PreraceJitters.com speaks with one of the nation’s leading experts in the biomechanics of sports performance
”All of research and all of the years of application have shown us that if an athlete is to be successful at the level that we are seeking to achieve, no area of performance can be ignored. Since it has become evident that the development of explosive strength and the proper mechanics to deliver the power are the two most critical factors in sprint performance, ignoring either will guarantee that the athlete will not achieve their performance potential.” Dr.Ralph Mann

6 Reasons Why Track And Field Is Really So Different (TrackMom’s personal take on track&field)
- Track Athletes love the relays but hate to give up an individual gold for the collective gold (why would they?)
- Track Fans watch all of Track and Field Youth, High School, College and Elite sometimes not even knowing whose in the race; they know they can get the scoop on the race while waiting. They travel far distances, cheer great performances not just “a favorite team”
- Track Athletes don’t get the proper respect or pay for their amazing accomplishments, but many are getting paid to run professionally and signing deals everyday Bianca Knight Waiting For Shoe To Drop
- Track Fans understand track and field isn’t a team sport. All others need to.
- Track fans want to watch track and field events in their entirety no just 30 minutes of highlights before a golfing tournament.
- Track fans wonder why poker has it’s own cable channel and we don’t
