Born to Run

? Tick!

On the track and field track of the Kingston Physical Training Center, a tall and strong figure galloped past the track.

Glen Mills pressed the stopwatch in his hand, looked up at Youssé Bot, who was already slowing down at the finish line, and shook his head slightly, "Starting, the start is still slow! This is not 200 meters, nor is it. 400 meters, will not give you too long to react and accelerate, you need to raise the speed as fast as possible in the first few steps!"

In the violent gasp of wheezing, Youssé Bot couldn't help shaking his head, looked at Glenn Mills, and asked helplessly: "Coach, do you think I can make a difference in the 100 meters?" "

"Of course." Glenn Mills looked at Youssé Bot's somewhat suspicious eyes, the expression on his face became much milder, "Your recent progress is obvious."

As he said, he pointed to Daniel Bailey who crossed the finish line with Yousse Bot on the side, "Look at Daniel, after you beat him in the 100 meters, it seems that you have never lost to the opponent again. ."

"Hey, coach, I will be sad if you say that." Daniel Bailey, who was standing on the other side of the track, was also panting, sweating on his forehead, and grinning after hearing what Glenn Mills said. There was a helpless smile.

Looking at Youssé Bot who was one end above him, Daniel Bailey really felt like he was looking at a monster.

After last year's World Championships, he started training with Youssé Bot as a training partner at the Kingston Physical Training Center. At that time, Youssé Bot had just started to run 100 meters.

He was basically the one who won the two in the 100-meter event. At that time, he even made fun of Youssé Bot, saying that with his size, he might not be suitable for the 100-meter event.

But on one day, suddenly, he discovered that Youssé-Bot had outperformed him in the 100-meter event. From that day on, during the training of the two men, he never beat Youssé Bot at a distance of 100 meters.

Even during this period of time, Youssé-Bot’s performance in the 100-meter event is still very unstable. Sometimes it is easy to start at a disadvantage. His oversized body often makes him slow to start. But even so, he sprints at the finish line. A few steps before the line, the opponent will still catch up.

This is still 100 meters, as for 200 meters, let alone.

That is the strength of Youssé Bot, the holder of the Jamaican national men's 200-meter record, and the top 200-meter athlete in the world.

Glenn Mills ignored Daniel Bailey, just looked at Youssef Bot, and said slowly: "The 100-meter project is your choice. Now that you have decided, you don't have to worry about it."

With that, Glenn Mills pointed at Youssé Bot’s legs, paused, and then said: "I remember you said that when you first started in elementary school, you still ran 100 meters, but later because It grows taller and only moved from 100 meters to 200 meters and 400 meters?"

"Yes, my coach when I was in middle school felt that my 200m and 400m results would be better."

Youssé-Beauty nodded. The reason for his practice in track and field is still very interesting.

At that time, he loved cricket and always wanted to be a cricket player. During a school cricket game, his elementary school principal found out that he was running fast.

After that, in order to encourage him to practice sprinting, the principal of his elementary school made an agreement with him to give him a rich lunch if he participates in sprint training.

He was bought by a lunch and started sprinting.

At the beginning, he did practice the men's 100 meters, and his results were good among his peers, but as he grew older, his height soared. After entering the middle school, the coaches felt that he was too tall to fit the 100 meters. Instead, he should have a good performance in the 200 meters and 400 meters.

In fact, the same is true. He won the men's 200m championship in the 2002 World Youth Championship in Jamaica and became Jamaica's rising track and field star.

It’s just that now because he doesn’t want to continue to run 400 meters, he found that he was really behind in the starting point after 100 meters. At the beginning, he and Daniel Bailey’s training was usually because he just started to accelerate. -Bailey has jumped a few steps away.

"You also have a lot of potential on the 100 meters." Glenn Mills is very clear about Yousse Bot's worries, but from his perspective, the progress has been amazing. It's just that Youssé Bot is a young man in his early 20s and a top 200m athlete himself. It is inevitable that he will appear a little impatient and he needs someone to stand behind him and give him a clear goal.

"Yuse, your own question, in fact, I think you should be very clear. Although you are tall enough, your left and right feet are not completely balanced. There is a slight difference, and your scoliosis is running. It will make your running action deformed when it is running." Glenn Mills continued.

Youssé-Bo nodded characteristically, these are his own physical problems. In the first five or six years of the competition, he ran to the back sprint stage, often the whole person's head receded very seriously, and the running was extremely uncoordinated.

"But you have your advantage." Glenn Mills looked at Youssef Bot with blazing eyes, as if looking at a precious piece of art, "I always say that your talent is unmatched, so you Do you know where your talent is?"

Without waiting for Youssé Bot to speak, Glenn Mills said to himself, "That is your height. Many people think that your height restricts your performance in 100 meters or even 60 meters. The height of a 100-meter athlete is best to be between 180-185. But in fact, on the contrary, your height and leg length will become your advantage. You have a body coordination ability that far exceeds your body size. Your stride frequency is very fast. His stride is large enough, and when these are combined, he will make you invincible in sprint events.

What has been the focus of our training these months? Have you ever wondered why you went from being able to beat Daniel Bailey in training until you beat him all the time? "

"It's power!" Youssep-Bot blurted out.

"Yes, it is strong enough. Your body is taller than the average sprinter. If you want to achieve the same starting speed as other people, you need to pay more attention to strength training. In the past few years, you have been in the 200-meter event. The improvement has always been mainly due to the improvement of your strength.

You can imagine yourself from a heavy truck, wanting to outperform those light family cars or even sports cars, what you need is a more powerful engine to accelerate your body. Fast pace, superhuman stride, when your speed increases, no one else will be your opponent. "

The selection of sprinters is all-round, but the talent of Yousseh Boll, Glen Mills has been in the eyes for a long time. An athlete as tall as Youssé Bot can have extraordinary performance in explosive power, physical coordination, stride frequency, etc., then his achievements are bound to be limitless.

In the previous Youssé-Bot ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the biggest problem was insufficient strength. This is not directly related to training, but the result of the natural growth of the human body.

Most people have high physical flexibility and coordination in their teenage years, not to mention professional athletes, but the total muscle strength of the body often enters the best peak state after the age of twenty.

In Glen Mills' eyes, Youssef Bot is now reaching the peak. Since the end of the World Championships, in the past few months, focusing on the further strengthening of strength training, Youssé Bot gave him the feeling that he was growing visible to the naked eye almost every day.

"The new season has begun! Yosé, grasp the rhythm of the start, you will soon be able to give your opponents and everyone a huge surprise!"

"Yes." Youssé-Bot raised his head, and through the sky of the stadium, he seemed to be able to vaguely see the outline of Jamaica's famous Blue Mountains. There was no doubt in his eyes, and some were just self-confidence.

"I will make my start a little better, I am ready to coach, I can participate in the competition, I am getting stronger!"
