USA 4 X 100 relay
hey
just watched the 4 x 100's from Monaco...
what a joke... USA track and field has NO clue on how to put together the relay...
Only country/coaches/system that can take 16 of the best athletes in the world and screw them up..the system needs to step aside.. send the runners to the track by themselves and then it will be done correct.
i have to admit i "presented", along with Dr. Bert Lyle, North Texas... at the 2001 USATF High Performance Relay Conference.........
BUTT (there is that butt that keeps getting in the way) They, meaning the coaches that wanted to be in charge...., (Not Brooks by the way... he tried to get them to listen) they, who already knew more about the "mechanics" than presenters, only "had time" for half the science.. and changed one of the parameters...
that "parameter" is what is "confusing" the athletes natural feel and screwing then up and killing their confidence.. uncertainty = chaos = blame in the wrong place = poor performance by 16 great athletes and human beings that deserve better....
