when an athlete is accelerating they're on the ground for a little bit longer than when they are upright because they need to actually Propel themselves forward they need horizontal Force they need the ground to push themselves forward so they push and they push or they drive so qes could be drive it could be push it could be power it could be pize forward it could be all of these different things that are around power but for me the mood word that really expresses this better than anything is pressure I want you to feel like you're applying as much pressure through the first half of this race as you possibly can and the second half of the race is the exact opposite of that so we talk about things that we do technically knees up thighs up uh step off the ground be vertical be be expressive be tall all of these different cues but really what we're trying to get to is freedom or peace so that's what 100 meters print is it's 50 m of pressure and 50 m of Peace So I try to align these mood words with these coaching instructions and then all the athletes need to think about is this emotion or this mood word and all the instructions come along for the ride
