  • Coby Hilton is a #100meter #sprinting athlete in #trackandfield for USATF, that does not have a shoe sponsor. Yet he still made the Olympic Trials in the 100 meter dash and qualified for the semifinals.

    thanks, Rob for giving the guy the applause he deserves... back in the days when 10 sec was the WR, by Paul Nash, a South African sprinter, my dad was second, also not to be there, after running 200, 400, 800, long jump. he was asked to fill in on the 100 for team points.... it's ok, he was my hero.

    Love these underdog stories-not to take away from the stars-it’s a tough game-but people working at Walmart, or without sponsors in these trials have been a breath of fresh air. Aside from the high-school😳athletes..just some real grit and determination-always hoping one of these athletes will have a breakout! Kudos for telling their stories the Olympics still offer a chance for dreams and hard to fuel real achievement.

    You have a distinctive story-telling style that just keeps you hooked and fascinated… plus your voice modulations, your emphasis, your distinctive pronunciation, which is charming and causes one to focus on what you’re saying, which is very important- all into a unity of fascinating, interest .… I also immensely enjoy how you are featuring these up-and-coming runners in sort of a prophetic way, showing what it takes to be a champion intensified by the mantra: He’s not supposed to be here because guess what? No one is in the first place when they get there supposed to be there,… It’s all in the surprise… cloaking the hard-work, discipline and self sacrifice… . I don’t know how I came across your channel, but I’m going to subscribe … although running channels is not that usual for me.. what is usual is me is my love for good storytelling, a dedication to helping others and promoting our young people in their dreams and hard work in ways that make others realize what it takes to be a champion -- your channel is the first I have seen to do that…in fact we need more teachers help our young people. I hope Coby secures a sponsor, I pray… and if he does, and you had a hand in it, then it proves my point - you are doing God’s work. Blessings!

    Watching Hilton race next to Coleman, I noticed something interesting:
    The gold standard “perfect start” is 7 steps to reach the first 10 meters, which is what Coleman does. Hilton is able to reach the 10m mark in 6 steps, which is unusual. Many sprinters spend years cutting down from 9, to 8, to 7 steps… and for Hilton it takes 6. He is a very efficient sprinter!

    Everything i'm watching of noah over 100 is geared towards that 200 wr. Remember he said it himself. He needed to be regularly sub 10 over his first 100 to crack that 200 wr. All i'm seeing over the past 2 seasons is him moving ever closer that. Any success he gets in terms of medals over 100 i believe are bonuses. I think noah is & has been for a long time laser focused on that 200 wr & i think this is the year he makes his biggest bid for it. And personally i think he'll do it. If not in paris then this year at some point. Thanks for the vid coach.

    This is likely a trial and error development. I think Michael Johnson did the same thing, only the other way. These postures are simply the best for them. But they were both repairable. Hilton clearly needs more glute power. He is able to bring his legs forward faster, which is why he is in this posture. When he can move is legs behind him faster, he will gain speed from a straighter posture. Dude needs to spend more time on a hyperextension with weights/bands, to build those muscles. And with full range movement. This is just an opinion of someone who has studied a bit of physics, and is mechanically minded. I know squat about sprinting, other than it is dang hard to be competitive. I love all the hardworking athletes wishing to represent the US at the Olympics and other events. Not trying to be overly critical. And I am perfectly open to being wrong.

    Why is it that most Americans think that, in athletics, most athletes competing at the Olympics are professional? They are not! The majority are just athletes who desire to be the best. They have full time jobs and fit their training/competing around that. They often exist because of fund raising from friends or their local running club or their village/town. Yes, they may get contracts to supply them with running shoes/athletic clothing and even expenses to help them travel to other cities or Countries. But they are not considered "Professional athletes".
    If that were the case, then all USA College athletes who attend College on Sports Scholorships, are also Professional athletes. They get their College tuition paid for, sports gear, coaching, travel expenses, sometimes accommodation, health benefits etc. They get far more than most "amateur" runners around the world, with the exception of a handful of TOP athletes in each sport at the top of their games, who manage to get large sponsors get a Sports Club.

