🚨 The final article from my thesis 📇 has been published ahead of print in @NSCASCJonline … We attempted to fill a gap in the ‘research-to-practice’ lit, and translate the F-v data 🧮 collected into actionable coaching @Williams_Kym_ @craig100m @ShapeResearch @Flinders

11th fastest miller (short track) of all time … Great to write this piece about the upcoming NZ middle distance star Sam Ruthe 🏃♂️@ConversationEDU
With the under-18 indoor mile world record under his belt, 16-year-old Sam Ruthe is poised for greatness. He also has modern coaching and shoe tech on his side. @dylhicks @FlindersUniNews theconversation.com/how-far-…
Thankyou @Tatopek1 🙌
🆕"This review highlights the overall complexity of understanding coordination patterns in sprinting across the ACC & Vel Max phases, plus challenges the concept of an ‘optimal’ sprint technique"

Despite a pre-season injury, LeBron James is still set to make history not long after the new #NBA season tips off tomorrow.
How is he still so great when science says he should be slowing down?

New by Donaldson @neilbezodis @HelenBayneZA “Relationships between coordination, strength and performance during initial sprint acceleration” tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
I was fortunate to have been invited to write this piece for The Conversation on the science behind Gout Gout’s incredible speed! From step length 🦶🏽 to elastic energy ⏫️⏫️, I break down the key factors that make the 17yo one of the fastest sprinters 🏃♂️ in the world 🗺️ .
Gout Gout is challenging some conventional sprinting paradigms – namely that raw power and muscle mass are the primary determinants of speed. @dylhicks @FlindersUniNews theconversation.com/step-len…
🚨I have been analysing @AustralianAths sprint sensation Gout Gout’s 🥇recent 200m performance in Brisbane, 19.98 (+3.6), for another project but on the back of the @Channel7 Spotlight 💡Sunday night … When his sub-20 sec run is broken down these are the numbers📊…
The numbers are one piece of the puzzle 🧩 but Gout’s coordination and control at max velocity and the way his feet interact with the track are truly unique.
Can’t wait to see what he does next!

In skill acquisition, many coaches and athletes believe there is one optimal technique to copy. But this approach ignores a crucial reality. @dylhicks @FlindersUniNews theconversation.com/shoot-it…
Does the optimal technique exist? 🏀⚽️🏈🎾… A recent piece I wrote for ‘The Conversation’ 📖 @FlindersUniNews @Flinders @ConversationEDU theconversation.com/shoot-it…
Recently received this gift from a friend who purchased this tee at the Oslo @WorldAthletics meet in ‘96 … iconic image of @MJGold on the blocks … top has never been worn 💪 @adidas

A meeting in space and time just the way I like them… So the 20.06 Australian 🇦🇺 200m record set by Peter Norman in Mexico 1968 stood 56 years… It is now in Gout Gout’s hands, currently at 20.04, as we wait for him to bring it under 20 seconds and beyond into infinity…
GOUT OF THIS WORLD 🌏🌏
In 20.04-seconds, 16-year-old Gout Gout has sprinted into athletics history as Australia's fastest ever man over 200m, taking down Peter Norman’s Australian record of 20.06 from the 1968 Olympic Games.
20.04 (+1.5). The oldest record in the books is gone.
