Sprinting Coach/Athlete: Knowing to much about sprinting can be detrimental!

I am a sprinter who loves the science of sprinting and loves the descriptions of what good technique is. In my quest for knowledge I have learn many new things about this subject, but “paralysis by analysis” has been very detrimental to my performance. I am in school for health and fitness management/exercise science and I want to be a coach or athletic trainer one day and open up my own gym for athletes to come and improve their mechanics and techniques. I want to be an athlete first and and coach second. How can I continue to improve my knowledge on the skill of sprinting as a coach without over-thinking things as an athlete?

keep it simple, stupid

you’ll learn by experience, seriously
