Your commentary is so professional, factual, interesting and engaging that I have returned to your videos faithfully to be kept abreast of the running seasons. And I am not one to listen to sports commentators at all, but yours are next level. I am actually inspired to start running again.
@@briangent1527 So what happened in this video where Boling 'proved everyone wrong'? I just browsed through it and noticed it was just all rehashed races and talk points. It just bores viewers from returning, as opposed to his actual quality content.
Boling will likely set PBs in both the 100m and 200m this coming season, but I don't see him being competitive enough in either the 100m or 200m at this point. However, I do think your analysis is spot on. He really does need to eliminate the indoor season from his schedule. No one really cares about indoor, anyway, and all it'll do is create too much fatigue for him when it matters.
We have no idea what Boling might run this year. There are a lot of guys who ran around 9.98 and 19.92 at 21 and now are some of the best in the world in their mid to late 20's.
@@nimashams8776 Not only is training for & doing the Decathlon much more taxing on the body, but there's no guarantee that he'll have enough of an aptitude for the VERY technical PV, HJ, Javelin, 110mH, Discus & Shot Put events to be competitive! He's not going to 'clean up' in those 6 very technical events which leaves just the 100/400/1500m & LJ. He'll win the 100/400m events for sure, but has never run an 800m let alone a 1500m race so that's a crapshoot! He has an outdoor LJ 8.02m PB, but current decathletes Simon Ehammer (8.45m) & Damian Warner (8.28) have jumped further! So even if he did well in the 1500m, that's at most just 3 out of 10 events he's capable of winning!
This wasn’t a peeking issue as watch as it was a miss management issue. At the NCAA championships alone he had pre-limbs in 100 200 long jump and 4 x 4. So by the time he actually ran the 200 m finals he had already competed in eight events. Georgia hast to make a decision whether they want him to win or if they want to try to get team points. Their current plan for him is not conducive to him running world-class times late in the spring early summer season.
I don’t think you understand what leaking is about. Because he competed in so many meets and trained to have most success in may/June, he was not able to have great success in World or US championships
You have to understand that college coaches don’t care about what their athletes are doing after they leave school. They care about points and championships so they literally run their best athletes into the ground.
Given the current incredible depth in US 100/200m sprinting with a number of guys capable of running 9.76 - 9.86 & 19.31 - 19.80, might make sense long-term for 22yr old Boling to commit to the 400m (now that Randolph Ross is off the board for 3yrs) as well as the Long Jump if he wants to make a US Team over the next 3 global championship years!
you're forgetting he's only 22 and has a lot of time to PR and lower his times... it makes no sense to run the 400 and become a hybrid runner in this moment. plus you're forgetting there's more to ones track career than the olympics.
@@DankScole Do you honestly & objectively see him making the 100m Team ahead of the likes of Kerley, Bromell, Bracy & Coleman? Or the 200m Team ahead of Lyles, Knighton, Kenny B, Norman & Kerley?! And as a Pro Track Athlete, only the WC & Olympics matter!
@@AllInTheGame01 I’ve been saying it for 2 years now.. Boling definitely has potential in the 100.. but not sure if he could ever reach the top 3 in the US as a pro. I’ve always thought he would fare better as a 200/400 specialist and maybe even drop the long jump. But.. he definitely has potential with the long jump, maybe even more than he does with the 200.. so I could definitely see him becoming really great if he just focused on the 400 and long jump.
@@darthsilversith667 Absolutely! Jeremy Wariner who can also long jump is what I see when I watch Boling. He'd genuinely make the Top 3 in the 100/200m in just about any other country atm, but the US is just a different animal as there's so much top-tier talent atm! Hope he doesn't leave it too late re making the switch to the 400m/LJ full-time!
Matthew Boling is in his third year of NCAA Track & Field and he should be able to relax more due to his greater level of experience. But, we never know in athletics and a lot depends on good health. That makes me wonder what happened to Terrance Laird. He won the 2021 200 meter championship as a senior and was going to turn pro.
@@Brave-828 Glad he's back. Laird and Boling enjoyed a great rivalry. Boling is already an outstanding collegian. Will he make it at on the world stage? There are so many outstanding athletes from all over in the sprints I once again say Boling should attempt the Decathlon. He wouldn't have to be the best at any one event but would need the best overall score. With his upper body strength to go with his speed, he epitomizes the all around athlete that the Decathletes are.
