Absolutely brilliant video, and as someone who has researched the Vegus nerve and the parasymphatic nervous system, and the sympathetic nervous system, I can say that this video has come to me at the right time (and boy are they crucial to your health) I don't suppose you could do a video on insomnia, as this is something that I have and am trying to get rid off (stress +OCD doesn't help, but mindfulness is something that I'm pretty good at;-). I just have a funny feeling that sports perfomance + insomnia have a horrible relationship, if you know what I mean... Anyway, thanks for uploading another very important video. I'll certainly implement psychological training next time I do my physical training
Essop all of your video's are excellent but this particular one is probably your top 3. If your viewers apply the content in here, they will have an amazing sprinting career & if they apply it in life on general, they will have an even more amazing life! Salute brotha. 🇵🇷
"The one who wins is the one who works hardest!". Seriously though, this hits way too close to home. Had a lot of problems with injuries going full out to prove myself with the pressure of other people pushing to go even harder. A "you get injured because you're weak" kind of vibe. Toxic. But what I really want to know is if that spectrum tune is available in a longer version somewhere.
Great stuff Essop. I'm really learning a lot. I guess one of the reasons that kids who are the best in their age category don't continue to improve when they move up an age group is because in the next age group, they have to run at 100% every race whereas previously they could run most of their races at 85-95%. Thus they can't keep the same schedule because they need more time for recovery and therefore increase the risk of injury.
✌ insightful as ever, sir. I can't be the only one busting out 'the chuckle of acknowledgement' having realised I've got nowhere fast... akin to 'Captain Plateau climbing a treadmill' all these years. (if only your YT channel had been there in the mid80s when my young teenage self won that 400m race on sports day in 56s... never mind. back to the future. *whoosh*)
great job again Essop! thank you! probably one of the most relevant video (to me so far). sprint = neural. simple but not easy. By any chance, do you have recommendations or advice on how to improve 'stress management psychology' and 'neural system stimulation' please? In my journey in athletics I've tried different approaches such as increasing the quantity of training... (bad idea) I realized that there is no shortcut and actually Less is More. Instead I asked myself, how can I improve faster without overtraining? and I reached the conclusion: 'the faster you recover the sooner you are back on track!'. I felt a huge difference after adding daily yoga and meditation to my routine. And for those reading this comment I highly recommend these 2 exercises, stress decreases considerably! Blessings!

Great stuff! How many rest days would you want to take after a competition that involves 3-4 hours of travel in the same day? Thanks for all the awesome info.
Yo, Essop. Great video m8. I have a question, when is best to train for maximal speed, before or after plyos+explosive work with cleans, etc? The weird part tho is I do one of my best times AFTER heavy sled runs. For example I do 5x30m 25kg(weights+sled) runs , and after them I do one 30m without a sled. And it's usually a PB for me, HOWEVER, when I rest a day and then go do speed work in the 30's .. I am nowhere NEAR my PB's.. what gives?
Hi Angel, maybe the weighted runs stimulated your nervous system to some extent allowing you to feel "light" after that. You can test this theory by doing 3 reps of half squat @85%, full rest 6mn, then 30m test
Hi essop, this is brillant Can you explain if adding muscle mass to the upper body is a good thing or not ? under whats conditions ? No one seems to have an answear, thanks !

So much valuable information
Thanks
One of your best videos, and one of best videos out there about the subject!

At last, some real useful youtuber. Keep up the good work. And don't you worry about the amount of likes you get, it's not a good measure.

Thanks. Yes, I think you're right.
Or because they are just lazy and used to riding off of genetics

reminded me of Jesse Owens and was supposedly able to brush off every negative comment and not worry about any of the negativity surrounding it
Holy crap
This is mind blowing
I have been stressed this last week and I could already feel sluggish when running
Now I’m about to be sage master
😂😂 my boy Leroy running at the end. Fantastic video, I coach a small group of elites here in Las Vegas,NV. I'd love to chat man.
wich elites you coach?
You deserve at least 2 (zeros) at the right of your video view count . All videos
u r gr8
do you think you can do a video on how to start out of starting blocks
great job again Essop! thank you!

Yeah i've done that too, after the half squat my legs feel like air baloons and I make my fastest times, however, this only works once in a month...
Basically smashing n00bs make u run faster.

dydythug hamikaze I believe it is a bad idea. Try to improve strength and power without size.
Please you should write in paragraphy what you say because i cant understand your fast language so please
