49.5 on the first lap at the high school level is insane. Johnny Gray used to do that and occasionally get away with it at the international level, but he too had many a race that ended up like this, barely walking over the finish line. As @Michael Pleasants alluded to, that last 200 you carry a piano home with you.

@Dave-lr2wo Жыл бұрын

@@meisterlymanu5214 0. It's important to fail. It's important to be willing to fail. Failure is growth opportunity. 1. The guy has a PR of 1:51. He's obviously run the race before. He wanted to take the risk. 2. A "running career" is not equal to one race. A running career is a "series of races". 3. I have coached many kids and competed many times with people unwilling to run without fear and there is more to be gained in the long term by running a race with sheer commitment and failing than running a thousand races fearfully or conservatively. 4. As I stated in the original post -- major kudos to this athlete for trying. Yes, he could have been more tactical, but he obviously felt strong and wanted to test himself. It shows real character to go for it like that.

They say "no guts no glory". Well, on that day, Mr Good embodied that. What a gutsy performance by this young man. He's a brave soul who's fearless. I dont know if thats his normal race tactic (to go out hard & fast), but that day, he went hard. Completely unafraid & bold. I applaud the young man because he literally left it all on the track. Keep your head up and keep getting better, Mr Good. 💪🏾🤜🏾

@TheSecondWitness Жыл бұрын

I agree. What that young man did was put it all on the line. I don’t care that he didn’t finish first, and he shouldn’t either. He will continue to get better and better, but he’ll always remember he gave it his all for this race. To do what he did, going through in 49.5, its almost unreal. His ability is phenomenal. With time and training and building strength, he can be an elite runner at the international level. Great job.