Agreed. The guy's an exceptional talent. But given the depth of talent in the sprints throughout the world at this time, he'll never win an individual sprint title at the Olympics or the World Champs. But 8.25m in the LJ is very legit and he could have medal chance there.
Once he learns the ability to relax his upper body and use all oxygen for his legs he will improve even more. Two prime examples are Noah Lyles and Usain Bolt. Compare thier upper bodies at start of career to their later dominance. The only obvious change was upper body relaxation. This includes arms, shoulders, neck and even the jaw muscles. 👍

@@johnnycheckpoint8431 a keyboard Warrior is anytime a person types something they would not say to the persons face in whatever the context of the conversation is. I only type things i would gladly and openly without fear or shame say to a persons face.
@@yt_hatescrime_data4301 I know what it is. You’re exactly proving my point. What did he say that made you get upset and think “you wouldn’t say that to my face”? He didn’t even say anything that could be construed as being a “keyboard warrior”. Your ego is just too big so you got butt hurt because somebody on the internet said something that you didn’t like.
His UGA coach is big on indoor SEC season. He will likely sprint under a roof and the clouds both. His 100 times will likely break 10 again but not by much. His 200 times under 20 consistently. That is his best race. He also excels in the 400. Two of his top NCAA sprint competitors have gone pro.
He wouldn’t have to delay his season/completely skip indoor, we would just have to be on an event count/limitation. It’s the same thing Trey Cunningham did last year, granted he was coming off a big injury and wanted to make sure he was still able to run fast at worlds. Indoor is an important time to work on things and get prepared for outdoor.
Marcel Jacobs should be able to break 20 alongside his -10s and 8+m record, but the fact that I'm talking about the Olympic champ only underlines how special Boling's accomplishment is.
Let's be honest. Matthew Boling, as a world class "white sprinter", is a MAJOR gate attraction at track meets and therefore is in high demand. Perhaps he should cut down on the number of early track meets to avoid burnout in order to be fresh for the conference and NCAA championships. Btw, he's from my hometown of Houston and I've been following him since his days @ Strait Jesuit where he DOMINATED in the 100, 200, 400, and long jump.
Matthew is both pretty tall and not very light. While I'll never sprint even close to what he can it always motivates me to se tall, buff athletes performing like this.
He needs to continue to reflect on his goals and how he can get achieve them (I say “continue” because I’m sure he does this already). Maybe team goals and the discipline needed to achieve those goals (participating in so many events) are important to him right now. But even within that, he needs to look at every way he can maximize his performances. If these performances align with his current goals and he understands why he is getting the results he is, then that’s fine. However, if he’s not fully satisfied, then he and his his coach should do a comprehensive breakdown of everything he does - training schedule and mix, technique, diet, meet events, even his class workload and sleep… leave no stone unturned. It’s also possible that he needs a fresh set of eyes to help him to maximize his potential. Loyalty is admirable, but it’s possible that switching coaches by going elsewhere could help him better achieve all his individual goals. Having said all that, it’s easy for us all to sit back and comment on all this things. I really just hope he is having fun and is living his life in a way that makes him happy. I certainly have enjoyed following his career through videos like this one. He’s quite an amazing athlete - even if he never does go on to win an Olympic medal.
He has had an impressive season and good times. I don’t think he is limited by the collegiate season (indoor and/or outdoor) but by his poor technique. He runs with a lot of determination BUT with way too much stress and tension. His times are amongst the top times in the nation; however, his key competitors run with much more ease and efficiency. His side-to-side swaying/rocking speaks to his need to streamline his running. Someone needs to teach him how to run more like a world class senior athlete than a junior runner at a School sports day.
@@rogerwiebe8404 pure passion full in the moment with lesser technique or very good technique with lesser living/running in the moment . I think the pure passion & enjoyment = key for Steiner & Bolling succes ..their rawness = happiness they can compete on this level ..I think both will break through even more . Both are very much their own and thats a good thing in a totally f'd up Covidian Orwellian Full on Fascist World
It seems to be the same thing with him every year. He consistently crushes-it during the indoor season, and then, like you pointed-out, his performance wanes as he appears to reach his peak too early in the season.
