I'm driven by the process of improving people and changing lives. I began my coaching career after a failed attempt to break into the Olympic Scene as an athlete. I recognized I was a far better communicator and planner than I was an athlete.
Over the past 8 years I have been fortunate to work with 5 Olympic Teams, coached an athlete to a Bronze Medal at Winter Olympics, helped 20+ get drafted into the NFL, worked with two Heisman Trophy Winners, and most recently a #3 and #1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Most notably, however, I've guided a large percentage of our youth athletes to college scholarships.
Our company now is diving deep into technology to provide data solutions for teams, athletes, and coaches who are looking to individualize their sprint performance. Without properly "mapping" an athlete and understand their capabilities, it is hard to look into creating programming. Split times and stop watch times won't cut it anymore.
❤❤❤❤❤Greetings from Ukraine ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Thank you for your excellent❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ work, it improves the quality of our training and helps Ukrainians defeat the Red Horde
Les, Thanks for informative stuffs. Could you please share the link of the full version of this video? Especially the later part where it shows 2 guys accelerating.
any reason you teach midfoot/forefoot dribbles as opposed to landing fully flat footed/on the heel (like ALTIS)? the midfoot landings seem to force more horizontal displacement as opposed to vertical. would love to hear your thought process there!
I hate to say this but you get these guys that will come on and make remarks in a snide way or have an agenda to prove a certain coaches training is wrong or to act as if they know better or are more successful...YET...they are watching another coach's video. When his feet make ground contact you should be able to slide a credit card underneath so there isn't much wrong with his ground contact as far as how much of his foot touches. Great job Les!
Thank you so much for this tip because today , I kept landing on my toes most of the run. We were running on uneven sidewalks and I usually trip or stumble because I am up on my toes.
Really nice one! You could put targets for the heads and the knees; maybe another athlete cuing with his hands… Thank you for sharing this! BTW: for the white shirt dude, it might just be how he sets his front foot for his exercise, which closes the available space to get hip extension. With the line it's really easy to see it: it's strictly pointing forward and very close to his midline. Not many male athlete can get full extension with these conditions. Look at a male sprint final: feet point outward and outside of the hips. (more obvious on sprint with wider hips)
A lot of your workouts are basically warm ups… The best way to get fast is compete and actually run. I understand gow technique is important but thats all we see in your videos. Let the run and compete
