    less. For me as a coach one of my tasks is to help the athlete create the foundation of this in training in order to move to that place in competition
  • Susanne Kolkjær Sørensenhas quoted6 years ago
    Most athletes remember their personal bests as not being lung-busting, crippling, painful experiences but ones of balance. They might talk of ‘flow’, or ‘being in the zone’. Everything just clicked and it felt almost effort
  • Susanne Kolkjær Sørensenhas quoted6 years ago
    One of the reasons you must train repeatedly is so that you become more efficient and skilled at this speed of motion and eventually master the skills required to improve your performance. When this performance becomes so natural or automatic that you do it without consciously thinking about it, it becomes intrinsic as opposed to extrinsic. When a performance becomes intrinsic then there are other finer points that can be addressed, although these are broadly in the domain of the elite sprinters. We should focus here on mastering the mechanics to help us acquire the intrinsic skills, after which we can look to influence other factors such as neuromuscular response, reactions, timing, and flexibility