Running relaxed only works at top speed...believe me in a 60meter race every competitor is accelerating through the finish line. No one is running relaxed in 60m very few can hit relaxed form even in the 100m
Historically, the US has over extended collegiate athletes for generations.If he was cleverly trained, Boling could dominate the US and World championships in 2023.He'd have to forego the indoors and outdoor April races in order to peak for June to August championships.
I know Mathew personally as he went to an all boys school down the street from me. He is going to be an Olympic champ. He works harder than anyone i know
The fact the US has over a basketball team that have ran under 20 seconds is amazing and the future looks good. If not next year by 2024 I expect him to have top 3 times for current athletes in an event or two if he keeps his current projection.
I love your channel and watch a lot of your videos. In attempt to be helpful, I'll mention that it's a bit inappropriate to refer to any arbitrary time as being a 'barrier'. A true barrier is something that is essentially unbroken, unmovable, and often took a very long time for anyone to exceed beyond. e.g. The 200m race could be said to have a 19.10 barrier, as 19.19 is the current fastest.
Barriers can be overcome. Then new barriers are devised. Marks that have stood for a long time are called barriers but we've seen them surpassed often, such as in the 400 meter hurdles by both Sydney McLaughlin in the women's events and Karsten Warholm in the men's events. The American who represents Sweden in the pole vault, Armand Duplantis of Louisiana, has surpassed the barrier (the stick that crosses between the uprights can also be called a barrier) many times.
@@muhammadputera6593 It isn't clickbait. With Fahnbulleh gone, unless there is a freshman sensation coming along he's likely to be favored. He's finished ahead of the rest in the 200 m and even beat Fahnbulleh, the Nigerian Olympic fifth place finisher and NCAA champ in The SEC 200 meter. He's been one of the top point winners in the NCAA Track & Field competitions every year he's competed.
His peak is not really dependent on doing indoor season or not, more on his workout schedule and work load. You can do indoor, but use it more as a training tool and not adjust your regular workouts to it (in that case you might end up with slower, but continuously improving times). Not by accident most professional athletes are peaking for a specific event and they are usually using the other events before it as part of the preparation. At the end of the day, unless he goes pro, it is not his choice as a university athlete when to peak, the school coach will decide and prepare the workout schedule for him accordingly. As for making it on the 100 and 200 meters, I wish the best for him, it would be fun to see him running at that level. He breaks the mold on the sprint events, which is very crowded with sub 10 and sub 20 performers. With his kind of speed and sprint endurance, he would probably benefit from switching to the 400m. In relay he already clocked sub 44. If he is able to replicate that on open 400m, he has a better chance making it to the World Championship than on the sprints.
I think he should continu exactly like he is until all is college years are over. He is actually doing something that NOBODY did in all these events. This will construct a unique athlete. Let him invest in him and he will eventually only have the outdoors and with age he will be at is own best.
it comes down to what he prioritizes. It would be better for him to focus on that - he would be a unicorn of sorts. trying to do everything - he ends up running on fumes. Your nervous system doesn't respond if not rested and prepped properly. Alot of people are comparing him to full fledge pro's and olympian's...each athlete is different. People can't say he peaked, he is only 22. Please don't make a fool of yourself and then compare him to others when you don't keep in mind his schedule compared to that of pro's and Olympians - it does make a significant difference!!!!
Joseph Fanmbuleh who won both the 100m and 200m NCAA championships, seems to have gone pro. It gives Boling a chance to shine in college. I think Boling wants to win some major titles before he goes pro, and the easiest way for him to do that is win the NCAA just like Steiner
He's already won the NCAA 200 meter in indoor competition and he has finished second twice in the Outdoor Championship. He beat Joseph Fahnbulleh in the SEC Championships last year.
Being a Scholar-Athlete with a full college class load and maintaining a high GPA is not easy. He should be able to concentrate on track after graduation.
If I'm MB I would SERIOUSLY considering consulting Abby Steiners' coach prior to this season to max his potiential because she does it year after year...
When you are on scholarship, you do what the coach tells you. If your head coach was brought in to win SEC championships and you are the talented Matthew Boling you are going to compete your a$$ off. That's how it works. I've had several athletes, whom I coached in high school, who could have been world class but were so burnt out at the end of their college careers they quit competitive running. It is highly unlikely that Matt will get the proper rest he needs to be competitive enough to make an Olympic team until he becomes a professional. This is not a knock on anybody, except for maybe the system. It's just the facts as I have experienced them.
