Olympic Coach Stuart McMillan On The Science Of Speed, Unlocking Your Body's True Potential & Why Sprinting Is The Ultimate Human Activity

We need to figure out why you are really good. So a good coach understands that you have to know a little bit about this, a little bit about that. What's my joint structure like? What's my fiber type like? What's the stiffness like?

What's my coordination like? We are going to move in ways that are determined and governed by the things that we are moving. If you're thinking your way through a 100-meter race or a 200-meter meter race, you're finished. There's no time for it. Can you just let it go and be peaceful?

And then just run free or bounce the rest of the way. It's very few and far between where these truly elite athletes are also the truly elite coaches. Hey everybody, welcome to the podcast. My guest today is Stuart McMillan, an elite track and field sprinting coach. who has guided the careers and mentored the lives of more than 70 Olympians over nine Olympic Games to a medal hall that totals over 30, which is more hardware than most countries.
