…Besides the fact that MJ had an ulterior motive for making the documentary…
My guess is that Glen Mills did not want anything to do with the documentary probably because he feels that it’s premature. Usain has not yet accomplished all the goals that Mills has laid out for him.
He deserves disrespect because he continually disrespects the achievements of other athletes. That video was nothing but a way for MJ to try to stay relevant.
No offense, but I doubt anybody on these boards can tie MJ’s shoelaces.
He is also qualified to criticize, if he deems something isn’t right. His facility, resume & knowledge are second to none. If I had the opportunity & lived in the locality of Dallas, I would work under MJ at his performance center at the drop of a hat.
Calm the hate. MJ has done so much for athletics in general.
shit eh, 2003 he was already passing the 100 line on bend in 10.5x on his way to 20.25. This would put him at least at 10.2x on the straight. 43 strides to 100m on bend and 81 to 200m in this race. Then the year later the 19.93 at 17. I’d guess based on the 20.25 race split distribution the previous year that he progressed to 10.3x around the bend at the 19.93 run. So basically a 10.0x athlete on the straight at 17… That view of that 19.93 from the stands really shows his elastic strength gift.
Technically it was a poor documentary. However, it was good to get an insight about Bolt for us enthusiasts, athletes or coaches.
Why was it poorly done?
Well, a good director would not pose a question to Bolt (or anyone) and then cut him off before he had a chance to answer it. Perhaps Bolt has answered the question but whoever edited the footage made a mistake.
The question I am talking about was when MJ asked Bolt ’ What makes him so fast?’
And yeah, I do not like arrogant and egoistic people like MJ.
yeah… because saying he is a dick is the same as saying he sucked as an athlete. ok bro. nobody says he sucked as an athlete just that he tried to make that vid about him as much as bolt.
The question was answered. “When I started track & field I was good naturally, I was always running fast, breaking records. Its just a talent, everybody has there own talents, god gave me the talent to run fast & give back to the world”. Referring to genetics & why the ability is there to run fast.
Also, I don’t think there is anything wrong with a little self-promotion on MJ’s part, particularly when it housed some of the best parts of the documentary.
