Ralph Mann

But she knew nothing about track and field, but she was smart as a whip and learned everything.

I mean, to the point where she could do Ralph Mann's lectures.

She could lecture for Ralph.

Dude.

I do know how to conversate with him and our conversations are, When I first got there, we're always just, I'm trying to absorb as much knowledge as possible.

It was also, you know, when I first met Ralph Mann.

RIP Ralph Mann.

RIP Ralph Mann.

You know what Ralph Mann told me right before we went over to Paris? I did my last session with him, and he said, I said, what's that? That's how much the difference between first and second is going to be.

And my money's on you.

He called it.

When you want to go, use your hamstrings and your glutes.

My father, Dr. Ralph Mann, started it in the 90s.

And throughout my life, I've worked with him.

I was filming and then I did a lot of the analysis.

One of, one of my best years of playing golf, Fred Griffin was my coach at Grand Cypress.

And he and Dr. Ralph Mann, the biomechanist, went out and studied putting, and they told me this in 1993.

Great putters, if you measure, measure the length of time that it takes from when the putter starts back till it hits the ball, it's the same time every putt.

So when I hit a two-foot putt, it takes me 890 milliseconds to go back and impact the ball.

So what I really wanted to do was make it more accessible.

My father, Dr. Ralph Mann, was an Olympic silver medalist and world record holder.

And I started working with him as a child, filming track meets, and then as a team doing analysis.

And so the mechanics of sprinting and hurdling was more in his voice.

You can understand this and you can do this for yourself.

Okay.

So you mentioned your father.

And for people who are not aware, in 1972, I was only 12.
