@BrendanThompsn With video of @crazylongjumper at world indoors and video of @FilippoTortu on the 4x100 anchor in Tokyo… the Italians are winning at “relaxed aggression”.

@AthWestchester @crazylongjumper @FilippoTortu They’re crushing it. I think the first time I remember seeing this is action was Tyson Gay. I used to see pictures of me and all of these muscles straining then I’d see him floating down the home stretch. Everything looked effortless… as does most elite sprinting.

@BrendanThompsn How else do you teach and cue this?

@KD_KyleDavey Comes with experience. Telling someone to relax is pretty vague. When I see someone is tense, I’ll look at them and loosely shake my arms out. They usually know that means they need to let go of any excess tension. It’s different for everyone though.

@BrendanThompsn Always figured that, can see her face versus the people she’s passing.

@BrendanThompsn “Relaxed aggression. Poetic violence.” Love that.

@BrendanThompsn Looks so smooth and effortless but fast

@BrendanThompsn I've always said that speed and power is right on the edge of controlled and wildly out of control, a perfect balance

@BrendanThompsn @Ethan10gomez this is what I was trying to explain to you at practice the other day. Study up!

@BrendanThompsn Absolutely wild how easy this looks for him and how hard this actually is to do

@BrendanThompsn If they did a slow-mo of me doing this exact thing it would not look the same.
