@@shinsei7560 Whitney was on drugs prior to Bobby brown. She was messed up due to molestation as a child not her husband. This is different. Elaine has needed a reputable coach for a couple years now and her husband has misguided her to the point that she looks physically different these days. It is that noticeable and exposes the fact that her husband is not a good trainer.
@@alansjf33 Drugs weren't the only thing that messed her up. Bobby Brown was very jealous of her success. He was never as big big of a star. She brought in most the money. He enabled her habit because he had one as well. He used he to fund his habit. He was a loser with a bunch of kids. Whitney could have done so much better than Bobby brown.
@@minachoo-ho1362 Whitney was way more into drugs than Bobby. Whitney got Bobby into drugs. She was a mess. She was not a wife for any man and she couldn’t have done better. Yes Bobby had his issues and you can see the results now but the public refused to see how much worse she was than Bobby .
I hate how the Jamaican people have beaten this lady. We glorify her when she wins but when she is down we try to sink her. Elaine keep pushing girl, ignore the noise, pray
The world and his wife suspected that the husband was the cause of the tension between Elaine and MVP and not her personally. It would be a great shame to watch her fade as she is one of the greatest we've ever witnessed. She's clearly under stress not knowing how to reverse a decision which will result in her earning 100% of very little
I have always been of the firm belief that sometimes we allow people into our lives that do not serve us the best purpose. I appreciate that the man is her husband, but if he is not qualified for the task then he just isn't. It clearly has not worked for her and while before she had a team that could guide her she does not seem to have that at the moment. There is nothing wrong with saying hey this is not working and we need to revamp, if it means keeping hubby simply as hubby and finding a new team so be it. If they want to let pride be their downfall then so be it. Let's see how next season goes
Feel it for her, a really great athlete that maybe the world will never get to see her full potential all because of bad decisions, wishing her all the best…. Such great talent ❤
10.54 fastest woman alive lol 5 Olympics gold medals most by any jamaican athlete only athlete apart from usain bolt to have back to back double olympics champion I think we have seen her full potential. She has nothing more to prove she already a legend .
She didn't marry a coach she married someone who doesn't know his place nor respects her decision making as an athlete. ETH was world leading on virtually all her races to include winning at World's and the Olympics until her injuries. As he said and every athlete knows the greatest asset to your career is your health and a coach who knows how to get the best out of you. After watching a few races from last season and this it's sad to see she chose to listen to the obviously wrong coaching advice.
@@Paul48131what does marriage and loyalty have to do with acting the best for her career, if he valued his marriage and was loyal to his wife he would want the best for her, no? Or maybe her goals aren't his?
@@Paul48131 so if you are married to some one who is thinking of his ego at the expense of your career its ok. if he was a good husband , he would support what's best for his wife not his ego . you clearly don't understand the concept of marriage
My question is: Does Elaine want to return to the MVP camp? If not, let her be. It's her career that's at stake; by now she should understand her weaknesses and strengths and be willing to work on them. She has accomplished a lot and we wish her continued success.
@@latoyabaker6302coach Francis is not running around saying anything..The reporter ask him a question and he answered it...I am a big Elaine fan too but she made a stupid career ending decision by leaving her coach just as she was about to break the world record simply to earn all the money that would have gone to coach Francis and MVP and now it's is being shared with her husband coach and grandmother who firmly believe that her prayers alone would have bring Elaine more success..and her husband had hope to be her coach when she set a new 100 meters world record and that would have made him famous as a coach.but it's over for Elaine nobody can do for her what Coach Francis did
@dondada5733 As a professional coach Francis should of gave a professional answer instead of a drama queen answer. Elaine could of came out and also gave a drama queen answer but silence is golden. Elaine was asked in interviews if she would go back to MVP and she answered it professionally saying she is happy where she is, she could of degraded Francis.
@@dondada5733 : *Like @marlobrooks5998 said, at what point in your career should you know what to do and how to do it? Needing coaching after 10 plus years of coaching tells me there's more going on other than coaching in a camp.*
The hardest thing is to have a client or athlete who is un-coachable and in a toxic relationship. It's hard to do your job well when a spouse or family member acts like a coach even when they are not seeing results. They hold on to loyalty instead of common sense. I wish her peace and good health. Such a shame.
That coach is hurt by this athlete’s disloyalty. As an athlete I understand the position the coach is in and how he is feeling. All the best to Elaine!
