JAMAICAN PEOPLE ARE A CULTURE BONDING WITH FAMILY RELATIVES AND CLOSE FRIENDS. THEIR LIVES DEPEND ON GOD CHRIST AND COMMITMENT. THE JAMAICAN FLAG IS PROUDLY REPRESENTING THE LOVE FOR COUNTRY THAT'S WHY GOD IS BLESSINGS THE JAMAICAN PEOPLE WITH MILLIONS AND THE GOLD 🏅 MEDALS
The Jamaica Tourist Board need to support the athletes The athletes are internationally showcasing Jamaican brands overseas, with enhanced the number of tourists that comes to the country
I love this interview for many reasons than I can text about here. I'm kind of taken back when I hear coach Mills talk about his views and knowledge concerning the Jamaican T&F industry and its participants. I'm directly impacted and invested in every thing he spoke about but, I see Jamaica T&F as an oasis of local and global opportunity. Speed (T&F) needs to be harnessed and exported for profit just like any natural resource in Jamaica. The issue I have with T&F is they are always waiting for private or government sectors to advance talent and financial growth. The only way to address the issues affecting T&F in Jamaica and other countries is to look internal, those that are personally and directly invested. Step away from old conversations and create a new way of seeing T&F, a dimensional shift to see things full of opportunity that has a rippling affect of prosperity... Glen Mills, I look to speak with you in person soon!
I totally agree with Coach Mills Shelly Ann wasn't at her best if she was I believe Elaine probably would have achieved a new world record, cause she would have push her. To God be the glory Jamaica has three fabulous ladies who continue to place us on top of the podium.
In total agreement about the great Merlene Joyce Ottey, she ran against so many tainted athletes that on a level playfield, she would have garnered many gold medals.
@@Neo-Femme Lol. At some point many athletes who keep losing are under pressure to speed up recovery and train longer. So, they end up using human growth hormone, etc
To cite an example of the lack of support for athletes at the transition stage, I've been asking the question in other comments sections, why do we have a talent like Kevona Davis going to a US college when it is clear that she is one of our brightest future prospects and running Collegiate track usually does more harm to our juniors than good ? Why hasn't this young lady been sponsored by a local Company already?
So her coach was suppose to try and keep her slow for a certain period of time? I don't agree with that sentiment. Maybe you are unaware that Elaine was slightly injured at trials while Shelly had a slight slip at the start of the Olympic 100m.
@@phillyyardyvibes808 I'm from the U.S., and The Jamacian Track and Field Program has done well, and had made Major Contributions to The Sports World in many areas! What's impressive, is that when I've seen video footage of The Jamaican Athletes in training at The Jamaican Training Facilities, they work with what's available and not whine and complain on social media! Maybe that helps to keep the humility, and appreciate what they do have, The Will To Win!
@@Godspeedysick Yes! The Los Angeles Laker Retired Guard Legend Jerry West stated: "You're Not A Champion, Until You Are!". Michael Jordan felt that way as well. A Champion Can Say That! (Bolt, Gatlin, Elaine Thompson Herah, Shelly Ann Fraser Price, Sidney M.)
@@darmuntdavid732 some of these athletes are like wasp, they learn how , to make the honey comb and swear they know how to make the honey. Later they realise they know nothing. All athletes who leave the 2 greats end up almost no where. Even Shelly, under Francis she would have ran 10:63 or less at the olympic final
Looking at Tina Clayton too. Our women are on fire at the U20 World Champaign Kenya. The men too. I'm excited for our future. Pray I'm around to see it.
That's an unfair assessment, considering that the first time they raced each other Shelly had a toe injury and Elaine was in the best shape of her life in 2016. In 2018 Elaine was injured and Shelly was getting back to fitness after having a baby. I would say the first time they raved each other healthy was 2019, then 2021...
I agree. Elaine is a stronger athlete physically and Shelly cannot beat her when they are both fully fit. That was evident during the 100m and 200m finals in Tokyo.
@@amoysmith6120 you means genes ?. that is some white nationalist nonsense . don't you think ?. is it do with running culture or weather or altitude or island culture ?
Every country were experiencing and dealing with covid and all athletes performed in the same atmosphere at Tokyo. So to speak about the lockdown in Jamaica as if its Enrique to Jamaican athletes only, is a weak argument
Andrew Holiness not doing nothing for sport only making pretty speech every parish should have a sport and culture centre where they embrace track and field' boxing', kick boxing swimming ' football , teaching the youth how to play saxphone drum trumpet guitar. Look in Jamaica we r too sterotype every want to be a teacher doctor nurse lawyer dj what happen to the art ? I never hear a youth say him want to be a boxer what boxer earn in five minute can take a doctor to earn in a life time or it took a teacher to earn a month it can take a saxahonist to earn in a day
Stop blaming Andrew,Covid problems and previously agreed to infrastructire development are taking up a lot of the money.The government can only do so much and no more.The private sector will have to take that up.
To be fair some countries were opened up for athletes training at the highest level long before others. So to say conditions were the same for every country isn't a true statement. It would be true to say all athletes have been affected by the Pandemic.... but of course this would be to varying degrees.