He’s capable of making US team in ‘23 in 100 or 200… In my personal opinion, he is athletic as anyone on the team (re long jump) and I think adding some more muscle would benefit him at this point still being young.
Child-exploiter-Breediot 'logic', 'morality', 'ethics' 101: - NPC-normies who want kids be like: The world is a horrible, disgusting, oppressive place! - Also, NPC-normies who want kids be like: I hope to force at least 7- 20 kids (against their will, without their permission/consent) one day into this horrible/disgusting/oppressive place! - I am like: soooo you choose to impose exploitation from all points of views, suffering and death on innocent sentient beings?! Your lack of empathy is horrifying and astonishing at the same time. Religious nutcases’ ‘logic’: "Everyone is born a sinner " "Sin is what causes us to suffer" "Let's be fruitful & multiply to create countless suffering sinners" Humans are born with sin. Sin is bad. Is it a good thing to create more sin through breeding like animals? It's just funny how anyone needs a license to drive and a license to do pretty much anything, BUT not for forcing innocent beings into this existence of exploitation, suffering and death. Breediots are death factories. Once you purposely become a unconscious breediot-child-exploiter, i.e. a biological parent, you are saying to the world that you are ready for every terrible thing that will happen to the innocent souls you forced into this dimension (without their consent/permission, against their will), and you as a breediot shouldn't complain about anything! Preventionists love children enough not to bring them into this world of life-long exploitation, slavery, suffering, death and eternal torture in hell. Breediots are still the ones responsible for ALL the exploitation, suffering and death their child(ren) WILL experience. Oh, remember to extract, squeeze some more happiness out of your kids! These breediot-child-exploiters think of human existence as a relay race. There is no prize at the end of this pointless endeavour. The only price for 80- 90% of the sheeple NPCs is eternal torture in HELL. But the ‘church’ never told you this did they? They only told you about ‘be fruitful and multiply’ and about making sure to keep the tax free donations coming. I mean who would make and keep the church industrial complex filthy rich/wealthy if suckers/victims are not being forced into this ‘heaven’? Facts, reason and the scientific method destroy pronatalist-breediot nonsense every time. Optimism/ hopium/ stubborn denial of the painful, harsh, brutal, cruel, horrible reality of life/ wearing rose-colored glasses/ pink balloon addiction/ willful blindness (cf. Plato's Cave) --- this is the most grave ailment afflicting human society worldwide; and antinatalism/preventionism (all sentience), pessimism and depressive realism are the best treatment or cure. If it is gods plan for millions to billions of people to live terrible lives, then that god is no god but a Cosmic asshole. Nature is a disaster waiting to happen at any moment ... the “lovely “ colors and scenery is all a mask to hide its vicious sadism. Breeders are child abusers. According to the NSPCC, 'Child abuse is when a child is intentionally harmed by an adult or another child - it can be over a period of time but can also be a one-off action. It can be physical, sexual or emotional...' Bringing a child into the world will inevitably cause them physical, sexual or emotional harm. Life is so bad, many babies experience trauma while still in the womb. I’ll never understand the breediot mentality. Don’t impose someone to something you yourself cannot handle! I'll never understand why anyone would choose to bring kids in a world where people die every 30 SECONDS. Evil God create humans without our consent. We go through hell on earth and then he sends us to hell when we die. god is a sick being who only cares about being worshipped..he dont care about us. He covers the earth with salty water that we cant drink. He puts the fruit within reach of adam and eve. He created us without our permission. He created hell..he created humans knowing ahead of time that most of us will go to hell even though no one should go there for eternity.. he hides himself instead of appearing and speaking in front of everyone at the same which allows humans to create thousands of religions with a person saying god told me this or that. Every religious person thinks their religion is right while a person looking for religion doesnt know what to believe. And if u dont believe the right religion, he will send u to hell. He is a d*ck

bruh boling is literally holding back we will see him ramp up more and more as we get closer to the next olympic games and then he will win it all. Mark my words he will get at least one gold.
Choosing UGA was huge mistake for Boling, that I still don’t understand. They treat him like a workhorse, instead of a star. He’s been mismanaged since he got there. Every year I hope he transfers to Oregon, USC, Houston, LSU, FL etc. It never happens.