Elaine Thompson-Herrah is such an accomplished female Jamaican sprinter that if she decides to retire at this time, her name would remain a household name when it comes to sprinting. In fact, she currently holds the record as being the second fastest in the women's 100m dash in a time of 10.54 secs. Furthermore, she is the second woman to win the sprint double (100m & 200m) in the same Olympic games, the 2016 Olympics in Rio; Florence Griffith- Joyner was the first to win this event in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. Unfortunately, her career suffered some setbacks from 2017-2019 due to nagging injuries. Nevertheless, throughout the entire ordeal, Elaine persevered and went on to shut the mouths of the naysayers by defeating Shelly-Ann Fraser (the overwhelming favorite) in the 100m at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan in a time of 10.61sec. She later defended her Olympic title in the sprint double; becoming the FIRST FEMALE sprinter to accomplish this feat at consecutive Olympics, and the SECOND SPRINTER (male/female) in history to do this, following in the footsteps of the great, Usain Bolt. As if that wasn't enough, she went on to help her team win the gold medal in the women's 4x100m relay, all in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Half or most of the people talking don't really know, or can't identify what athletes go through, and that's why their comments are so INSENSITIVE. My daughter is an athlete, so I experienced the highs and lows of track and field first-hand. I've watched people jump on the bandwagon when she was healthy and winning; then, watched them dismiss her when she was injured and struggling. With that being said, my suggestion to many of the naysayers is simply this, first, let's be sensitive in our commentary. Next, remember Elaine's contribution to the sport; and more importantly, keep Elaine in prayer asking for God's guidance as she navigates through this difficult season in her career.
I do believe that Francis still want to coach Elaine because he has a soft spot for her.He just wants her to show a bit more respect and humility and i am sure he will be back as her coach.
The damage has already been done! Having said that "Never let the pain of the past nor fear of the future ruin your happiness of the present." In life, we all fall at some point, sometimes repeatedly. However, each time we fall we just have to learn from the experience, and get up and try again.
There’s definitely some truth to this because she was literally the best in the world and then after leaving everything went down hill. I like Elaine and I hope she finds the right coach again
I don't understand why they keep asking him if he will take back Elaine when she did not say she wants to go back. The media just love to push drama. They should give it a rest already.
nothing wrong with the question eiher. The more he answers it the more we will get the he wants nothing to do with her. Somany times we forget the hand that honed us,husband must be husband not coach .
No, don't let it rest. We want to save her career. Even if she doesn't go back to Francis, there are other good coaches available. She needs to drop her husband (as her coach).
Elaine and Shelly looks like they also have issues suh maybe it is said 2 bull can't reign inna one pen, an di puma deal cud be another thing. But it jus sad still.... shi reigned for a while , hope to see a sudden bounce back after she sort this out carefully
I said this under many videos posted online that Elaine will allow her husband to taint her career and slow her down drastically. 1 Elaine husband is not a certified, reputable coach with years of experience. Mr Francis is a genius and he’s been here for over 40 yrs. Mr Francis is a big respectable man, he knows what he’s doing. I told ppl that she won’t make it in 2023 at all and I was right. Also I am praying that 2024, she will rise. Or she will go down bad. Elaine never gave her coach any credits honestly, this lady never big up her coach, if the interviewer doesn’t ask, she won’t speak on it. Gratitude is a huge thing in my household. I saw this coming a mile away. She needs to fire her husband as her coach and go apologize to Franno.
U need to hear her side ..plus u dnt wish bad for anyone ..if sometin happen in ur life u have to be the one to fix the solution..bcz u dnt knw wat happens on her side.
Why conclude based in Francis story? Bolt went through so many bad patches, but no one ever questioned his coach....What if Elaine was fit and running fast today? I am sure this was going to be a different story. We need to stop the pulling as 40yrs experience may not always be the winner. We are doing more damage to this young lady....Social media is one of the most dangerous tool.....Do you think anyone can tell you that your husband is no good and not certified to aid your success?
