533: Andrew Iselin on Lachlan Kennedy’s 9.85s 100m and Building World-Class Sprint Speed
Just Fly Performance PodcastShow Notes
In this episode, Andrew Iselin joins me to discuss athlete development, sprint coaching, and the value of exploration over rigid technical models.
We get into developing Lachlan Kennedy (9.85s 100m dash and Oceanic Record), coaching asymmetry, relaxation and sprint mechanics, game-based speed work, movement literacy, resisted sprinting, tempo training, and why coaches may need to “shut up” more often and give athletes space to self-organize.
