ADG is playing Chess at a high level. Many are not. Great posts.

Andre got a chance to fail, succeed and fail again and he took full advantage of this process. I have been and am a good coach as I had initial...

I think Mr. De Grasse has done a good job with his life on and off the track. It was a slippery slope for him for a bit and he managed to turn it...

Balance, What is ADG of Canada? LOL

Those Italians looked really relaxed in the Relay. Very well done. It seems that they have hit those speeds before in training.

How about a blog on ADG of Canada. Switched up Coaches a few times and ultimately ended up winning a Gold in the 2020 (2021) OLY Games in the 200...

No matter what level you are at, don't under estimate the value of less is often more and few want to hear about rest and regeneration play a pivotal...

I think we need to treat the block work separate and different from speed work. It's one of the most intense exercises of the speed and sprinting...

The General Preparation Phase video talks about the role medicine ball throws and hills and start drills play in developing the angles are you...

There is a minimum and maximum amount to "get" each time you perform block starts. And if we are looking to conserve or prioritize our energies ( we...

Brett, Who said there was a debate? The proof of the sprinting is on the track right? And you are either getting what you need and want or not....

Angie, How would you model the intensity of a block start compared to an individual fast sprint, perhaps 95%, over say 40m. I aim for something...

Look, I'm not saying these things to prove I'm right. Obviously I am pointing out an error in myself and seeking help for it. I did not come here to...

"I simply cannot generate the same speed without having the aggressive angles present," Well guess what? You need to change this. Or do you? Do we...

This is exactly the case for many aspects of learning

What you mentioned about confidence is really important too. I think the bottom line is that confidence shifts things to the hind-brain (good for...

Yeah idk. I think that my emphasis on acceleration work is because I seem to run a lot differently out of the blocks than from a standing start. I...

by the way, relaxing is often a function of feeling confident about what you are doing for training. If you are not feeling good about your training...

Brett, you have given me lots of data but just because you are doing S to L, that does not mean you will get away with avoiding the routine...

Brett, how do you improve your speed for 60m without doing repeat 60's? I have summarized in a previous post recently on this thread defining speed,...

You have summarized the areas regarding many things which influence sport and maturation of age in sport nicely. Thank you for doing so. As...

Yes YoungCJ1, when I speak about economics I mean to remind everyone that our personal financial situation will dictate our ability to follow through...

Brett this was awesome man! I appreciate your response!

Hey Ange, and thank you for your response. Yes this is certainly the age of technology and information. Virtually anything you want to research,...

Ange, I've said it before and I'll say it again. We all are so fortunate to have you hosting this site and honoring your husband's legacy. The...

Maybe others might pipe in and speak and share and contribute to your questions. I can't run this site alone nor will I try. It was set up a...

I would invite myself to your country or to mine and take a look free of charge and we can go from there full stop. Obviously it's not that easy but...

Science in sport has not been the same as science for popular consumption. I do not mean to be negative but it's not possible that a switch off drugs...

What a lovely note from you. Thank you for sharing this with us. And it is coming from a place Charlie loved, the Caribbean. I have yet to...

Good evening Angela, Happy new years and seasons greetings from The Caribbean. I have been an avid follower of Mr.Francis for a number of years. I...