If you have a storm coming and you reside inside of a very well built mansion then of course you’ll have the upper hand from the guy lives in a board house. And trust me, Jamaica has many board houses. Bottom line is the US and other countries have unlimited resources at their disposal to deal with the pandemic. Not to mention the best psychologists.
@@KoolKaiser lol I obviously weren't talking Oblique nor Stephens since he only recently started coaching them, my question is "why is no more top athlete emerging from his camp" you totally dogged my question
I also agree with coach mill saying that when you reach a final in the OLYMPICS it is a great achievement i remembered RAYMOND STEWART making every Olympics final keeping brand jamaica alive
@@briandelion1131 yeah I know what your saying, however, he was never “caught doping” any athletes, thou i understand that you’re only repeating the narrative provided to us.
Chilling with one of the greats. It's always refreshing to hear coach Mills. Love how he praised and acknowledged Elaine's heroic feats and the brilliance of her coach who prepared her to achieve them. Kudos, coach Mills. We need more of that in the coaching arena and in life in general. Congrats on another fantastic interview Lance and Mariah! Caribbean proud!!
I don’t care how many Olympic Gold Medals her younger compatriots win, Merlene Ottey will always be The Greatest to me. Those who come after would not have been inspired if it wasn’t for her majesty.
No matter how great merlene ottey was Shelly Ann Fraser Pryce is the goat, but she is an all time great though and if Elaine continue like she’s she might get there too
@@jackthrone5555 what does merlene and Felix have over Shelly Ann? Are you serious do you know their history? Elaine is the only woman to win back to back double sprint olympic 100m & 200m championships and only one to win the treble at the Olympics, historical, Shelly Ann the only woman to win 4 individual medals at the Olympics period, historical, 3rd fastest in history Elaine 2nd fastest in history, so what you mean they have nothing on them? Don’t play with numbers and facts dude are you crazy? I grew up watching ottey and Felix is a great one too but come on now numbers don’t lie, google the greatest female sprinter of all times and tell me whose bio pops up, want me give you an int? SFP💪🏽
I think that would be a great idea. I think there should be a body or some type system to garner and nurture these younger talents transitioning from high school. As you know some will get overseas scholarships but there are a lot of great talents that did not transition to a higher level. Government injecting funds into a system as well as some Corporate sponsorship will greatly help improve our youngsters talent to another level.
Blake never mash up himself if u followed his history you will see and understand he was always injury plagued glen mills himself said it ,show the man some respect he is the second fastest man all time
@@darmuntdavid732 ..no disrespect in my comment. He gets respect but as they say "you're as good as your last victory". And Usain Bolt already revealed that Blake and Weir used to complain about the coach and not follow orders.
I don`t think Bolt had anything to do with Yohan`s injuries. Yohan was injured when he first met Glen Mills. I also believe that Yohan Blake pushes his body too much and doesn`t allow himself to recover well. He used to train more than Bolt, which obviously paid off at first but seemed harsh on his body after. I remember Usain saying that Yohan refused to accept the coach`s plan for recovery and wanted to do his own thing. Usain on the other hand listened to everything the coach said. Usain respected the coach.
To Sports Max Zone! Nice Work Again, by Your Staff! After listening to Jamacian Track and Field Coach Glen Mills, checking out his body of Work, The Sports Media Outlets, especially in The US, have done him much disrespect, by not "doing the work" in traveling to Jamacia and seeing Him doing Coaching at Top Level! A Salute to Coach Glen Mills! Thank You!
@@flopo3044 I think he bit the hand that fed him and he should go and find a coach willing to allow him to slack off like Bolt said. That way he gets to bad-mouth someone else.
Female journalist not only is a attractive eye candy I love how she ask interesting questions bt still she sit back listen without making it about her and interpret with no substance like most American sports female moderator for example molly from First Take always interjecting herself into the conversation with minimal substance !keep it up
Briana Williams is not running on Saturday 21 August 2021. Da 100 m against da best in da world is crazy . Why not but S. Richardson is running n da rest
I remember commenting on a video shortly after Shelly ran the 10.6 stating that she peaked too early, and I got backlash. But that was just facts Nd it played out for itself
The back lash was unnecessary but I don't think she peaked early. She actually started her season late with 10.63 being only her 4th 100m for the season. Also if you pay close attention to the race, there was a following wind of 1.3m/s, which means if there was not wind her time becomes 10.70. In the post race interview she didn't expect to run that fast this early and she was working on different parts of her race. She didn't peak to early it was an unfortunate stumble on her 3rd step that caused stand up her drive phase early and couldn't regain her composure.
@@anthonyclarke2253 I think In the interview she said she went to run full out to see what she could’ve produced and where she’s at. That’s what I remember from the interview.
@@kingstonrock3693 I think it has to do with change of coach, over the years when we were used to Shelly playing possum she was under Stephen Francis. He would get her ready at the right time, just as he would Elaine
Nonsense Mills coach Kim Collins to world championship victory in 2003 Mills had a123 ,in London so a Bolt get all three medal Man get lost if you do not know anything many of you talking all sort of nonsense about the man.
