    That was a most enlightening interview. Franno gave us a lot of facts, a lot of parables and a lot to reflect on!!! People come and people go, that's just the way of the world. MVP has done great for our athletes and Jamaica, so let's big up Franno and his team for the good work that they are doing. Enough said.

    I will always have respect for Stephen Francis he tells it as he sees it and many will not like his honesty , when he opened his training camp in Jamaica most Jamaicans say it won't work he proves them wrong and now a lot of the same people who say it would not work are the same ones open up training camps in Jamaica and now it's a trend all over the Caribbean give this man his respect.

      Big Events such as the Olympics and World Championship. An example from this year, SFP timing of 10.63 in July when the Olympic was in August. While ET was doing her best timing close to the Olympic. SFP was doing similar feat previously. So this concept is top performance at the appropriate time. This seems to be more mental than physical.

      You could see it and even smelt it on the track. Shelly don't like second best so does Elaine. If you notice at first Shelly was running the 100m and Elaine the 200m. The truth is in an interview with Yendy Elaine said she preferred the 100m over the 200m so now we see why they wouldn't be friends in the same camp as Stephen Francis would have to choose who to run 100m and even if he did do a toss up both athletes would still have problems. Both of these females athletes pushes each other in a race and to me that world record could easily be broken by one of these two athletes running in the same race as both will dig deep and push out all the effort to prove a point.

      @Tiffany4Jesus1 Рік тому +1

      He said he doesn't know, MAYBE it could have something to do with her and Elaine's relationship. He never said she left due to it, but maybe it contributed. I think the coach was wrong to say that, because he fueled fire to rumors that ETH and SAFP can't stand each other. Especially since he said "he is not sure", so basically he also was speculating based on popular rumours to that respect I think he was immature and negligible, a rather reckless speculation coming from such a seasoned well respected international coach. He shouldn't have said it unless he was sure that indeed there were issues and that he could back it up with facts. He made a statement without providing facts with precise incidences that proved to him that SAFP and ETH had issues, to backup his statement. Neither SAFP nor ETH ever publicly stated that they had issues with one another while at MVP, it all started due to rumours, coach Francis used the rumor as a scapegoat as to why SAFP left and now ETH too. What's he going to say next, that ETH left because of recent rumors that ETH has issues with Shericka Jackson(SJ)🤔. coach Francis sounds like a wise man he shouldn't indulge the temptation to entertain rumours about his athletes, past or present.

    The issue is not that Elaine has left, but how she has gone about it. If you want to leave, leave, but at your level, pick a camp that is knowledgeable, experienced and can give you a fighting chance. What are her husband's credentials as a coach? Has Bert ever trained a female sprinter? Coaching is not just about teaching someone how to get out the blocks fast. I hope her new camp knows how to manage an athlete with the type of injury that she has. As for Franno, what he lacks in interpersonal skills, he makes up for in intelligence and talent. That man is not worried; he has been making stars out of average athletes for years.

Under LTD model, Francis would be able to transfer insight as to what worked and what didn't work throughout all his time working directly with her. This is why athlete's tend to take a step back, initially, when switching coaches, as it takes time for an individual's body to acclimatize to a different methodology - this is especially true the older the athlete*

    Very Good interview however I am lead to infer that (1) Though not directly admitted Elaine left the club for financial gain (2) Shakarri Richardson will be coached by stephen francis . It is also important that when asked about whether Elaine left the club due to financial reasons Coach Francis whilst not answering in the affirmative gave the analogy of top flight sports stars like Messi and Renaldo who both left their respective clubs for financial reasons and went on to say that Athletes are not bound to stay with any particular club . What i would have liked him to do is shed some light on the percentage of atheletes sponsorhip that MVP takes and how earnings are paid to atheltes. After all MVP is a business so clearly their are contractual terms and I feel if Elaine believes the terms are not as favourable to her now and the club cannot come to a compromise then she is well withing her right to leave its just bsuiness its not being ungrateful.
