Question: How cam one increase their psychological energy?

Performing efficient sprint mechanics while under fatigue?

This could be something we’re missing in our overall training program.

"Legendary speed coach Charlie Francis used to cringe every time he watched Bailey “goose step” down the track, the sprinter’s style was that awkward. Pfaff overhauled Bailey’s stride, turning a disgruntled 10.40 sprinter into an Olympic champion and world-record holder. "

What did Pfaff do to correct Bailey’s stride?

If I remember right I think Donovan biggest fault was that he wasn’t picking up his feet stepping over the support knee.

Any old footage of Bailey duruing his 10.4 days out there compared to his 9.84 post?

$50,000 what an investment… $50,000 turns into $1.5 Million in 7 years… Not bad :smiley:
