I am doing a survey on the SPRINTING culture.
I am compiling the results for a statistics chart.
The questions are as follows:
Why did you decide to become a sprinter?
What drives a sprinter in his/her quest to become the best?
What are the hurdles you had to overcome ?
How does politics play into the sprinters world from a national and international perspective?
What makes a great sprinter?
What separates them from the rest?
Are sprinters born or made?
Can you teach speed?
Thanks in advance
I'm not sure if you're looking for elite/pro sprinters or any sprinter (either way they might be hard to find on this message board- try elitetrack.com), but here are the answers of a non-elite who still sprints.
