  • Usain Bolt – a Biography
    Usain Bolt – A biography Usain Saint Leo Bolt was born on the 21st of August 1986 in Sherwood Content, a small town in Trelawny, Jamaica. He is a World and Olympic champion sprinter and many people believe he is the fastest person ever, which has earned him the nickname ‘Lightning Bolt’! Usain Bolt grew up with his parents, Wellesley and Jennifer Bolt, his brother Sadiki and his sister Sherine. His parents ran the local grocery store. Bolt’s family attended the local Catholic church and even today he still makes the sign of the cross before all of his major events. As a boy all of Bolt’s free time was spent playing cricket and football in the street with his brother. He was sports mad ! As a child, Bolt attended Waldensia Primary, where he first began to show his sprinting potential, running in the annual, national primary-schools' meeting for his area. By the age of twelve, Bolt had become the school's fastest runner over 100 metres. Usain’s father, Wellesley put his speed down to ‘Yam Power’! (Yams are an important part of the Jamaican diet.) Bolt went to William Knibb Memorial High School, where he still enjoyed playing team sports, but he was such a fast sprinter his teachers encouraged him to try track and field events. The school had a history of success in athletics with past students, so he was in good hands, winning his first medal, silver, in the high school championships in 2001. Bolt was so good that a former Olympic sprinter, Pablo McNeil decided to train him.

  • Sprinters Falsify the Deliberate Practice Model of Expertise
    You can’t teach speed: sprinters falsify the deliberate practice model of expertise Michael P. Lombardo1 and Robert O. Deaner2 1 Department of Biology, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI, USA 2 Department of Psychology, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI, USA ABSTRACT Many scientists agree that expertise requires both innate talent and proper training. Nevertheless, the highly influential deliberate practice model (DPM) of expertise holds that talent does not exist or makes a negligible contribution to performance. It predicts that initial performance will be unrelated to achieving expertise and that 10 years of deliberate practice is necessary. We tested these predictions in the domain of sprinting. In Studies 1 and 2 we reviewed biographies of 15 Olympic champions and the 20 fastest American men in U.S. history. In all documented cases, sprinters were exceptional prior to initiating training, and most reached world class status rapidly (Study 1 median D 3 years; Study 2 D 7.5). In Study 3 we surveyed U.S. national collegiate championships qualifiers in sprintersn ( D 20) and throwers (n D 44). Sprinters recalled being faster as youths than did throwers, whereas throwers recalled greater strength and throwing ability. Sprinters’ best performances in their first season of high school, generally the onset of formal training, were consistently faster than 95–99% of their peers. Collectively, these results falsify the DPM for sprinting. Because speed is foundational for many sports, they challenge the DPM generally.

  • Growth Mindset Assemblies (5) Excellence – Usain Bolt
    Growth Mindset Assemblies (5) Excellence – Usain Bolt Who has heard the name Usain Bolt before? Who can do his lightning bolt celebration? The fastest man on earth is known the world over. He has always strived for excellence and shows no sign of stopping. When Usain started school he was much more interested in cricket and football, but his cricket coach noticed how fast he was and sent him in the direction of the running track, a move that would change the face of world athletics forever. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Jamaican sprinter broke the world and Olympic records in both the100 and 200 metre events. He also set a 4×100 metre relay record with the Jamaican team, making him the first man to win three sprinting events at a single Olympics since Carl Lewis in 1984. But Usain believed he could do even better. He set himself new goals and wanted to set new records. In 2009 he did just that, breaking his own 100 and 200 metre world records. After all his success, people questioned if he would have enough hunger and drive to repeat his heroics when the Olympics came around again. (Play youtube clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2O7K-8G2nwU) At London 2012, after months of dedicated training, Usain once again stormed his way to gold medals in the 100 and 200 metres, gathering millions of more fans with his confidence and charm. He inspired his Jamaican teammates to rise to the occasion too as they once again took the 4x100 metre gold.

  • 2012 Olympics: World's Fastest Man, Usain Bolt, Utilizes Chiropractic Care
    2012 Olympics: World's fastest man, Usain Bolt, utilizes chiropractic care World's fastest man, Usain Bolt, says that he is fit and ready for London's 2012 Olympics and is convinced his defense of the 100m title could trigger one of the fastest ever races in the blue riband sprint. Bolt is a Jamaican sprinter and a five-time World and three-time Olympic gold medalist. He is the world record and Olympic record holder in the 100 metres, the 200 metres and (along with his teammates) the 4×100 metres relay and the reigning Olympic champion in these three events. He is one of only seven athletes to win world championships at the youth, junior, and senior level of an athletic event. Usain Bolt regularly utilizes chiropractic care to improve his performance South Florida's Dr. Michael Douglas who is certified in Chiropractic Neurology has been the official Chiropractor of the Jamaican Olympic Team since 1996. He blends sports injury rehabilitation and traditional chiropractic care techniques and has performed these techniques on thousands of patients as well as on some of the world’s greatest Olympians such as Usain Bolt, Asafa Powell, Veronica Campbell, Shelly-Ann Fraser and more. Many, unfortunately, turn to chiropractic care only AFTER they have been injured. But, in addition to improving performance, speed and agility, ongoing chiropractic care and therapy can offer several health and wellness benefits vital to everyone: Improved Posture Increased Range of Motion Increased Flexibility Reduced Risk of Injury Reduced Migraines and Severe Headaches Improved Recovery After Sports Injuries Increased Blood Circulation and Oxygen Flow in Body Pain Reduction in Major Joints Better Focus and Concentration Reduced Stress Improved Immune System (for warding off common illnesses and diseases) Whether you are suffering from a car accident, occupational injury, sports-related trauma or everyday pain, chiropractors everywhere are ready to help you even at the 2012 Olympics.
