BOSU Office

Today went to the BOSU office like I normally do on Wednesdays after my last class and today was an extraordinarily explosive brainstorming day. David Weck is working with Tyson Gay, the number two sprinter in the world, and helping him increase his power and speed so he can overpass Usain Bolt. David was exploring a starting technique in which you would throw both hands behind your back like as fast as possible and keeping your body as low as possible in stead of the traditional method throwing one arm ahead of the body and they alternate with each stride. David was brainstorming which specific method of throwing the arms behind the back will decrease the center of gravity and increase speed off the blocks. I was just sitting on the couch researching information I am going to do for a presentation and was just blown away by the innovative technique he was going to present to Gay to decrease his 100 meter time. David loves tying in how the body needs to pronate and supinate to keep centered and balanced, and how efficiently and effectively Gay can pronate and supinate will directly correlate to how good of a sprinter he will be in the future.
