Tom Tellez

he was coming on there i was in the middle of this whole thing watching him up close and personal it was a very interesting Phenomenon to see this whole thing just going in that direction.

So before 76, I was down at UCLA out on the track one day training down there and I was training with Tom Tellez at UCLA and Tom Tellez was Carl Lewis's coach.

So I was very fortunate.

I had one of the very best coaches in the world that I was working with.

Let me get another tech question there since you talked about working with Carl Lewis's coach.

When did your start change to kind of world class? How was your technical skill on the sprint starts and how did that evolve for you?

The real breakthrough for me on sprints and all that came when I started working with Tom Tellez.

And he was Carl Lewis, and he had so many Olympic gold medal athletes that he trained.

... kind of thing.

And I think Tom Tellez did a lot of that back in the day, didn't he? Like, where it was like he-

Yep
