Three time champ came in clutch even when at adversity that’s what winners do 🥇

Matthew Boling will have to run something very special to make the USA team for the World championships in the 200m but in the 400m he can run more relaxed and maybe make the team in the 4 x 400m relay if not the individual event.

just shows how amazing abby steiner is. wasnt she up over 55 events that one year and still putting up amazing times

I haven't caught all his races, but this 200 reminded me of his high school running. Smooth and fast! (Great start, too!)

I will say this until my face turns purple, the 400m is literally Matthew Boling’s best event. He has consistently ran 45 mid to low in his 4x4 lead off legs. And he’s consistently ran mid 45 in the open race. I wish he would run it more cuz he could honestly be like another Jeremy Wariner

@TotalRunningProductions, please do a video on Adaejah Hodge. At only 16th are old, she ran a 22.33 HS 200m record at the New Balance Indoor HS Nationals. This was a 0.58 improvement over the 22.91 record set by Shawnti Jackson last month. Also, the 22.33 would have placed Adaejah Hodge 3rd at this years NCAAs. Lastly, It it should also be noted that it was only back in 2008 that Bianca Knight set the indoor NCAA record at 22.40. So to have a high schooler achieving such a performance is worth acknowledging. It will be interesting to see what she does outdoors.

You can take this as urban legend, but I heard about a study, where they took sprinters and told them to run as fast as they could. They took the time, add a couple tenths of a second to it, and told him to run 95%, try to run the slower time. They all ran faster than when they were going all out

Frank Fredericks 19.92 only sub 20 indoor 200m still stands after 27 years.

This is one of the best overall coverages of Matthew's late history. Well done.

9.80 ,19.80 AND 44.50..GREETINGS FRON THE PHILIPPINES TRP

Versatility is what makes him so valuable and people tend to look at just his running events. It's the fact that he's so good at the long jump along with the 60,the 100,the 200 and the 400. On top of that, you haven't even mentioned the relays. He just has the whole package and has lived up to expectations since high school. What's scarier is that I think he'll continue to improve. Always keeping up with the channel. Great work!

Boling is in the middle of doing what I envisioned the ultimate route for Jeremy Wariner should have been.There was never any doubt as to Wariner's greyhound sleekness and high speed glide but as to his approach as he neared Johnson's record at the time I knew he needed to improve his 100/200/300 ultimates.I don't believe he ever worked competitively on either(certainly not extensively as Boling has done).Consequently even with his world and Olympic golds he never broke Michael Johnson's record though he still probably has one of the top 5 fastest oval sprints.Boling on the other hand started in high school with 400m intent but decided on a major shift to the 100/200 in his senior year at Strake during which time he ran the 9.98,10.1,10.13. For the last three seasons then he's progressed steadily into the sub 10,sub 20,8m+ club but has not focused on the 400m particularly at all.Now I sense he's begun a proper transition.So it's extremely necessary he continues spot competing and advancing his shorter oval race skills but only to fuel his best destinies which are the 400/LJ and maybe with more expertise coaching and training the 200m.

Every time I ran my best, my legs always felt fluid yet quick to reset in the forward position and add just the right amount of pressure going under me. I never analyzed past this yet in reflection, my starting muscles were toe-in and moved to another set of muscles that applied pressure similar to how rowers stay in sync. I feel this awareness of which muscle groups I engage and which I relax are key to preventing injury and cramp ups yet give room to inch a little more speed. I also remember head to toe, no muscles tense. I sense the tense muscles also distract from amplifying the self awareness of fine tuning body mechanics, timing, and high resolution of muscle control. In essence, mind floating like a yoga master, tuned in to only key elements toward perfect form and physique. A complete mental silence in the middle of sensory distractions such as noise, heat, cold, light, dark, and any other distractions completely ignored as unimportant and forgotten.

Michael Johnson was my absolute hero when I was running as a young bloke. His form was something to behold.

I can relate to this burnout, my senior year of highschool from indoor and outdoor I competed in 55 races 😭 Yes of course they’re not as elite as collegiate times but i ran indoor November-February and I peaked in December and then outdoor I ran March-July and I peaked in April, so this year I’m definitely not running as much.

I said the same about Abby Steiner. She ran so many more races that at Worlds she was a tick slow but still incredible. It’s difficult to peak at Indoor, SECs, NCAAs, World Team Trails, and Worlds in one year

Boling's PB long jump would have gotten him the 2020 Olympic Bronze Medal.

You definitely must relax when sprinting and I have coached this for years at the AAU and USATF levels

I hope he does indeed peak later this year... he has so much natural speed- and as he gets physically stronger year on year, he's gonna be quite something, perhaps peaking at the next Oly's- and maybe 2028... As for what he could run... 9.8 something, 19.7 something and 43.6

He has so much power but he's all over the track at times.

Carl Lewis used to say that he only ran at 85% when racing because running any harder would slow you down.

I love this young man like a son.

I have often wondered whether the qigong practice of zhan zhuang (post standing) would help sprinters like Boling relax at maximum exertion. Post standing teaches you how to relax under stress.

Energy and time are a byproduct of getting into the flow which is equitable to tempo or frequency/rhythm.

he clutched fr

Go Georgia! Great job Boling! This season is starting off rough for him but he keeps going.

It will be nice to see him breaking is PB in both the 100 & 200 meters this year. Maybe 9.90 in 100m & 19.75 in 200m's.

When I was in HS I was leaned on for all sprinting events as well as several jumps. There was a limit of 4 events per athlete per meet, except that for regionals the pole vault was usually held on a different day at a different venue… so it was deemed that pole vaulters could compete in 4 additional events on the second day at the other venue. So, I did 5 events and scored the most points of any athlete on my team. But, yeah, that’s draining. That 5th event was always on the track and I never felt 100% for it. I didn’t do the workload over the same number of months that D1 collegiate athletes do… but I can attest to the difficulty of being asked to run everything all the time.

He has gotten more relaxed but I feel like he could still be even more relaxed. If he gets full Bolt relaxed, he'll be flying

If he continues to run relaxed and peak during the outdoor season, we could see consistent sub 20.00s for sure and a few sub 19.90s and maybe a sub 19.85.

It was no upset as Mat can beat anyone on his day! I knew he could do it as I've said numerous times on this channel!

June, July and August is pretty much a 90 day stretch…of competition….how many races ? He should pick his days to race, the number of races, not the maximum, to beat his prior personal bests ! Thanks for the rundown. 👍🏻

Like the editing on the vid man.

He's a good match for my friend Abby from Kentucky! She can teach Matthew a little bit, and the same for him too! Him and Her would be magical in the future! It's amazing how much influence they can have to show each other! Love it!!

"as though he was having a heart attack"... hahahahha, had me rolling with that one.

All the haters are coming in 3...2...1...

Dude is so dominate at so many events. Hopefully he finds his one event and really kills it.

This weekend at the Texas Relays in Austin, Tx.

Never been a sprinter other than a winger in soccer but I could always outrun everybody to the ball when loose and limber, even at 50 playing against college players. It goes with this thinking of "relaxed" but it might be more accurate to be "loose" in the hips and flexible. Its the same thing this guy repeatedly says about Boling, but a different way of looking at it. Loose and quick in the hips not "relaxed" exactly, its the same idea but different frame of mind. Extensive flexibility training does allow quickness. I could never have the top speed any of these guys, Boling is gifted, and I dont have the natural ability any of these guys have, but I do know how to get the most out of what I have. Boling has a really good coach, but sometimes its hard to understand and perform the way you want to unless you can understand the concept in your own way.

A throwdown to all the haters that counted him out! Not only has his form improved since last year but he is finally periodizing his schedule to peak at the right times. As I said in one of your previous videos, he is going to make the world championship team...bank on it!

The MB haters gonna go bat shit crazy over this production - LMAO - getting popcorn now!!

You should do a video on the hs new balance 5k race that just happened, crazy race with super fast times

Can you make some coverage about the 26:33 from aregawi over the 10k having to run 9.4 k solo

What a surprise win or maybe just a veteran gamesmanship!

GET SMOKED BY THAT WHITE CHOCOLATE, BOYS! Lmao 😂🤦

His start? Curious about whether his start has improved. If he can get up to top speed faster, he has the turnover. He's starting to relax and if he keeps this up he will develop to USA relay speed at least

On ya Matty,way pleased

Man, I wish there was a channel like this for swimming

He will "win" more by competing less!! thats for sure... Go Matthew!! Thee is some serious science to traing to peak ones performance at the right time.....

Sorry for the random comment but is Terrance laird still racing?

This is pretty interesting because talking about indoor over outdoor is moving the goalposts a bit because nobody in the history of indoor track and field is talked about over outdoor runners. What are his outdoor times and how many championships did he win ?

Being relaxed is the most important thing. -- Carl Lewis

It will either be "when the planets aligned for Boiling" or he builds on his achievement. We shall see.

It would be a brilliant massive achievement for him to make the U.S 4x400 squad this year. Competition for places will be as stiff as ever. It always is, irrespective of which big names will not be running in the event in 2023.

I think we should listen to Michael Johnson.. True words.

Yes sir

19.76 and 9.90 going to be a GREAT FOR HIM..

