Sprint Culture - Where the heart of Sprinting actually beats.

Can track stars really go mainstream?  

Speed gets you respect. But does it make you famous?

In this episode we break down why Track & Field has struggled to create mainstream stars, why fast times alone may not be enough, and what athletes need to do if they want real market value outside the sport.

From content and personality to storytelling, brand deals, fan connection, and the difference between Olympic fame and everyday relevance — this is a conversation about what track needs next.

Is the sport failing its athletes, or do athletes need to market themselves better?

The panel doesn't land in the same place on everything. That tension is in the episode.

Sprint Culture - Where the heart of Sprinting actually beats.

Anson sits down with former Washington State sprint teammate Clay Thomas, CEO of ROOT Brands, to discuss performance, recovery, athlete health, and why Clay believes many athletes are leaving speed on the table.

There's the Athlete hat - And there's the Analyst hat.

Upon the World Indoor 60m Championship victory this season for Jordan Anthony, Canadian Olympic Gold Medallist and Sprint Culture regular Aaron Brown caught some flack for expressing his dislike for Jordan's energy towards athletes of the past.

In this episode, Aaron responds to the scrutiny, and we discuss the potential of the talk of the Sprint town right now, Jordan Anthony.

In this WatchAlong of the Men's 60m at the World Indoor Championships, we witness the arrival of former American Football player Jordan Anthony.

His open and honest confidence has rubbed some people the wrong way, including the veteran Sprinters who Jordan has clearly stated need to "Get out of the way."  

Is this the energy the Sprints need? 
As Aaron, Nethaneel and Anson watch, they discuss.

Sprint Culture - Where the heart of Sprinting actually beats.

World Record Holder Mondo Duplantis is clearly irritated with Field Events being left out of Michael Johnson's new Grand Slam Track League, as he express in his World Athlete of the Year acceptance speech recently at The World Athletics Awards.

Is this justified?  Perennial Triple Jump medallist Will Claye believes that it was justified, while Anson Henry did not.  
The discussion got heated...

Let's talk about it.
