NINE, SIX, NINE

Dear Knights,

9.69 seconds.

That was the new world- record time set by Usain Bolt in the 100 meter dash this week at the Olympics.

In sprinting, it’s been common knowledge that most elite sprinters are around 5’10” and shorter.

That’s just the way it’s been. If you were taller, you would usually do a different event like hurdlers or high jump.

But Usain is 6’5”- he literally dwarfs all other sprinters. And yet, he just shattered the world record.

I bet all coaches will look at athletes differently for sprinting.

Think about how this relates to life. Think about are chat this afternoon at the beach, knights.

We are always put in a certain level. “If your parent’s are fat you’re going to be fat”.

Listen to your voice deep down in your heart.

NEVER let anyone tell you what you can or cannot do.

There are no standards or limitations.

Stay strong,

Manny
