As the signature of the transfer window in January, the 78 -year -old American athletic stadium coach is original. Manchester United and Ruben Amorim are actually meaningful, even if it’s not a chief coach. The appointment of Harry Marra is designed to improve individually when covering the ground efficiently and repeatedly on the basis of consulting for several weeks.
MARRA, who earned a master’s degree in physical education and athletic science from the University of Syracus in 1974, is best known as the Olympic (London 2012, RIO 2016) as a gold coach of the US digit, Ashton Eaton (Moscow 2013, Beijing, In 2015, he had a world record since he was beaten.) Eaton still has the world’s de -cuton more than 45 seconds (45.00 seconds) and ranked second in the top 25 digital car sloon performances of his 100m 100m.
The relationship between Marra and Eaton led Marra as the NCAA title and university record when working together at the University of Oregon in the early 2010s. As a heptathlete, she won the Olympic Bronze (RIO 2016) and World Silvers (Moscow 2013, Beijing 2015).
MARRA has also worked for more than 10 years at the same time with the San Francisco Giants Baseball Team and the Decathlon coach at the USA athletic stadium.
In 2018, MARRA coached Indonesian sprinter Lalu Muhammad Zohri in gold in the World Athletics U20 Championship. Zohri has become the 11th Asian man to break the 100m to 10 seconds of barriers, with the decrease in the highest individuals.
How is this related to Manchester United? Quite a lot. For 40 years, he is a sign of coaching quality of MARRA, which has been successful with various ages, backgrounds, starting levels and resources teams, groups and individuals. If criticism prevents him from touching him, consider the open minds and adaptability needed to work with the best players and teams for a long time rather than being alive.

More importantly, more and better is Amorim that United wants to do. “If you want to win in the Premier League, you have to run like a crazy dog.” “If not, we will not do it (win). It is impossible to win the Premier League without a team. Even if you use the best start XI, you won’t get anything without running. ”
The Sports Science -led Revolution in the late 2000s changed the Premier League into the most athletic leagues in Europe and is still increasing. A study on the Premier League game between 2006 and 2013 found that high strength and sprint distances increased 30 % and 35 %. Another paper was found to rise by 12 and 15 %in the same metrics from 2014-15 to 2018-19. According to SkillCorner’s data, it shows that the rise has continued. This season, the average high-strength street match average increased 16 % in the 2018-19 campaign. Sprint frequencies have risen more than 23 % of fifths and sprint distances.
Amorim, the appointment of MARRA, said, “It was not me. It was a club. ” “We are always trying to understand how experienced people can share their knowledge with employees, understand the body, and improve the player. It was not me. It was not new. He is not there to coach the team, and he is there to coach employees about everything about running. It is simple to use to improve the club. ”
Amorim wants to build a team for robbery and body. Tottenham Hotspur, LiverPool and Bournemouth were all pressed and aggressively, or because of their aggressive running. His predecessor Erik Ten Hag wanted United to be the “world’s best transition team.” He also appointed Benni McCarthy as a striker coach before Marcus Rashford produced the most season in 2022-23 and headed to professional coaching.
Importantly, all expert sprinting coaches won’t make players much faster. Acceleration, power and maximum speed can be improved, but it cannot be taught. These attributes are owing too much for the player’s physiological villain. It is shown by the career trajectory of an obvious elite sprinter before childhood and intentional training, and reaches the world -class or highest position much earlier than other sports.
Instead, professional coaches help to identify and minimize the problems of epidemiology that can lead to injuries. Last season, United had the most time in the league and had a hard time nominating four consistent people. Harry Maguire and Mason Mount, who have been injured several times, are examples of “problem cases” and “repeat rehabilitation” used by Jonas Dodoo, a performance consultant of Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United. analyze.
Dodoo, who appeared in Rugby and Athletics in Sprint Coaching, worked as a performance consultant with Derby County in 2016. He quotes Theo Walcott and Tariq Lamptey. He explains the coaching model as follows: “Brakes, plants, separate. That is what they can do. ”

