Take a 400-meter runner, for example. If I can get them to run faster for a 10-meter segment, it means when they run the 400, the first 200 of the 400 at that same pace will be much more relaxed, resulting in a better second 200, which in turn produces a faster time overall.<br><br>BFS: Do the best sprinters have a specific personality compared to other athletes? Do they tend to be high-strung?<br>DS: Sprinters come in all personality types. I ve had some extremely talented and successful athletes who were not very aggressive, but were outstanding sprinters.

I find that until they can elevate their strength level