@vpp5001 I love ur speech,,bcz she lef & he dnt hear her given him the praise for her career..plus he have elaine up to his neck ..bcz of her decision..why whn shellyann leave he didn't say these stuff..glad u put this girl in her place
Why dont u join his camp and win medals for Jamaica....I am sick anD tired of all the couch potatoes telling ppl what to do...If she decides not to run another day in her life, thats her business she still has her goals and fastest times....let it GOOOOOOO
most time some Jamaicans never really show any gratitude toward the person who helped them along the way sometimes when they find a new friend or someone new comes in their life they actually dumped you and connect to that person who they never really know that's just the way how they are sad to say it like that but that's just the way how it is💯🇯🇲🇺🇸🙄🧐🤨🤓😁🤔😲👍
Jamaicans are very ungrateful people. I am not a Jamaican but in every Jamaican friend that I have had and helped once there are on their feet, you see another side to them. It never fails!😢😢
Every one is reading too much into this. Just because Elaine left this coach, it does not mean her career is over. She's injured! She needs time to heal. Her husband is a coach. This move may be the best move for her in the long run. That remains to be seen. Give it time. Changing coaches sometimes results in growing pains. I will reserve my judgment until after she is healthy. We don't know how this will turn out yet. Much respect to Elaine and Stephen Francis.
Excuse me She has consistently gone DOWNHILL it's 2 yrs now WHERE ARE THE POSITIVE RESULTS? Wrong Move! Elaine's HUSBAND IS THE PROBLEM ! Let him go coach cockroach Not our Manchester girl Elaine Him mess har up
If that's the case, her husband is selfish and don't want the best for her. Obviously his coaching strategies are not working for her but I'm hoping her form will regain for the Olympic. I love Elaine as an athlete.
I also love Elaine--especially as a Manchester girl. I think the decision that she made using her husband as 'coach' has messed her up completely He doesn't have any idea how to maintain the level of professionalism and hard work that's Francis put into getting Elaine to The high-level that she had attained
Stephen Francis means that Elaine didn't give him and MVP credit by not wanting to share that PUMA shoe contract money with them. Elaine had no problem paying 10% of that Nike contract because she was probably paying MVP less than $50,000 a year, but when Puma came with those millions, Elaine and her husband didn't want to share that 10% wealth, which probably would have been worth at least $250,000 per year to MVP. You often get what you pay for. Elaine didn't want to keep paying for an excellent coach and MVP team program that nurtured her from her teenage years to repeat double Olympic champion to save money, but at what costs? Under MVP she had a chance to three-peat as double Olympic sprint champion at Paris 2024, but I doubt that will happen now. Elaine should have shared the wealth with the people who helped her get the multi-million Puma contract. It was for so much money Nike let Elaine walk away because they were not going to match it. Bob Kersee is getting 10% of Sydney McLauglin's multi-million dollar New Balance shoe contract as her coach, so why should Stephen Francis be different?
From she announced that she is going let her husband train her,I know things will never be the same, she will regret this because she will never be the same, I wish her the best of luck still,but her future doesn't look bright as it is now,
Money is the last thing a coach with his success would care about. Usain bolt never stopped talking about coach Francis through the turbulent years when Usain was flooded with doubters about big competitions like the 2nd and 3rd Olympics were approaching. Elaine became the only woman since flow Jo to run 10.54. I think THAT alone would be worthy of at least some sort of mention. 😊
I appreciated this video, this clarifies that it isn’t about being vindictive or unforgiving but simply untenable, just won’t work practically speaking. I wish her the best of luck, it would be a shame if her light were to dim so soon, she has the talent and ability so everything is possible with the right guidance.
I DONT THINK ELAINE CRAES ABOUT YOUR OPINION.....SHE STILL HAS HER GOALS AND MONEY...DUTTY JAMAICANS WHO CONTRIBUTE NOTHING BUT TALK ALWAYS GOT THE MOST TO SAY.......I REMEMBER OTTEY HAD US ON THE MAP FOR YEARS AND THE SAME OLD DUTTY JAMAICANS WHO DO NTN FOR JAMAICA CALLED HER SILVER QUEEN....I THINK ELAINE WILL BE FINE WHETHER SHE DECIDE TO RUN AGAIN OR NOT
@@123kymar why the agression, of course Elaine doesn’t care about my opinion or any of our opinions, she doesn’t know me so why would she?! I have the greatest of respect for Elaine and maintain that she is a talent to be reckon with. I’m simply glad that there was some clarity given behind some statements that were made as to why she wouldn’t be welcomed back to MVP. Talent isn’t everything to achieve at the highest so I hope Elaine gets the right support and guidance for her to continue to shine. I won’t stop supporting her just because she is not on top now. (Capitals, gives the impression you’re shouting)
She is my favorite Jamaican female sprinter. She is in a very tough position which I think was pointed out well. Peace and harmony at home has to be taken into consideration. If her husband is indeed the reason she has fallen off lately then it is up to him, not her, to step aside and let someone who got her to the #1 spot get her there again.
