Coach Anderson joins us to educate us on a myriad of topics centered on speed. Vince is one of the very best sprints and hurdle coaches on the planet. His list of Olympians and All-Americans is off the charts. He is on my Mount Rushmore of sprint coaches. He is an absolute gentleman who isn’t afraid, to tell the truth. He first shares his experience as an architect and eventually made his way to Houston as a volunteer coach. He shows respect to all of his mentors driving him down a unique path to coaching. Coach Anderson goes on to educate the audience about how to select people to apprentice under for coaching. Vince lays out his thoughts about the 85% cross-over of great coaching. He then explains the concepts of self-evaluation. He then steers the conversation about how the 85% principle should be used as well for evaluating athletes and what they have in common. I get him to highlight the through-line for many of the great coaches he got to see, work with, or investigated over time. His answer is outstanding. He talks about his hatred for the word and concept of striding! Coach Anderson goes into detail about the importance of training the right concepts important to high performance. Coach talks about how to place and implement high velocity sprinting. He continues back taking us how to use periodization with maximum velocity sprinting throughout a season. Vince explains how over time his training has evolved from what it used to be earlier in his career. Coach gives us guard rails on what he does to lay out his daily training throughout the week. He goes on to give hyper details about how to implement rest in practice. Coach and I move the conversation to mental toughness within the practice and how to foster it during a session. Vince and I game out ideas on how to fix the American struggle in the 4x100 m relay. We create a structure that is viable and interesting. Something I how the USATF considers our suggestions.
