@GregBerge Yes I hate when I hear this. People say “My”without even realizing the impact of their ewords.

@Tier1athlete Well said…key word capacity!

[Coach Phil Long @CHS_JagsTrack]

@KingRedrick And he’s a solid guy as well!

[Speed & Hurdle Coach @Tier1athlete]

Developing athletes need to focus more on stride frequency & posture then trying to improve stride length.

Stride length will improve with more force into the ground by a result of the athlete becoming stronger & applying force properly into the ground.

[Coach Phil Long @CHS_JagsTrack]

@TexasTrackDad You just said it.

[Coach Phil Long @CHS_JagsTrack]

@MikeCunningham Not all at Coach!

[Coach Phil Long @CHS_JagsTrack]

@MikeCunningham Agreed!

@coachcp5 It’s the fear of failure society!

[Coach Phil Long @CHS_JagsTrack]

@I_Coach_Speed Let me say that this is an awesome thread. This topic is not talked about much in Track and Field. As a result there's a lot of confusion between team success and individual success. Both can coexist which ultimate allows the individual and team to grow. The two need each other!

When you've got the previous 20 weeks right....rest becomes the main training stimulus....

Atleast in my world 😉

@ChrisParno HS kids are doing this now and still cant clear the blocks correctly.

[Coach Phil Long @CHS_JagsTrack]

@Tier1athlete Correct!!!

[Speed & Hurdle Coach @Tier1athlete]

We are in an oversaturated market for sports coaching data collection. We are getting away from the art of coaching.

I feel that those who overly collect data on everything are simply filling their ego & justifying things to themselves to validate their value as a coach.

[Coach Phil Long @CHS_JagsTrack]

@CoachDJBrock Coach but we need endurance!!!!!!!

[Coach Phil Long @CHS_JagsTrack]

@DavidBurnett02 500m time trial? I would love to know why 500m?

Embrace the boring! ✨

I was feeling bored during my Olympic training and asked how to get the fun back! My sports psychologist said "Work can be boring, embrace it and do it anyways." So I did, and learned to love the mundane as a sign of progress.

What ‘boring’ work do you embrace to grow?