    • @hdvictoryford5329
      @hdvictoryford5329 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sorry Bro you are dead wrong. They get sponsor money, endorsements, and alumni money just to name a few. How do you think they can full time train? My friend works for a major retail chain, and he personally told me the money his company throws at Olympic Athletes is staggering, why? It is simple, it is the best adv there is, and the price is small. Just look at what it costs to run an add at the Super Bowl. You get more bang for the buck giving money to Olympic athletes. Call it what you want, they are getting paid either directly or as donations.

    • @johnwilson5743
      @johnwilson5743 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@hdvictoryford5329 Hi. Having been in that exact position, I can explain that most of the athletes at Olympics, also have a full time job! They don't full-time train! Very few get Corporate sponsorship, unless they are top three in the world or have World Records. Your view is extremely clouded by a USA version. Other Countries do NOT have money from Universities/Colleges. That only exists in the US. The various individual sports bodies in a Country may get some Corporate money but normally it's from Sports Clothing/Shoe companies and is to outfit the team, not individuals. They would have to have individual Contracts and only the best-of-the-best get those.
      We always worked one full time and one part-time (Bar work) jobs so that we could take off 3 months per year to tour and compete in Europe/USA/UK. If we picked up prize money, even better!
      Obviously it depends on which sport. Middle/long distance Track is the easiest to do as 95% of our training was done in Forests/Parks/Beach and Hill workouts. Only a small amount was done on Running Tracks to hone track speedwork.

      Some day, perhaps not too far into the future, they will have to have implanted measuring devises that record data points every minute for months or years, and all the cheats will be caught. Alternatively, people will embrace cheating, like they legalized pot. I am hoping for the first scenario. Being forced to use, to be competitive, is not something we should want. Genetic modification is right around the corner too. For 20k in Costa Rica right now you can get a genetic modification that prevents muscle loss. So you can take a break, and be right back where you were.

      @@JakeRichardsong Some positions are safer than others. Thing is, if he can't catch, or throw well, they will probably want to make him a linebacker or a running back. And indeed, those are concussion a week positions. If he can kick, teams would love to have him. A kicker who can actually get down the field and make tackles is rare and valuable.

    Thank you for highlighting the underdog. You also show how the major sneaker companies don’t give a flip about athletes as much as you do. I can’t believe so many high-level athletes go unsponsored. They pay the top exclusive elite crazy dollars and drip none of that down to the next tier. Ridiculous and shameful as they reap billions off of the amateur athletes, their supporters, and the average sports fan.

    It would be a lot of people that we have never heard of that could be very fast post college but finances forces many many college athletes to leave the sport unfortunately. But I love is desire and work ethic to continue his track and field career post college even though he didn't get sponsorship to start off with.

    Semi finals in the USA 100M trials would be equivalent to the top sprinter in most countries. It's like being a top 20 distance runner in Ghana, Ethiopia, Kenya. You'd be the top guy most other places in the world

    Remember, Cravont Charleston, former U.S. Champion in the 100 meters, was also sponsored by apparel company Tracksmith, and not by any of the big names (Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Puma, etc.)

    While we can celebrate this mans perseverance and efforts for what they are we can't celebrate him as a great adult 100m sprinter. He finished 18th in the semifinals with a time of 10.15.
    The HIGH SCHOOL record set by Matthew Boling in Texas is 10.13,

    There are many great high school athletes who never go to college because they aren't recruited. The cost of college is very high today. That is why universities should recruit from within the U.S. instead of recruiting from foreign countries. Any university, that receives government funds in any way, shape, or form, shouldn't be recruiting foreign students and giving them scholarships of any kind. Even if the foreign athlete has demonstrated a better time, the American athlete should come first. People are probably going to disagree with me anyway. Through this video and other videos, you have proven that there is great dept in the excellence of American athletes, and that American athletes are always improving themselves and reaching for excellence.