Dodoo said, “They must be actively and efficiently braking, effective and separated from their opponents and can be able to run quickly. “To create a type of power you need, you need to adjust, but require efficiency, you may need to accelerate 40 and 60 times in the game, and you’re much more stressed. deceleration.”
To completely change the mechanics of the player requires time, training and resources that soccer rarely provides, but still benefits when coaching. DODOO said, “I want to enter the position and posture needed to change the slow, acceleration and direction. “It is the premise you start (coaching). In terms of sprint ability, you can see how you know how to make force in the right direction by changing the first three stages very quickly and effectively.
“If you know how to accelerate in the first three stages and know how to actively stop at the first three stages, you can have a fundamental effect on your physical characteristics and performance.”
The characteristics of the football and the game stage (a lot of settlement, sets, and 22 players in 105m x 68m pitch) means that the player has little effect on the actual speed. In the PSV’s Academy, the benchmark for one -team level performance also includes a threshold for how quickly the player should cover the first 10m.
Faster and more efficient acceleration and deceleration requires the time and space of the player (or for the other party). DODOO said, “If the gear is actually aggressive, the rest can actually scan and prepare for the next task.
United Academy-Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, AMAD and Anthony Elanga (sold to Nottingham Forest in July 2023) developed the best straight runners and accelerators in the department. “Elanga is a model.” DODOO developed a player database in the Sprint Coaching Business, which co -owned the Speedworks Training with Speedworks Training. We got 5,000 runs for 3,000 players. What we think is very efficient and effective is that he produces in his running. ”

During the first two months of this season, Rashford, Garnacho and Elanga were all 10th in the Premier League match. This is because the player is called ‘fastest speed’ because the player rarely matches the maximum speed. Amad was not because of his steps. He stands out with a low heel lift with a lot of short steps (there is an uneven arm style reminiscent of a fellow ivory and 100m sprinter Marie-Joseee Ta Lou).
The difference in epidemiology can explain the difference with the driane. As a senior United player, AMAD has completed 46.7 %of the Premier League Ribble compared to 32.5 %of Garnacho. DODOO said, “He is closer to the ground and a higher stride, which means he can adjust it very quickly.
AMAD (22) and Garnacho (20) are two members of the relatively young United team. The midfielder Toby Collyer (20), Manuel Ugarte (23) and Kobbie Mainoo (19), Centre-Back Leny Yoro (19) and the striker Rasmus Hojlund (21) moved the academy football in the UK or moved to United. Other European leagues for the last two seasons.
People inside the club believes that the most difficult part of going up to the senior Premier League is the risk of physical demands (technology/tactics) and a result.
DODOO said, “We need a wise rotation system with young players. In particular, there are more reasons for the more speed and speed merchants in the future, the more they do not load but do not overload. ”
Springing coach is not new in football. Former Team GB Sprinter Daren Campbell worked in Chelsea with MK DONS and Andriy Shevchenko. Similarly, another international sprinter, Leon Reid, worked in Brighton’s running technology. The three NFLs of Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, and Houston Texans have all hired ‘Speed Development Director’, but considering the combination of the NFL and 40 yards dashes, it is more natural for mechanical/sprinting coach.

The Premier League is in a professional coach era, such as hybrid coaches-analysts, set pieces coaches and position coaches. Coach’s investment revenue (and perhaps better) of coaches that can keep the player healthy has great potential.
Internally, Amorim is critical of his health, and the high strength of United is lower than last season.
More execution (and harder) is not automatically good, and the context of tactics, game conditions, opposition parties and quality is required, but DODOO said, “The manager’s model is true strength and the player must control it. For it. If you have a condition for such a training method with one administrator, the next administrator must increase the condition of the team that brings more intensive models. ”
If you run a lot of kilometers after defeating Brent Ford in August 2023 (to show how much they are experiencing), it is not the same approach as Ten Hag took when you run 10 kilometers. But availability is the best ability, and United must improve to implement Amorim’s style without turning the season.
