✅ Using a 'Long Jump Coach's Library' to target Hurdle Speed Qualities
Thanks to @alex_natera for setting this up!
My personal board of trustees:

I won’t have time to read all the theories about tonight’s outcome. It’s also not really important because it was win or lose.
But here is what I know: Femke tried everything to run faster than ever to stand a chance to win gold.
Just the pace was too fast for her profile 24.04 at 200m / Sydney 23.84!). Therefore she didn’t run relaxed and economical enough. So she went out of fuel on the last 120m
But Sydney was just too strong tonight and by risking everything, Femke exposed herself and lost silver.
This is how competition works. If she would have race for second, she wouldn’t have been happy either.
Incredibly proud of her giving it all. How many athletes would have give the mixed relay a go in her position (remember that she produced an amazing 47.93 to win gold)?
So, no she didn’t have too many races before this final, she just tried everything to win and an amazing athlete was just better than her. And this strategy brings her bronze.
Thanks to all the fans in the stands. The stadium was mainly orange tonight. And this is because of Femke’s personality and her love for competing.
Big congrats to Sydney for continuously setting new standards and pushing us on the road to excellence.
Huge performance for Anna Cockrell becoming the 4th athlete in history running sub52.
In this model, the rate limiting step towards a trainee’s potential (& wellness) is in fact INEFFICIENCY.
The best part, though, is these 3 legs are not in competition.
Rather, they support one another in positive feedback fashion, leading to virtuous cycles of growth.

Mongolia's Olympic uniforms are lovely. But what's up with the wording on this tweet? Is the insinuation that we don't do the same? Let's talk about how the USA Olympics uniform connects to our heritage, culture, and history. 🧵
Who let the doggs out?!
@SnoopDogg and @LylesNoah arrive in style to Day 3 of the U.S. Olympic Trials. Lyles looks to qualify for Paris in the 100m later this evening.
