If you’ve been down at the track lately, you’ve probably seen Ivy running. And if you’ve watched her do her drills, you know she’s got a perfect high knee and a beautiful straight leg bound. Clean, textbook mechanics.
But the second Ivy opens up into a full sprint? Everything changes. She leans forward, tilts her head, and her body twists a bit.
A lot of coaches would look at her sprint, compare it to her perfect drills, and immediately try to "fix" it.
But here is the huge piece of the puzzle they’d miss: Ivy is blind in one eye.
When she is doing a drill on the spot or moving slowly, her brain feels 100% safe. But when she’s flying down the straight at top speed, running with vision in only one eye means everything becomes a massive blur. Her body instantly changes her posture, tilting her head so her good eye can track the lane lines, and twisting her torso to balance her weight so she doesn't drift.
Her sprinting style isn't a mistake. It’s an incredibly smart adjustment her body made so she can actually stay in her lane and run fast without crashing. If I forced her to run completely straight and upright just to look like a textbook drawing, her brain would panic, pull the emergency brake, and she’d run slower.
This is exactly how I coach. I don’t care about generic theories, I coach the actual individual in front of me.
▫️If it’s a lazy, sloppy habit or bad mechanics that will cause an injury? We step in, crush it, and fix the leak. They will function correctly.
▫️But if it’s a smart adaptation to a physical trait? We don't fight it. We build on it and make it powerful.
Every athlete has a unique blueprint. My craft is looking at how their body actually moves, fix the real power leaks, and make them as fast and strong as possible within their own shape.
That’s why my athletes get results 🚀
And please, as a coach, let’s not jump into another coach's session to drop a few quick tips. We definitely don't all coach the same, so let's just stay in our own lanes and let everyone cook 🔥
