I was watching the 2016 combine, and Deion Sanders made an interesting comment that really stood out to me:
“Just run, you have been running since you were a kid. Just run.”
Once, my former track coach visited my gym and told me that kids are being inundated with all sorts of drills and forgot to be fast.
No matter how many many drills you learn, just run and be fast, that’s it. That’s the intent that I ask of all my athletes.
“Coach, am I doing this right? Am I bringing my knees too high?”
Damn it! JUST RUN AND BE FAST!
