what's up everyone morey croson here from the performance lab of california and we have a
new breakdown for you today on divine oduduro and it's of the men's 100-meter 2019 Outdoor
Track and Field Championships and really you know there's a couple big things that
that I want to go and do is you know divine and end up winning and I'll go a little bit
into him but I also want to talk about the the overall starting and I guess we can go
with divine start here and just go in-depth into what's going on and let's go from the first step
on you know one of the big things that I've noticed is that you know look at how high
these guys when they land how high their heels are and how much they're on the balls of their
feet and let's see how much time he spends on the ground touches right at one three they're
sixteen one three and I'm just going off with the time-lapse and then he's off so it's 16
one three and then he's off at about sixteen thirty a little bit after 29 so it's about
it's the point seven point one seven contact time okay we'll go 1639 on the second step
16:51 so that's about 0.14 okay and then we're gonna go there 1660 this step all right about
1675 when he's off here this is about 0.15 we'll get this last step here 86 so when he was 16 say
85 then he's off by 1696 so that's 12.1 one all right so point being you know let's let's look
at him being able to really start off low and what he's doing within that start you can see
that he's going pretty side to side the guy on the and the Oregon stuff is really going a lot
side say you ends up coming in second he's doing a lot of movement side to side and he's very very
flat-footed and using a lot of the inside part of his foot in order to generate force their
odor ooh though you can see he's very much on his balls of his feet and really keeping that
really positive Shin angle and you can see how you know especially that fourth step look at how
it goes off to the side a good amount there okay so these first steps all right I guess
that second step goes off the side too that sounds pretty straight but look at that should angle when
it lands and then when he comes out to the side session he was just very very forward right he
does a very good job creating have a very forward spine angle and then this next one pushing off to
the side you could see where you know the leg is going more sideways than his straight ahead in
it nice and so he can land a little bit more on the heel but he's still very much on the ball of
his foot which may be so he's able to push off that leg very quickly again landing here has a
good amount of bend in the knee and is able to and has a very forward Chenango and then we'll
compare that to as he gets into the race now look at where he's landing right and this is
the biggest thing in working with so many guys right and just everybody wants to get faster and
the more that we've been able to get in a detail of the Train and the contact time the fast we've
been able to make people get get really good results the big thing that we work work on is
how you start how you drive you know your your start phase right so that beginning part first
two steps is how I define that a drive phase which is steps 3 through you know it could be
12 to 15 or getting me to 10 depending on the type of athletes and then the top end speed
phase which is the rest of you to run okay and and when you watch the top-end speed phaser what
the big thing that stands out is you just have to have a great ability to be able to drive off the
back leg transfer your leg through extend the leg out and pull your leg underneath you it's
not a very complex thing but look how he lands and I mean he still has a slight bend in the
knee but you can see how the shoot angle is a lot different here when he's landing than what it is
here when he's landing right and all these steps look at how his shin is right look
where his weight is look at how his spine is it's a very different run very different spine and how
he's creating for us and when he is here where it's much more vertical much more upright and
that's the difference between what makes a great sprinter and not a great sprinter there's some
guys that are really good starts you know even closer Coleman he's a really good starting but
you know and he has a really good Drive face but I don't think he optimizes it as much as he can I
think he puts a lot of focus on developing more of his top-end speed fazer and really he needs
to work better on and start and his and his Drive phase in order to make it something he'll be able
to maximize the top-end speed phase if you are dying in your top-end speed phase not because you
don't have enough endurance it because you're not starting correctly you're not you know you don't
go in through your dry phase correctly he hat is really really good there but I still don't think
he he's fully optimized in that part of his run if I think if he started working on that and really
improving there he'd be able to make a big big improvement in his run so I just want to make give
you guys some food for thought here I'd made a video about this on the 40 as well but you know I
think by doing these videos it's a little bit more gets a little bit more attention and I'm really
just trying to help you guys so you know you check out the hundred meter dash we can go into all
these different runners there's a lot of different guys that they run a lot of different really good
times but the big thing that that ended up standing out here with what Devine and his
run was his ability to get out of that that start phase really quickly transitioned into or sorry
start phase and then transition into the drive phase and then from the drive phase be able to get
that great extension leg out in front of them now you know he's just off to the races he's a little
bit in front now but then he starts pulling away and the reason he's pulling away is just because
of his ability to maintain a very very good contact time lanta the balls of feet and you
could just see how calm and cool his his posture is as he's sprinting and that ends up being a
big differentiator when it comes to you know the championship and being able to run a 1086 and and
probably won by a few hundredths of a second right that's what ends up being the difference here guys
this compared to this is a few hundredths of a second and that's just the facts of the reality so
what makes the small differences in the hundreds of a second there's a lot of times people getting
too caught up in going from eleven to one to ten eight rather than how can I get from eleven one to
1105 and really understanding how to do that in a very scientific way you know being able to do this
if you do it with a set of laws and principles that's very different than if you go from here
to here by just some some guesswork so I hope that makes sense I check out some of our programs we
have a big 40-yard program that's going on right now if you guys looking at fast from the forty
sign up for that get started and we'll talk to some watching this video I hope you really enjoyed
it if you did you could subscribe down below that way you get updates on any of the new videos that
we get also if you want to check out some of our other breakdowns for speed and throwing
yeah exercises also jumping mechanics videos a lot of crazy stuff within our channel hope you enjoy
