"As if the rocket was fired," Forden went to the next level.The existence of a sprint coach behind
A casual conversation at a coffee shop in Liverpool has changed Tony Clark's life.
"I would say I had a success overnight," Clark responded to the interview with "Goal.""But it took 25 years to get there," he continued.
Clark, who has a nickname "Madness" because his appearance was similar to the Ska band, who worked in the 1980s, is a coach of the famous land club, Liverpool Harriers.The club has produced famous land players such as Steve Smith, Anika Onuora, and Catalina Johnson Thompson.

Clark himself has been talented as a long -distance runner, but has continued his coaching business while comparing with his main business, such as hosting a dance event and running vending machine business.
In the Harrier, I worked with a high level athlete.He has also instructed many soccer players, rugby players and boxers on trucks, as well as Olympians and Paralympians.
And around the end of 2019, conversations with Owen Brown are all starting.
Brown is a Phil Forden agent who is active in Manchester City.Brown and Clark have been acquainted with me for a long time, and I always meet and talk at the coffee shop "Antonio's" in the Liverpool shopping center.
At this time, Brown talked about Forden's dribbling ability.Clark then said, "He said he might be faster."
"And then explain why, that's it. I didn't think more. We spent the day."
"But a few days later, the phone rang. It was an unknown number." Hello, Phil Forden. "I thought it was a mischief and said," I understand ... I understand! "He gave Owen's name. So I finally knew it was a real Forden. "
"I ended up talking at the phone and explained what I wanted to say. I might be able to make my start faster. He said," OK, go to see me.Is it okay? "
■ "Hexagonal" with improved form
(C)Getty ImagesForden and Clark decided to meet at the Waver Creetics Center on a cold evening.So Clark focused on the three incomplete points of Forden's form and tried to fix it.
"That was the first three steps for him. The stride was too big. I had to narrow my stride as my feet landed under my body."
"If the stride is too large, it will land from the heel. Basically, the time when your feet are on the ground will be too long.I thought it would be better if I did it. "
In that way, he finished 8 degrees, and they decided to work together.
"I started with a really simple exercise," clerk explains the content.
"It was because of the practice using ladders, the practice of footwork, and the stride. The first thing I noticed about the Phil is that he really wants to learn. To be honest, once or twice, once or twice.I thought it would be clear in practice. But I understood what I was saying and what I wanted to do. "
"After practicing several times, I started to show him a video of NFL.
"Then I told him." I want you to imagine the clock board. I want you to start from the center and proceed to 12:00, next, 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock ... I need it.What is that? If you look at the NFL players, you'll see that the answer is on your feet. First, your feet begin to move and turn your arms. Then move your arms and start running. "
"" When the NFL players change their direction, they first step up and then change their direction. However, if you try to do the same thing, you can't use the quadriceps, hamstrings, or gluteus muscle.. I can't make power and propulsion well. "
"And we did a lot of practice of" hexagonal ". He was at the center of hexagonal and stepped on it. And I went to" 2 o'clock "," 9 o'clock ".It is a guy who instructs the direction and runs in that direction. "
"First of all, we worked on using the feet, then moving our arms so that the legs follow, and we worked on this change."
Of course, the practice was interrupted due to rockdown, but Forden wanted to experience more progress that could be found in early practice.Clark says, "I told his house and asked to practice in the backyard."
"I said it was a backyard, but it was more like a soccer pitch. I trained speed and agility. I had a goal because he had a goal."
"There are some images of his practice on his cell phone. Slobing a free kick into the top corner of the goal or putting the ball on the top of the net from 30 yards. It's too dangerous."
Getty ImagesAt that time, rockdown was dawn, and city was restarting.When Forden realizes the difference, Clark has a small smile.
"In the first practice after resuming, Pep Guardiola said he was commenting on his starting point. He said he was training with a sprint coach and explained our training.Then Pep said, "Please continue in that tone."
"In the first game after resuming, I participated in the bench and scored a score ( * Arsenal match). In the second game, I scored 2 goals ( * Burnley match).After a minute, he called me and said, "Oh my god! The rocket seemed to have fired!"
"He was able to realize the progress, and now everyone knows he has progressed. The start is so fast that he has been able to maintain it for 90 minutes."

For Clark, this is the trigger for the last few months.Forden, no one else, pushed his back in the coaching business.
Forden helped Clark and opened an account called "NEEDFORSPEED100".One of the big names of the Premier League has gained a lot of attention.
Clark is currently working with many soccer players.From Manchester United Charlie McNeal, Manchester City's Luis Fiorini, Wigan's James Charger (Jamie's son), Liverpool Women's Star Star, Missy Bo Chans, and Lee Lee.He has also worked on famous male players such as Peltia (middle skvia) and John Franagan (HB Kouge).
Ingraves, the DF Connor Cody, belonging to Wolves, is one of the clients."I know someone since I was in the Liverpool Academy," said Clark immediately.
"I went to Kirkby ( * Liverpool's practice area) and observed him for 10 days. The drawbacks were clear. It was landing on the sole of my feet. When I was running, my hand.It seemed like I was put in my pocket. The stride was not angled. So I couldn't produce the propulsion. So I went forward to the rudder practice, reducing contact time, and using my arms to move forward quickly.You had a lot of practice. "
"I continued to contact him. I sent a practice menu and ideas. In the summer immediately after EURO, I practiced a little together. Using the" hexagonal "practice I did with Phil,I practiced positioning my legs. "
"After finishing, he said:" Ah, Nuno (Espee Lit Santo) has been told for two years that your legs are incorrect at all.hey"
"I sent a" hexagonal "to his house and talked about it once or twice a week. I said," Move your legs and in a different direction.
"I still give a message that I'm doing it. This is Connor. Ultra Professional."
■ "Just 0.Even 5%is amazing if you increase your endurance. "
For about an hour with Clark, he knows that he loves work.He is passionate about the story and seems to be able to talk in any situation.
For example, I am eager to learn other sports such as NFL, and I record the players who are proud of the Premier League.
Clark says that Forden wants to be number one in the ranking.But the opponents are Sadio Manet, Adama Traore, Kyle Walker and Alan Saint -Maximan.Surprisingly, Leicester's Chagral Soyunk is ranked high in the 2019-20 season.Competition is severe.
"Thanks to that ranking, the view of the game has changed," he laughs."I'm a fan of Liverpool, and when I see a player like Trent Alexander -Arnold, he thinks he can be faster. He's too big."
"(Ibrahima) I'm a little worried about Konate. If the forward gets a speed game, it's over."
"Everyone thinks that the acceleration is slow if you are tall, but who is the fastest mankind? Usain Bolt? His height is 6 feet 5 inches (about 195cm).world!"
"I want to work with Trent and make his stride smaller. I am 10-15 yards (about 9).1 to 13.I wonder if I can run a steep slope of about 7m.The same goes for Konate and the young Lease Williams.It's a ridiculous athlete, but you can get faster.It's nice to be faster if you get on the speed, but in the Premier League may be too late at that point. "
Clark added:
"The endurance of speed is important. Whether you can keep the speed of 90 minutes. Look at what the players are doing in the game. Run 12km, sprints 40-50 times, and countless.I'm repeating moderate acceleration and deceleration. "
広告"So just 0.It would be amazing if you could increase the endurance of 5%and improve acceleration deceleration.That is what Phil has realized.Everyone is seeing that benefit right now. "
Forden this season has participated in 21 official games and recorded 7 goals and 6 assists.He has further accelerated his strong performance since last season.
