“For every sprint race, we have to start from the blocks. The blocks are very important but I want to put something for you to think about.
The start is important but it’s not everything. You can have a decent start and still win but if you have a bad start, it’ll be difficult to win.
Always keep in mind that the start doesn’t have to be perfect for you to win but you still need to work on good positions,” he said.
He explained that he always tries his best to get to the 10m mark in seven steps while being powerful and fast. However, he cautioned against being overly powerful and strong and explained that athletes should just maintain their stamina.
“If I get past the 10m mark in seven steps, I definitely know that I’ll be flying on the track. If you watch any of my videos, you’ll notice how I do it,” he said.
The American added that passing the 20m mark, he is still trying to put on that force and that is where he will accelerate and try to find the speed. Going to the 30m mark, he explained that it is where his body will naturally try going up and he does not force it.

“You have to keep positions and calmly try and keep up your pace. You don’t want to do that all at once because you might just lose your energy faster. You need to calmly and patiently adjust a little bit more speed,” he said.
At the 80m mark, Lyles noted that an athlete usually has already hit their top-end speed. At that point, he urged athletes to maintain the speed they have.
“At the 90m mark, this is where you can be deadly. While others are dying, you can convince yourself to maintain your form and add a bit of more energy,” he said.
