumbs up button and subscribe the channel if you haven't
already so the thing that's happening here is and what we talk about is it's the foot contact right
so even though he's going and getting a [ __ ] a very his foot's getting very far back behind him
which would make you feel like he's getting more of a horizontal action it's not horizontal it's
vertical still because it's about how you hit the ground right so he's hitting the ground with more
vertical force right and then he's trying to be able to make that up by pushing off horizontally
right and because he's pushing up horizontally he's limiting how much time he's spending on the
ground closer to point one where the goal is to be as close to point one three as possible
right that's what romell's getting right that's what we saw with omanyala and i say those two
guys because those two guys are about the same height as christian coleman right oman y'all is
really a very very similar belt so there's no reason why christian coleman shouldn't be able
to create that same type of of production right and spending 0.13 off the ground or even 0.12
okay but instead he's getting he's not spending as much time on the ground so he's having to cycle
his leg he's putting more energy into his sprint right so he's having to take more steps right so
he ends up dying a little bit more at the end right those last 20 meters because everybody
else is starting to be able to really create a lot more distance per step right because now they're
really starting to be able to open up that stride where christian coleman is losing his distance
per step because he's relying more on vertical force as he's sprinting and there you have it
that's where christian coleman needs to be able to improve and that's where christian coleman at
the end of the day is getting you know caught by some of the best guys in the world so if you can
improve on that then it could really make a big difference in his overall performance so as always
if you like the information click that thumbs up subscribe the channel if you want to learn
more about what we do in terms of our programs check the description down below we have some
great things there again it's a focus on technique right how we can get better what are the things
that are going to make the biggest difference and we want to look at the numbers right how
much time you're spending on the ground how are you creating that force into the ground how well
are we able to create a great turnover right what is a great turnover look like how does your
sprinting mechanics based off your your body type right what it is that that you can excel in right
what are things that you struggle at how does that correlate to some of the other top sprinters okay
i mean i did a lot of research into this topic how can i run faster how do i improve my speed
and i failed for a long time right i had a lot of struggles for a long time but what you end up
doing is you end up getting a system that makes sense and a system that works and so you know
if you could either spend a lot of time trying to figure it out on your own right i can i recommend
you watching a bunch of my videos i'll be able to help you and guide you the best that i can
but at the end of the day i think it helps to be able to have a coach to be able to
bounce ideas off of and be able to really see and connect what is it that we need to do
so then we can really focus on what we're trying to improve on which is our technique
our sprinting times and things like that but if you have to spend a lot of time watching youtube
you're just not going to get the same type of results it's not going to happen as quickly
and you know i mean if it ends up happening and you have the time to invest into it by all means
if you want to get there faster check out one of the programs we'll be happy to work
with you and help you out so again thanks for watching and we'll talk to you soon