He is good and even GREAT, but so is his computation in America.. Look at Fab, he might not have made the American Team in the 200m but was in the finals at the Olympics and Worlds for 2 years in a row running for a different country. America is stacked in sprints and will be for the next 10 years. Maybe he will get on the world's or Olympic team but he might not ever get there because America is just that good in the sprints. I do think he will make the team a few times, but it will be very hard indeed.. if he makes the team he will most likely medal...
Not to mention, and I don’t wanna be that guy, but Lewis’ murky history with multiple drug failures in 1988 that he finally admitted to. As far as his 100m, that’s about when he was peaking between 88 and 91
He has an excellent record in the high school high jump and his twin brother was a pole vault champ. (That indicates he probably already knows a lot about technique in this difficult event.)He has good upper body strength and a great long jump.
@@trinal3745 Yeh maybe, lol. It has annoyed for some time, it was inevitable Bowling doing so many events was eventually going to fall behind world podium standard, he must pick 2 events and stick to it. In my opinion lol
To answer your World Championships next year regarding Matthew Boling. Can he? Yes. Will he? Probably. The odds may be better for next year, but with that lineup, it's going to be tougher next year.
*Boiling didn't run half the amount of races he did before, nobody gives the other college track sprinters an excuse. Its his school, it's his run load and every other thing under the sun! Just say he hit his peak, his best times are with the wind at his back!*
Why is this so different from College swimming they can be year-round unstop short course and long course yet they can taper off or train around the biggest events and still be fast enough for the yearly grind and each contester/meet… I guess swimmers love their taper more lol
Are we really worried about 30-60 races over indoor/outdoor/trials/WC or Olympics? Track athletes run year round AND in season are running 2-4 times weekly at 75-100% in practice. If there is fatigue it’s mental not physical. These people are the epitome of peak human performance
If he had the correct specialist coach, he might win the big late season events?? It takes a very strict regimented and "restrained "effort for such... it could result in him being better than ever!
I am interested in where you accessed those charts. Boling was one of the top point scorers in collegiate track and field last season. Why is that so hard to accept?
@@vernonfrance2974 He's already demonstrated he will never get beyond his limited running form, and has already been left in the DUST in the 100 & 200 His LG is were he should focus ALL his attention from NOW ON!
@@freshurb8963 I think your opinion is wishful thinking. Having finished second in the NCAA finals two years in a row is hardly being left in the dust. 😆Furthermore, he beat the NCAA winner in the SEC Finals to win that championship. The winner in the NCAA's in 2022 was the Liberian Olympian who finished fifth in the Tokyo Olympics. He is now a professional so that leaves the 200m as a propitious target. The current leaders in the 200m open competition will age, and he could continue to improve. If so, he could definitely be in the mix for the national and international finals. He also is good in the LJ and has done well in the 400m and high jump. The NCAA Champion in the 400m is suspended for three years so Boling should also consider that as another event to compete in. With good upper body strength he could train as a heptathlete and decathlete although he might not yet be able to dethrone the current NCAA champ who represents Puerto Rico.
@user-fq2rg1hh5x People who talk about great athletes do not always limit it to "the world stage." By that definition no American football player could be considered a world class athlete unless they competed in a world wide sport. Also, with the numerous outstanding athletes from other countries competing in the NCAA's representing American universities it already is "On The World Stage." However, Boling did beat the fifth place finisher in the Olympics who competed for Liberia, Joseph Fahnbulleh, at the 2022 SEC Championships. That puts him up there in consideration especially with a bit of improvement that most sprinters achieve in their mid to latter twenties. Some of the current world stars will have passed their peak leaving room for younger athletes to take prominent positions. Boling already has the record for the most gold medals won by one athlete at the U20 Pan American Games where he got four. "Matthew Boling, the fastest high-school runner in the nation and future Georgia track star, brought home a handful of hardware this weekend from the Pan-American U20 games. ugawire.usatoday.com/2019/07/22/georgia-track-signee-matthew-boling-shines-at-pan-american-u20-races/ The 19-year-old Texas native led Team USA to a 4×100 record relay record while also running a 10.11 100-meter time and a 20.31 200-meter time for two more first-place finishes." He also won the long jump. There are now many African, European and a few Asian runners who also can compete well on the world stage, but the Pan American region (The Western Hemisphere) still has the greatest sprinting success worldwide as compared with the Eastern Hemisphere.
When they race as many races as collegiate athletes do, unless competition is weak, they can't peak at the end of the season because their strength is gone.
