Without Olympic Gold there's no living to be made in track. Even then endorsing companies only care about gold medal speedsters. The rest get regular jobs.
He’s gonna be talking from lineman perspective. I was also a national channel several times and I’m not fat and I was the fastest. I don’t know he really talking about but he was a professional football player as a lineman
I feel like wrestling was the first sport
After a committed football and wrestling season track season sucked so bad for me I only did it one year and I said F this I need a little time to myself. Wrestling season I wouldn't see a Saturday Sun until the season was over it, it was brutal but I love the s*** out of it
You are one of the four fastest 10-year-olds LOL
I love that he's so proud of that my little brother just sent me a message that said I still hold all the weightlifting records in my high school and it made me smile so big
Don’t agree with his sentiments. I’ve seen players get much faster from sprint training.
I will say track was a great supplementary sport. I wouldn’t run in the meets but I definitely would show up for practice. My ability to maintain my top end speed improved drastically.
Mark super duper third leg behind Carl Lewis. Ten years pro 3 pro bowls and two times all pro 🫡🤝🏾👍🏾
I played football, wrestled, ran cross country, and was on the track team. Football camp is typically during school break. Track season is right before summer. There is no conflict in time. There is no overlap and track athletes do work out in addition to conditioning depending on the events. A lot of assistant coaches from the football teams coach track. There is no incentive for an NFL player to run track. There is no money in it and why risk their bodies. The football players that have any kind of draft stock aren't running track. Skilled positions are the only players that have the speed for track. They also tend to have the shortest shelf life. Putting extra wear on the knees and ankles is a risk. Deon Sanders career was shortened by a turf toe injury. It just doesn't make sense to run track for a football player.
I disagree I'm from South Florida and all the skill players run track in highschool and we produce more D1 and NFL players than anywhere else .
College guys run track
As a collegiate track coach that has trained people to lower their 40 yard dash times before their NFL combine and Pro Day, I disagree that track doesn’t make people faster. The fastest NFL players typically ran track too. It seems that best high school football programs are linked to good track programs.
We need a track league in usa
He a body builder that philosophy worked for his kids.
2 of his sons are pro’s so he’s right. Straight line speed is different. If you train to be a fighter pilot you don’t train in a 737.
Running track is beneficial for all kids including kids playing football. It's good to train in more than one discipline. Many great football players ran track as kids and in HS.
Ran track and Played football in college. Track practice WACK ASF. All that damn running all to travel to a meet to run 10 and 20 seconds. 😑 then i realized D1 track is year round training. Nah im out, ill stick to football ✌
i do agree to be at the top in track , you got to be born with it or take hella steriods lol
Difficult to be a pro. Any sport. Can we give Bo and Prime Time even MORE kudos? Not only were they 2 sport athletes, but they were all-star caliber 2 sport athletes. Glad I lived it and saw it.
If you want your kid to have cte you know what sport to pick

Bob Hayes, Florida A&M football, gold medalist Olympic champ. OJ helped set a 4×880 record on the USC track team back in the 60s. Lyn Swann also USC could long jump 26.0' facts..
You Americans plays football with you hands .. Where I'm from we play football with our feet.
Speed training and weight lifting don't need to be separate. You do both. Speed training is different than running fast. You need to run 95% to 100% with lots of rest. But in football you need to be fast and be able to decelerate. Track builds top end speed foundation great for young athletes
They say pimps are born..lies. it's who trains you😣. simple! Everybody starts off running 12 or 13 in the 100m before training. Everybody! No 10 yr old ever ran 10 something in there 1st 100m ever
You should interview John Brown. He’s trying to grow his YouTube channel
Marcellus, track isn’t the 1st sport; it’s 2nd.
The 1st sport is wrestling. I know many think track is 1st because man has been running from the beginning of time, but who do you think he was running from? WRESTLERS! 😏
Btw, he’s wrong on that. Research sprint based football/Feed The Cats approach.
I respect the results his sons have, simultaneously that doesn’t mean all his advice is right. He also tells his son he needs to drink Coca Cola at halftime. 😂
My coach for track was a distance runner. He had a team meeting once. He told everyone that "god made sprinters, i make distance runners." Statement was so true
Shout out to the West Valley Eagles track club. But Marcellus knows the Valley Rush got the real talent. 818 stand up
Motor City Track Club in Detroit
All star football players (outside of linemen) ran track. All! Not some but all!
The reason I stopped running and just football and basketball, was because, it wasn't no points. I couldn't go back to the hood and braf, cause yo homes don't know what those track times represent, but if I gave the other team 40, or I scored 4 to, everybody know what that looked like lol. They gonna say what the always said about you, oh he fast, that don't compare to he dropped 40 last nite lol
You are right mw but all kids dont have fathers/trainers or highschool football teams that can work them out all year long so track and field can help those kids stay in shape and work on those fast twitching muscles in offsaeaon
You use the same muscles just work on stopping more
LA Jets still killas 🤣. We live in Vegas and they show us every year. 💨💨
I kind of disagree, you can train in other sports to help you out in your current sport. For example: my daughter is a softball player but i put her in track for 2 years to help her with her running mechanics. Now she’s a beast running bases!
Jerry rice took ballet lessons to help him with his route running and some amazing catches the way he torqued his body
Hakeem olajuwon had GREAT footwork in the NBA because he had a soccer background
I would say for young athletes having a year of track in your background is definitely good same as any fighting discipline makes you a well-rounded athlete to have more skills but at the pros unless you're freaking nature you have to specialize in the sport you're playing