I'm happy to see this interview not only what highlights Elaine as a head strong person who some of the time doesn't listen, but i draw from this that Elaine is really an exceptional athlete who even throughout her injury prone career has some what managed to dominate the best. When Elaine doesn't do well and it's attributed to injury, people are always saying that's always the excuse when she doesn't do well. Now you've heard it from the mouth of her ex-coach that a fine tuned athlete such as Elaine is prone to injury, in fact injury has always been there but just properly managed. What Elaine now needs to do is get her injuries properly managed again and stop coaching herself because based on an interview i saw she didn't call her husband coach but said he oversees her training. So she needs to find herself a good coach and she should be back on top.
Very informative vide. Truth is always the only way, and we all heard what coach Francis said from his own mouth. He said he felt sorry for Elaine which is contrary to what a lot of videos are implying. Hopefully Elaine will learn from this. I am not her biggest fan but I truly wish her well In her future.
Wishing her all the best! Sometimes as successful people we don’t properly vet the romantic interests latching on to our success only to usurp our energy. The silver lining is that she is strong even with all of this abs already a legend but she is a much needed champ that can drive not only herself but others to greatness!!
Agree@myrtle7043 that her husband needs to take a seat. Clearly she doesn't have a say but saying Francis seems to be a father figure😮why so many athletes leave him. If your heard Melanie's interview you would understand 😮
That's spot on, I made a comment a long time ago. Stating,the moment she got married. If hubby boy interferes,,,, that's it. Period. It's come to pass. So sorry for Elaine. Hopefully she
Her window to extend her greatness is slowly closing….her coach was balanced and respectful in his responses to the technical, tactical and external condition that have served to hinder her trajectory. Yet still I am sure there are versions that are counter to my third party observations, that these social platforms will never be privy to….
In my opinion, these are situations that can potentially devastate an athlete, particularly if they do not possess strong mental resilience. It is my hope that Elaine has the wisdom to not allow social media to influence her unduly. In this era, it seems as if everyone has an opinion! As with all stories, there are several perspectives, and we are currently privy to just one side. Although there may be some facts stated, ultimately, the decision rests with Elaine. In my view, a reconciliation with Francis could be possible, should Elaine choose to humble herself and offer an apology. Regardless of the outcome, my foremost hope is for her to overcome these obstacles and be fully prepared for 2024.
That man is Ruining Elaine's future in every way,he's not good for her,and she knows but she's not strong enough to speak up he's gonna ruin her career and he's not even all of that it's words on the street people and that's what's breaking this kind and humble lady spirit just for the name of love...why?
But has Elaine states anywhere that she wants to return????? She’s very accomplished. Anything that happens here on now she’s still in the history books .
Elanie needs to apologize, quit her husband as the coach, and return to the MVP. Her husband is not doing a good job and is only stifling a good athlete who could possible become one of the greatest ever. Everyone makes mistakes and it would only be nice if she genuinely apologize and Steven Francis accept her apology and forgive her. She needs HELP! Don't let a good athlete die.
@@tripleb1960 she said some really mean things about the MVP and the coach. I just want her to get back in form and her husband cant do that. Time to apologize and return to the star she is
@@ellistonmclean939 I've watched almost every interview with Elaine since she left MVP in October 2021 and I don't remember her saying "some really mean things about Stephen Francis and MVP" as you recall. Can you share those interviews with me Please? Or point me in the direction of them Please?
Such a lie..I watched interview with miss Kitty where she thanked MVP and acknowledged her development by them . Such a short term memory...He could have taken her back and fix her and prove to the world that it's her husband is the problem. ..she is not the first to leave MVP..but such is life.. she shall rise again
I said it though, her husband could never have good intentions for her. I remember her interview with Miss Kitty she basically training herself. Even so, Elaine should have a mind of her own to know what is best for her as well even if her husband is saying one thing.
Hopefully she come to realize that he's sabotaging her career 😢😢 some spouses are not happy about their spouses accomplishments...it's a Jealous an bad mind..I hope she take the blinders off and see the truth..what a shame that he can't see her success iis also his..💯🇯🇲🖤👍🏾..