At the 100m Bolling will run a pb of 9.89, and for the 200m he will run 20.08 as a new personal best. The 400m will also be an improvement for this young athlete, I think he will improve this distance the most, up to a pb of 44.98. Mathew Boling is just at the beginning of his career, and has 6 more years to improve his self. There is so much profit to make, and earn on his technical capabilities that if he can make these improvements he will be the new gold medalist at the Olympics. Believe me!!! 😃

He seems to be focusing on the 200m so realistically he can hit 19.8, a high 19.7 would be extreme. On the 100m mid 9.9 should be a fair time.

Hi warren, from Australia been following Matthews, progress for the last few years now love to see him do an Allen Wells and win and win a medal at the Olympics for a white man

Caryl is definitely all over this. 👍

Track is worthy of these quality of videos.

44.90 1 st leg . Of x400. And 19.76 in 200. And 9.88 in 100 meters.

3:21 Lmao

The legs explode with energy, the push against the Earth, is Yang. Yin, when the leg is empty. filling the body, most relaxed, most explosive. Drop the tail bone and enjoy the drive!

TRP!!!

Breath control, ...you've got to focus on breath control and the form and speed will follow.

Run Matt Run!💥

He could go VERY FAR if he wants to switch to the 400m and LJ. But hey, he is young and You have to like what you do. He is still top tier, the US is just crazy stacked when it comes to the 100m and 200m.

Bolling is such a wellrounded beast. Sub 10 100, Sub 20 200, Good 400 untapped for now, Long Jump over 8.25. I mean, fuck, if he moved and competed for any non US team, he could not only be a pro sprinter, long jumper, relay, maybe even decathon over time ... and win many medals.

Hell yeah. 200m 19:79

Yeah I've been saying this for the past few years. There's no way you can give your absolute best performance being stretched out with all of those events he was participating in. Wayy too many. If he skip the long Jump and The 4x400 (wait until the ncaa championship) I think he'll go 19.8 /19.7. He most definitely has the potential but muscles need recovery. 5 events every tracc meet is wayyyy too much!

Finally Matthew and coaching team not burning him up. These schools need to win, but not at the expense of their superstars that they have nurtured so well. Wish you luck outdoors. Some hungry wolves are around again this year!

Matt is a great athlete.

Before I thought he was good. Now, it's beginning to look like he is special. Maybe not the next Carl Lewis triple gold, yet medals are in his future. It looks like he is earning it too, decent gifts yet a lot of hard/smart work. He will be a great team mate on Team USA.

He has amazing talent in sprints, and I'm going to say it, for a white man. And he still has much room to improve on his form, which bodes well for future faster times.

He had a great start

Great video!!🔥🔥

Bolling tenses up when he senses he's about to lose from what I have noticed and that's after the race has started, I'm not talking about prep...It seems that about three times a year TRP puts out another "Mathew Boling is about to break loose" video. I quit believing or waiting for Mathew to bring it but I hope I am wrong

Do a video on Dodi he deserves it. Such a come up from hs

Broooo Christian made the fn thumbnail!!!!!! Thats a dub

9.94, 19.76, and 44.10

Boling runs with intensity much like Tyson Gay. They approach their craft in a all business manner whereas other sprinters like Noah Lyles and Andre De Grasse tend to joke around.

I think that making Matt's running struggles a one dimensional issue lacks nuance. I understand you're a huge fan, and you should be given 1) He's a great sprinter and 2) he's a white athlete in a sport dominated by black people. Burnout is something all athletes experience as the season progresses. I hope he does as well as you think he will. 👍🏾

9.87 and 19.74

In both indoor 200 meter championships (last year and this), he also benefited from being in the outside lanes. The very outside lane in this years event. All the fastest times were done by all the competitors in the outside two lanes. So much easier to run fast in those lanes than the inside lanes. I keep going back and forth with what I think his potential actually is, because there are flashes of real progress, and then there are the disappointing results that always seem to follow. Perhaps he was just over worked, and this year will be different. With my skepticism in my mind, I often wonder if he would be a better fit for the open 400 meters?

Nice vídeo 🙌🏿🙏🏿

Well I hope he can covert his indoor times to the outdoor season in a field already stacked up with so much talent ! He will have to run 19.80 or less to have a chance.

Hahaha Boling should compete in the decathlon. He would win like 3 disciplines no problem lol

Way to go Matt.

9.90 and 19.80

Been hearing about Matt since his 9.98 In high school, and he stays on the pedestal even now

Exactly right, he peaked for the indoor championships, and his training is now geared toward a late season peak.

A banked indoor track big difference to a flat track

College athletes get used up.. they run what the coach says to get the win when it comes to championship time. They need a whole 6 months off. This was Boling best race ever. No unnecessary head movement,,, very fluid

With 19.92, looks like he already made the team

Matthew Boling is really your favorite athlete.

One of those races he crossed into the other lane

20.11

I hear experts all the time talk about how this runner is relaxed and that runner is not. Heck, they all look like they're straining, the winners and the losers 🤣🤣
