Things Our Son Will Probably Not Do: 1. Be a World Class Sprinter

I don't understand why parents on TV tell their kids that with hard work they can do anything they set their hearts on.



"During the drive phase, Bolt and the rest of the runners are all leaning forward at an unsustainable tilt, their torsos out ahead of where their feet impact the ground. They are basically in the act of falling down, face-first, but their legs, racing against gravity, are preventing that from happening, propelling them forward so hard and so fast that their bodies, instead of face-planting, begin to slowly rise up into a full upright position."