Look, she was at the top of the mountain and felt that she could make the move she made, regardless of whatever else was factoring into the situation that the public is not aware of. As a grown woman she made that choice. Hindsight is a hell of a thing, and in hindsight many of us fans and maybe even Elaine and Francis and company could say that perhaps too many bridges were burnt. However, all involved can still dedide that those same bridges could, can and should perhaps be rebuilt for the sake of giving a full and complete attempt at making history (break those impossible World Records), That is what I think is the professional thing to do, and the most powerful thing to do...not many people will have what it takes to do that, but there are definitely famous athletes who broke up with their coaches and returned to do the impossible (some are even from Jamaica). Good luck to Elaine and her loved ones. Keep believing ,and the Jamaican people will support you.
Based on Stephen’s words in the clip you showed, he NEVER ONCE said husband or caller Elaine husband’s name. It can be reasonably concluded that the person Stephen referred to is indeed the husband BUT bro you must be careful when put content out. It can be a heavy cost to you if you don’t take note of small details like these. Just a friendly recommendation bro…keep putting out contents !! Big up!!
It is just like driving , never you allow your husband to teach you to drive She should never allow her husband to coach her. Please take her back coach Francis, we want to see her on the track doing great things.
This is just a broken relationship, broken beyond any realistic chance of repair. That's going to happen in life sometimes. Time for them to just both move on and wish each other the best. No need to talk about it any more in public.
Well I think Coach Stephen Francis is right because Miss Elaine Herah is going to listen more to her husband who is also a Coach and so I understand what Mr Stephen Francis is saying so no matter what Stephen Francis is the best Track and field Sprint Coach in Jamaica!but Elaine a my runner but she have to live with the consequences of losing a good sprint Coach that live and I wish her the very best in the future of athletics
I said this when I found out that her husband would be training her. She should have gone to another track club if she did not want to stay in the Steven Francis camp. How much experience in coaching does her husband have?
As a Jamaican i love and appreciate all our atlethes whether they are a winner or a loser and i honestly dont believe they are loser because it takes alot for them to accomplish their goals. I also understand her former coach to be that person with you from the get go and suddenly when success happen u just get up and forget who was with you in the beginning that got to hurt...
I remember her husband running at Champs. Dont remember his as a coach. But the bigger issue is her health and im not sure why she doesnt get the best medical advice from medical professionals, whomever her coach is.
Time and time again I hear this about Jamaican track superstar. They don’t like listening to their coaches who turned them into a superstar; when it comes to injuries. I heard the same about Yohan when he was at Races.
I believe Francis is in his feelings, you all cannot blame her and forget about her like that, and we all understand what is discipline, so you all can still reach out to her and help her to achieve and improve her life.
Never let love get in the way of business,.... you have to find a balance between the two. In her case resisting pressure interference from her new husband, would have been the right decision to maintain her career.
Elaine is soo accomplished and I sincerely hope she hasn't unofficially retired. Mr Francis is absolutely right- she cannot have two voices to listen to. Her husband is a coach and in any case all husbands want to be the loudest voice in his wife's head regarding her coaching etc. It would take a very humble man to step back. However, I don't think it would be a bad idea for her to acknowledge the contribution of coach Francis and the others even after all this time - we never know how life is going to turn out - never burn bridges, build them - you might have a need to cross it again because nobody knows how life is going to turn out!
It doesn't only have to do with training, I dont think the Jamaican female team is supportive, these things have alot to do with peer pressure and the quality of work one puts in, regardless they should be a team, you did us proud 👏 Elaine one ❤
It's amazing how people can put you on a pedestal. And then bring you down like you haven't work yourself to death almost. To get to where you are where is the love of God in people.
I saw this coming. She is so vulnerable and I think her husband took advantage of her. I wish for her the best moving forward. BUT, girl just swalla your pride and go back to 'FRANO' he is the best in the business! NO JOKE!
Just for give her she doesn't know what she is doing Just talk to God and ask him it u to take her back and just continue to do best for your team and jamaica God bless u🙏
Regardless of what Coach Francis stated, ETH self-destruct!! Credit for success and responsibility for failure.........are your own. It is the individual who makes the final decision.
Ladies! Stop marrying "potential" Stop building a _team_ where only you are the meal ticket. Stop marrying the help and giving folks positions over your career that they are not qualified for nor deserve to manage. GoElaine!🏃🏾♀️🥇
Well all respect to coach Francis. All need is for Coach Francis and Coach Mills to pour their knowledge in some younger coaches so Jamaican track and field will continue to flourish and this can only add to their illustrious legacy.
