“ Watch Christian Coleman man.. his starts are phenomenal!”
Kenny is like “Yeah.. no fucking shit...”

i would get mad if my coach said "watch christian coleman, he is phenomenal"... i mean is there a sprinter in this world who doesnt watch coleman starts and study him?

He runs a wind legal 19.8 and a wind aided 19.49 and y’all trying to coach him 😂😂

Sometimes I realized with a lot of history of African American sports, and being a Black man at an all Black hs. No one tells or pushes Black athletes to work on the “ student” side of student athlete. Here Bednarek looked physically mature, yet wasn’t academically eligible for scholarship —- which has low standard for athletes to begin with. Angel Reese, Derrick Rose, there’s a strong trend of our athletes with poor academics.

His coach wants him to improve his start but he’s doing block starts without spikes? No hate but he ain’t gonna improve like this.

Dang i got to see him at the wisco state meet! I expected him to go pro, but he still is suprising me on the daily.

It seems like he’s running tight way too long, like the entire way through. He’s pushing from beginning to the end. Once, he learns how to relax after the start he’s going to do just fine. I only noticed one gear all the way through his practice runs.

I love watching this man! He's one of my favorite local legends.

You're still taking a side step on your start. Get that fixed and you will be awesome.

Come on, get him an actual stimulus to respond to. Throw a quarter on the track. Use wood blocks. Do something other that "GO".

[jadezee]

HE is a big guy....much bigger than the average
